I took a fast walk this morning to get the body and mind to hang out for a spell. I’ve been in the spirit a lot, but my mind has been taking control again, lately. This time in my life is really very frightening. I’m freelance writing, but still the only income I get until …
This may sound strange to some of you, but I’ve realized I have guides. All of us do! Perhaps within us is a voice that speaks loudly, with worry and concern. But there is a soft voice within the chatter inside… for me, there is no knowledge of gender, name or even a vocal pitch; …
I woke today with the memory of last night: One of the twins had a melt down and the 7 year-old was pushing buttons on every person she could, the 12 year-old stomped off in disgust, and the 14 year-old rolled their eyes. The 15 & 24 year-olds were busy and tucked away from the …
This business of mothering is challenging. I want to be an individual. I want desires of my own to be important, noticed and validated, just like the rest of us. But as a mother, there’s just no getting around the fact that I am a master at many things and a failure, too. Take for …

May I step forward and state, I am placing 100% of my time into my Practice. My Practice is working one-on-one with the most …
Oh Navi, I love your twinkle and how you are adventurous and brave. Excuse the geek-digressions. I can promise, if you try this for one single day, you will shock your loved ones and realize what tolerating and acceptance feel like and you may also find out what it feels like to be spoken to …

Yesterday’s journal entry June 12, 2019 So… Today, I pulled my blood companions close. I realized our relationship has been fragmented. Sisters were pitting against each other.
