“Loving myself has felt better than being loved by anyone else.
No excuses. No compromise. No judgment.
And the crushing loneliness left my body.”

I am so grounded these days.
All the attachments that once felt like chains have softened into threads, and I can feel them releasing day by day.

Joy is back.
Excitement for life is moving through me again.
And at the root of it all is the radical, unapologetic self-trust and self-love I had to fight for my life to cultivate.

The tears, the dark days, the long nights — they’ve given way to new patterns and a new way of moving through the world.
Accepting what I cannot change.
Embracing what I can.
Choosing what is for my highest good.

Real. Earned. Mine.

To all those that did not turn away, who bravely witnesses this process, my words of gratitude will always fall short of the feeling of love I have for you. You are my community, the tribe and I hope this love shines your way too.

Abundance rest.

I'm still here, just not always posting on here.

It's summer, I am full out, and when I am not, I am pouring back into my bucket.

The bucket gets energy from beautiful things, genuine company, and needle moving action.

This morning, I had all the ingredients for a truly delightful breakfast ritual. Well, now it may be a ritual!

Buckwheat crepes, egg, goat cheese, and fresh salmon roe. Ah, the taste of summer!

The memories of seasons canning with my kids (the eldest of whom is about to move out and away to follow her passion). The times of delighting at the food of Europe. The memories of the dear people I think of as I savor this food.

The gratitude is there and abundant.

Credit to for sharing the recipe
Credit to .pottery for the beautiful functional pottery plate. I have used these daily for over a decade. As well as for teaching me the art of how to brine salmon roe when the salmon run and for gifting me this jar of it. It is being enjoyed.

Remember to love your life. Today and everyday.

Actions have consequences.
Just like objects in light cast shadows.

While awareness illuminates, the edges of that awareness also become visible.

We all live inside our own unique expression of light and shadow.
I’m reminded of the ancient Taoist symbol, Yin and Yang.
Light exists within all darkness, and darkness within all light.

Light and shadow invite reflection.
How are we living most fully in our light — our joy, values, and purpose?
Where are the edges?
Where is the pain, or the edge of pleasure?
What are the causes of our suffering?
What drains our power?
And what is for us to illuminate, to tend to, to heal?

This is where embodiment practice lives.
The ability to stay with ourselves.
To move between light and shadow as explorers of our own experience,
without abandoning ourselves along the way.

The body never lies.
This is why I offer Embodied Movement classes that use gentle, somatic practices to reconnect us to our bodies and our inner knowing.
It’s also why, in my coaching work, we lean on nervous system tools like breathwork, to stay present, steady, and capable of navigating hard things from a grounded place.

The deeper your connection to the real you, and the more honestly you express that outwardly, the more natural vulnerability becomes.
And vulnerability is where connection lives.
As Dr. Brené Brown reminds us, it is the foundation for true belonging.

And none of that works without boundaries.

Light knows its boundaries. There are lines it will not cross.
For us to stand in our light, and to protect it, we have to be willing to hold boundaries that honour us.

The best boundaries are made of love.
They are not about punishing or controlling others.
They are about guiding ourselves.
They are the promises we make to ourselves about how we will respond in situations that challenge our values or safety.

When boundaries are used to control or manipulate, that's not protection — that's coercion.
And when coercion becomes the pattern, it creates systems of control that rob everyone of choice.

"Strong back, soft front."One of my favorite sayings by Tara Brach, buddist teacher, author of Radical Acceptance.

It reminds me that even when the world can be harsh, it is always possible to be open and soft. It acknowledges that boundaries are healthy and nessicary, in order to remain open but not open to those that do harm. That trust comes from my own strength and capacity. Every lesson is before anything an inside job.

This is centre. This is strength without martyrdom. Kindness without over giving. Listening without prejudice. It is Presence.

What does this mean to you? Do you suffer from being strong? Or overgiving? Having no boundries?

You are not alone.

Bless all those who think they know somone, who they are or how they think, without even asking their opinion or experience! The huberous!

Must be incredible to be so wise.

Here is the truth. You knowing someone in this way is laughable. For example: I lobe personal growth AND I am just getting to know myself. I am a constant student. Perspectives change the more questions you ask. The only certain person is the one who fails to ask more questions.

Here are some great ones:

"Is what I believe really true?:
"How can I know it to be true?:
^^ "Wait was the above fact based on an assumption? Start again!"
"WHAT IF what I believe a the moment to be untrue IS in fact true?
"Could both things be true?"
"How does that shift things?"

If you're not asking these questions, DAILY about your relationships, your career, your religion..... you're on autopilot of assumptions. You are stuck in your story that has no bearing on reality. Possibility shrinks rapidly.

Reality IS subjective. True. But by peeling back the onion layers, we can get clarity that is respectful of far more than our own selfish pride.

You don’t need to burn your life down to feel alive. But you do need to stop assuming you know how everything’s going to go.

I used to think I had it all figured out:
Who I was, what I had to tolerate, what “normal” looked like.

Turns out, staying small felt safer giben my circumstances, but it was quietly killing my confidence. I didn’t know how it would turn out.
I still don’t.

But I do know this:
Each time I act in courage, I reclaim a little more of myself. Not because it's easy. Because it's true.

Here are 3 ways to break your routine this week, just to see what happens:

Say yes before you're ready. (Growth never feels convenient.)

Tell the truth, even if your voice shakes. (Clarity invites magic.)

Do the opposite of your first impulse. (Your nervous system will survive.)

Are you ready to change your relationship with courage. Reach out. Let's talk.
