Ive been thinking a lot about my cousin Craig who just passed.

He had a difficult journey with chronic pain & while I didn’t always fully understand some of his choices (I wish he had taken much better care of himself), I cant help but wonder how different his life would’ve been if he had had proper treatment for his back.

If cannabis or other alternatives hadn’t been so tabu for much of his time on earth, could we have added years to his life? Would he have forgone turning to medication that was detrimental to his health and mental state?

He had such a brilliant mind. He was genius level smart- the product of two gifted parents who attended college in their teens.

But my favorite thing about him wasn’t just how intelligently he could speak on research or data. It was how he approached suffering, it was exceptionally compassionate.

He talked a lot about how he believed world leaders could and should be in service to humanity.

I’ll miss our talks buddy. Im so glad you’re no longer in pain.

There is finally rest for your weary soul.

Love you.

Hey beautiful friends,
Im currently waiting to be scheduled for spine surgery so I’ll be honest, Im not functioning quite like myself.

The compression of the cord, nerves and soft tissues in my neck is causing massive pain, some occasional shakes, & weakness in my arms and legs.

My doc has me on meds that are helping to boost my immune system, manage my pain (non narcotics) and calm my nervous system. But the trade off is nausea, dizziness and fatigue.

Short version: Im in less pain but Im a sedated zombie. 🫩

Im doing the best I can to get through each day, and though its been challenging lately Im hopeful that this operation will be successful and life changing- after all, I now have two healer guides on the other side.

I truly believe mom & dad are my angels and they are with me on this healing journey. 🦋✨

My brain is on overload and my body is so tired, so please be patient with my forgetfulness and absence of communication.

All of this is going on but did I still make sure to get my cat a new mirror? Yes, yes I did 🤦🏻‍♀️
Gifting makes me feel better, what can I say.

Love yas 😘

Ive reached the stage of growth & singledom where I get really excited about simple pleasures like planting flowers and pulling weeds, listening to records by myself under a canopy of stars, perusing flea & farmers market stalls, enjoying a good cup of tea after a local bookstore find, drizzling lots of foods with olive oil, meeting friends downtown to enjoy live music sans alcohol, and sprawling out in the middle of my bed by 8pm.

The single life is SO good. The best part is that the awareness, the discovery, leads to even more love and respect of self

Its sometimes hard to listen (to your own needs) when your days are packed with singlemoming or any of the other real world adulting that can take us away from ourselves.

But something I learned from my mom, that I consider to be very important, is that you must have your own identity no matter how much you want to sink yourself into another person or career.

If you parent so hard for example, that you never make any time for activities that make you feel like you, you will have less joy and energy to share with your child.

This same balance is also important for those of you to meditate on if you are overworking or tend to be codependent in relationships.

Reboot your mind, body and spirit. And yes, you CAN make the time.
Your wellbeing is a priority.

Since my divorce Ive learned that grief and joy can merge & thats called, “life.” Ive become messier and less measured. And that’s why I feel free and occasionally still scared. Im more tender, tough and I hope wiser.

While Im at peace with my decision, sometimes I still miss the idea of him.

When I met Tom he was sweet, funny, romantic and thoughtful. He was already addicted to alcohol but hadn’t yet lost his gentleness.

Addiction took him from me in phases. I watched him become angrier, more stressed, negative and mean spirited.

As his moods fluctuated more and more frequently he shuttered his vulnerability and allowed alcohol to harden him.

Where does the softness go? Where does the love go? It feels like it disappeared into a wave of grief- the loss of mourning someone who is alive but not living.

I know he’s still in there somewhere. So every time I have to set a new boundary or explain what really matters to me, it chips off a new piece of my heart.

I’ll always miss who we were to each other.

For now, I pray with all my soul he wont lose his life to this disease.

And if he ever wants to get sober he knows I will be there. He hates me for it. Hates how Ive always held him accountable. Its funny because my honesty, authenticity and commitment to my values were the very things he used to say he loved about me.

Now those are just the things I love about me. And that will have to be enough.

Im sorry I couldn’t love his demon away, but my son needed me to learn love myself more.

Together again 🌈❤️
Early this morning these two love birds were reunited when my dad, Jo Brice Wilmeth passed peacefully in Los Angeles, CA.

My dad helped so many people. His life’s work and passion was medicine.

He was member of search and rescue in Ventura county, he was on the cutting edge of technology as a forefather of Hyperbaric Medicine, and served as a family doctor who lovingly listened to and went to bat for his patients.

When he was needed he answered the call.

I used to call him the absent minded professor because he also shaped young minds, educating future generations on the importance of keeping medicine about healing not profit…and because he would forget where he put everything he owned.

He was so goofy and silly. I have missed that side of him so much, as in recent years his heart was heavy from the loss of his beloved. He told the same dad jokes over and over again and found them hilarious as if it was the first time every time. I can just see him now asking, “Did anyone feel that earthquake?” with his glass on crooked.
It never stopped being funny, mostly because of that big hearty laugh he had. It was so full of joy and so contagious.

He was an avid music lover & had a gorgeous voice- one of the many things Im so grateful to have inherited from him. It soothes my soul like it did his.

He supported every endeavor I ever pursued, encouraging me to take whatever path in life that made me happy, no matter that challenges I would face. My illness frustrated him, but he never stopped believing I could do anything I dreamed of.

From the bottom of my heart dad. Thank you for always seeing me and cheering me on. Thank you for making me laugh and for making me cry. Thank you for all of it.

I love you so very much, always.

Hi all, a note from me to you:
How have you been holding up? Do let me know.

As for me, well, if a 2nd opinion confirms it, I may be having surgery in the near future.

This makes my plans, having an additional home on my property, all the more important.

Passive income will be a life changing way for me to support myself and my son.
Im hoping my investor will cooperate as he once gave me his word he would.
*So say a prayer or send some good juju my way*

If all goes to plan, a year from now or less, I will have a gorgeous little space to rent out to professors (seasonal workers) and tourists who may also want to benefit from my healing services.

It will also serve as an event space when time allows (between customers) and when Im fully recovered.

I have some very very magical plans for my land.

I love this space. Im feel so grateful to be able to sink my toes into the soft earth here, to take in the mountain views from every window, to breath in the fresh, unpolluted pine air; listen to the osprey calling, the goats yelling and the neighbors peacocks singing out; to watch the deer leaping through the trees and to focus my gaze on the elk magnificently lumbering down our dirt roads. ✨The energy of peace is abundant here.🌲✨
