Hi friends – My life between stories continues. There are new shapes forming in my life, but they are hard to encapsulate with words. In fact, very little about this season of my life has felt adequately described by the current confines of the English language. Words can contain, restrain, liberate or isolate. Sometimes all atContinue reading “More (And Less) Than Words”

A Brief Composition On My Current Decomposition
Hi friends – Three months, one full seasonal cycle ago, my marriage ended. Sometimes this is what three months feels like. And sometimes, apparently, that is what twenty-one years looks like. Linear time is a funny thing – as we all have learned in profound ways in these last two and quarter years. Linear timeContinue reading “A Brief Composition On My Current Decomposition”
Mushrooms and Much Room.
Hi friends – It’s been many months since I have written to you. Thank you so much for all the love and prayers you sent me during my surgery and recovery in December and January. The support I felt, so widely and deeply, is impossible to name with words other than, thank you. I haveContinue reading “Mushrooms and Much Room.”
Portals and Prayers
(Originally published in December 2021) Hi friends – In a little less than a week I will transport my consciousness into a fog of anesthesia and consent to having my gallbladder, a cute little organ that has served me mostly quite well for the last 45 years, removed. As you may know if you followContinue reading “Portals and Prayers”
In Security
Hi friends, Recently a dear friend of mine was lovingly reflecting that she heard some insecurity within something I was sharing. She wondered if it were true and/or if it was okay she was pointing that out. Her words came in the form of a video message, so I paused the video and rewound inContinue reading “In Security”
On the Road, again
Hi friends – It’s been a minute. Over three months full of minutes actually, since I last wrote. For the last seven weeks, Jeremy and I have been road tripping around seeing (and hugging, laughing, crying and generally enjoying three dimensional, offline reality with) friends and family for the first time since B.C. (Before Covid)Continue reading “On the Road, again”
Continuing Cultivation
Hi friends — My last newsletter, sent around the Equinox, ended with: “There are more mysteries to uncover, pain to be with and wounds to attend to individually and collectively…” More mysteries and pain manifested in my own life a few days after sending the newsletter, with a gallbladder attack that took me to theContinue reading “Continuing Cultivation”
Spring Emergence
Happy Equinox week friends, Today is the third day of Spring, and the air feels rich with hope. I’ve been sensing a turning point this last week, collectively and personally, with more spaciousness and potentiality available. Thank you to all who reached out with love and care around the loss of my brother-in-law Jim in early February… andContinue reading “Spring Emergence”
It’s All Love
“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.” -James Baldwin Hello friends, Early on in lockdown I was texting with my seven year old sagacious niece, who is a real live magical fairy. She and I began to chat online more often once quarantining started and herContinue reading “It’s All Love”
New Years Newsletter
Hi Friends, One trillion lifetimes ago, on December 31, 2019, we had an NYE party at our home. I went all out in a hot dress, fishnet leggings, huge lightning bolt earrings, a red wig and an over the top make-up job done by a fabulous 12 year old boy whom I adore. I experienced a powerful awakeningContinue reading “New Years Newsletter”
