Christmas day (mini) hike in NC🎄✨️ Strawberry Gap Trail: past Fairview, before you get to Bat Cave, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure. There are roads blocked off due to hurricane damage, but at least I was able to enjoy a little fresh air and movement ❤️

This is my view out the window of my Airbnb in Southeast Asheville this morning 😍 I was going to share a message, but it went away 🫠 I’ve learned to trust that, so instead, I will just say Happy Holidays 🙏✨️ Oh, and that I can relate to Jesus’s mother Mary as I concludeContinue reading “Christmas Eve sunrise”

View from my Airbnb in Southeast Asheville ❤️🎄✨️ I’m feeling the feminine nurturing energy of this land as I complete what is hopefully the final round of edits on the book manuscript. Here’s an excerpt:Misogyny in Healthcare Settings A pretty strong case can be made that the medical system is structured specifically to disconnect womenContinue reading “Excerpt from the book: Misogyny in Healthcare Settings”

They, too, are in a relationship with the system- sometimes more than individuals who are seeking support from it!” I’m currently trying to find a place in the manuscript for this: “ToContinue reading “Book quote”

Words of the week: devotion. awe. gratitude. I took this picture yesterday morning at my Airbnb outside of Asheville, NC. Today, I woke up in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. The journey between the two is always interesting to me, as they couldn’t be any different geographically and culturally- as well as the aspects of myselfContinue reading “Update”

If we approach our minds and bodies in an aggressive way, without acknowledging what they’ve survived – and protectedContinue reading “Excerpt from the book”

WNC is just showing off now 🥰 This was sunrise a few mornings ago. ..I caught it just in time, as it turned out to be an overcast day. There’s just something about this land that keeps calling me back. Anytime my mind tries to find a definitive reason for these trips, I’m told it’sContinue reading “Asheville in the fall”

I had fun photographing the mug I bought from @marstonblow at the @om.sanctuary market this weekend 🍁🍂 The artist shared her intention of anchoring Devine feminine energy to keep the planet in balance during this transition time 🪷 The mug is a gift for my friend in FL, who is picking up our mail whileContinue reading “Mug”

Life is everything. It’s amazing. It’s terrible. It’s exhilarating. It’s exhausting. It is the crystal clear and the blurry. One moment, it is clarity and decisiveness. The next, it is learning to exist in the unknown and hold a lot of nuance. We set out of this trip thinking we would stay in Columbia, SCContinue reading “Life is everything”
