I have to rip off this blog silence bandaid. The truth is I have a whole lot to say. It’s just the sitting down and getting it right that plagues my ability, the dissection of perfection keeps me from connecting, from hitting publish, from letting go and harnessing the magic inside that is me. This is something that countless others have said and I’m going to repeat it here. Be yourself. Be your true self. Be-YOU-tiful. Be fucking you (the version that speaks to me). It’s the wholehearted truth. And the universe is relentless in sending this lesson because I haven’t fully gotten it yet, it’s not embodied. When I finally recognize this one coming at me, I groan thinking, “Shit, really?!…
Be the bright constellation of all your hopes and dreams.

I am not a laborer of thought, but a reflection of heart, a silent soul speaking through a body of Hope and Grace. {this is re-posted in remembrance of 9/11} Violence is the voice of an ignorant heart. As a young teenager I tore that phrase out of a magazine and glued it on the spine of my poetry binder. It’s stuck with me since. One of my fondest memories is of me at age 7 swinging at my family’s cabin in Glacier National Park. It was an older swing set, the forest green paint chipped and peeling, the chain squeaked a bit as it moved, but it didn’t matter for I could still pump myself high into the sky while leaning…
