My Dog has Cancer…WTF That was my Facebook status update for July 10, 2014. I surprised myself in sharing such news through social media. But, Bentley, my silly Weimaraner was just diagnosed with Lymphoma and I was hurting with the looming uncertainty of it all. It was quite the surprise diagnosis after a week of no appetite his only symptom. We snuggled in the Veterinary Oncology clinic as the web of decisions needing to made unfolded. This trial versus that trial, this chemotherapy protocol versus that, biopsy the first step and we were not even sure he’d make it through the weekend to that crucial moment where we could know more, scientifically, about which way to proceed. All paths meaning a matter of…

In a vast universe of unknowns There is one thing known without a shadow of a doubt And that is that you are here… Now *** Believe in the luminous sphere of potential that you are Life is abundance in motion Move, let your atoms collide With the voice building deep from within *** Express, share, and dance With the infinity that envelopes Us all as One *** Be a possibilian Let all flow through you As no feeling, thought or word Is final *** Breathe this breath of life And come alive Here and now as You
Dear 26 year old self, You may want to sit down, I am. Better yet, go grab a glass of wine, I have my tea here as it’s early. I need to lay this down before I lose my nerve. Although as Cheryl Strayed shared, if your nerve fails you, go above your nerve. That women will spark a renaissance within you, along with others: Glennon Doyle Melton, Elizabeth Gilbert, Brene Brown, Cynthia Borgeault, Mary Magdalene, Anais Nin, Maya Angelou, your mom, your sisters, your friends… a Tribe of women. All here sharing wisdom and swapping stories, blessed be those that come together as truth tellers and warriors of love and light. I want to share with you a few things…

“Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.” ~Howard Thurman Today I start a 30-day online writing course titled “Write Yourself Alive“. It sounds quite promising as who doesn’t want to feel alive? I have to admit that ever since the opportunity presented itself in my Instagram Feed, thank you Tyler Knott Gregson, I’ve been anticipating this dedication to the one I love. Words, whether spoken, scribed, whispered or imbibed, are my reverent boast to the universe – that I am, that you are, that we all are alive, each one of us is living this one precious breath of life. I’ve…

Because you showed up And I showed up You clasped my hand As you looked into my eyes And I saw your soul smiling …it matched mine *** Because I let my self feel it …and you did too *** But we’re perfectly imperfect Humanly messy Yet heavenly blessed We embrace And rush forward Then step away Which is ok Some things new others old Feelings need space time to sow *** And I know how to walk side-by-side As you make acquaintance with yourself Again and again and again *** We won’t cling We’ll dance And laugh And talk shit Enjoying ourselves Life is short There are no guarantees We made it sweet Two bodies eclipsing *** And if this fades To a…

When I write My muse whispers Little white Truths That alone harbor no meaning But stitch a realm Beyond here and now *** What I write does not affect one or the other But silently reflects Truth I hold no knowledge that isn’t already known For learning Is to realize The quest accomplished by another Yet knowing Is to pioneer An intuitive quest of my own *** I have a storyteller soul That silently speaks Through a language of shapes and forms *** My thoughts and feelings Bear no resemblance to my outward self But resonate my one self *** An ethereal being that changes form From the slightest cosmic flux

Leaning into him I marvel at how I ended ended up here with this beautiful man, side-by-side in the booth, our boundaries dissolving as we discuss slices of our life, dreams, and painful fading memories. Sharing pieces of ourself, talking shit, and learning from our perfectly imperfect selves. Looking in each others’ eyes as the attraction builds. Maybe it’s the French he whispered in my ear followed by a l’il nibble on my neck, maybe it’s his genuine mega-watt smile or his lithe hands, so strong and yet able to gently fold into mine. Synchronicity sparked as we thanked the other for a fun night at the same moment. It’s late, we just know, the waitress knows.. we’ve come alive here in this polaroid in…

Happy New Year! I’ve decided no resolutions. Seriously, I ate pasta with green olives and salami dusted with grated robusto cheese followed by chocolate chip cookies and champagne. I won’t vow to lose 15 lbs as I can trace that to the ghosts of resolution past (all the way back to my teens), I won’t state that I’ll run every day or kick and punch a heavy bag or perfect downward dog; I won’t declare a war on words- to finally tap out the novels racing through my heart. Instead of a list of to-do’s, I reminisced 2014. The highs– a trip to Thailand and China, many golden moments with my daughter, sailing lessons, more beat sheets and pages written in the…
