I have this feeling. Maybe they aren’t feelings. Perhaps they are a sense we haven’t figured out yet. I’m unsure if finding words to label them regarding my experience is necessary. It would help in terms of explaining my experience of life. I haven’t written much because I’ve been trying to be for the sake […]

I feel down a rabbit hole. I wasn’t intending to, but one thing led to another, which led to a book, which led to a podcast, which led to a report. Here I am weeks later, falling through on my promise to write every day. I didn’t even write much in my personal journal. I […]

There is a place I go to I call in the way station The place in between In between life and death In between coming and going In between living and surviving I’m not sure most people even realize they are traveling through It’s not a place you are supposed stay long It’s easy to […]

I caught a clip from a podcast of a female entrepreneur. By age 29, she built a business and sold it for 100’s of millions. She had this spark, this drive in her. I look at the world around me, filled with individuals with this spark and drive to do something. Then there is me, […]

Yesterday was a huge realization. It was my default position that not knowing myself entirely meant that I was somehow flawed. When I read O’Donohue’s words in Anam Cara, it was like the bud had finally broken through the dirt. So much made sense. We are continually growing, which means we are continually becoming anew, […]

I’ve been in this phase of asking “why?” I want to know myself deeper. I often feel how I am shaped and molded from outside myself. This includes individuals, societal expectations, media, and forces I don’t recognize.

I have been reading and researching lately on a whole variety of topics, so I haven’t felt compelled to write much. I’m currently taking a course with Professor D.W. Pasulka. I am loving it. I am also reading her first book, with the second book in the wings. This is typical for me; I read […]

Today, I received an email from a company (individual) I hired to help with this website. She needed a tax form, and I had not provided one. Honestly, I spiraled. It was one of those moments. I had slept on the couch the night before. My youngest is running a fever and I myself don’t […]
