Coming Home

Today is my one year anniversary of leaving Thailand and coming "home". I immediately hopped on a plane to California and poured myself into the arms of these ladies.



We drove down, deep into Mexico, to sit in the healing hot spring waters under June's full super moon. It was exactly what my body, mind and soul needed. I'll never forget how the earth felt like the pull of a magnet on my body, like how it does when it finally flips to the correct polarized side for connection.

Happy anniversary indeed bless that which is so good in America's southwest, Tempe community, desert magic and the nurturing of others. So humbled by life, I spent the last year being held by the universe, friends/family and learning about my softer side, until a healthier time for me would come. Now, a year later, I feel like I'm back. Even stronger, wiser and full of compassion for the hard moments in life. Inside of my ribs burns an unwavering trust that the light will inevitably shine brightly after any darkness, as it always does. Summer Solstice energy is upon us to light up our shadows and fill us with a little soul-shine. I'm here to tell you: Soak it up! Let the fire of your own experiences burn beauties...I love everyone for all your hurt and all your glorious victories. This human experience leaves me in such awe tonight. Grateful is an understatement :)

I respectfully acknowledge the land on which I live and work is the territory of O’odham Jewed, Akimel O’odham (Upper Pima) and Hohokam Nations.

I also honor and give thanks to my indigenous Cherokee, Celtic and Nordic ancestors, whose wisdom and medicine I am here to remember and carry.
