How I Knew I was a Writer

And a Storyteller I am a Writer. Those words are sometimes difficult to say out loud. Nevertheless, I have always wanted to be a writer. At eight, I wrote my first poem, Broomhilda, into a small diary, the kind with the lock, whose cover was made of cloth and printed with daisies. A small…

Faith is a Season

A Short Reflection on Winter — When winter darkness descends Nature in her wisdom deprives us of any frivolous expenditure of energy, making the days shorter and our need for rest more pronounced. It seems as if each day calls us to look inward, to bless the space in between the darkness and the emergent light. Winter is where our creativity and soul songs gestate in the shadow of the unconscious, like invisible seeds planted in the fall. The wise will drop them into the fertile ground of that liminal space with the faith that they will blossom in the light of spring. There is no guarantee. But you plant them anyway.

Unless You Know This — In the past few years, we have been confronted with circumstances that caused us to disconnect from friends, colleagues, and family. We learned how to Facetime and Zoom to maintain some connection to one another, even if it was only via a computer screen. For those who were single, the…

How to Meditate Without Sitting Still

Find your inner flow — I’m sharing the results of my “kitchen meditation”. Pretty much a whole day thinking through what I wanted to make, getting the ingredients together, mixing, tasting, experimenting, all while listening to some pretty good tunes with some dancing thrown in too. And you might be thinking this is a food…
