It is a beautiful spring day outside. Butterflies abound. Flower are opening up. A slight breeze is helping lift the heat, which suddenly returned to the island last weekend.
We’ve fallen into a quarantine routine in my household, which is much harder on my husband (who does not like to be contained) than it is on me. I already work from home, and other than my deep need to go be out in nature, I can be quite introverted and hibernate-y when I’m in writer’s mode.
Read MoreIt has taken a couple weeks to assess and understand how I’m feeling in the midst of the pandemic.
As an empath, I feel like some part of myself just went into overload and hasn’t known what, how, or when to feel these past few weeks, let alone energetically separate out what my feelings are verses others.
I suppose that’s why I feeling such a deep need to return to myself at this time and anchor into my inner guidance and spiritual connection in as many ways as I can.
Read MoreIt’s not so much that I found the Akashic Records, it’s more that they found me.
Back in 2014, I heard by word of mouth about a woman who did Akashic Records readings. I didn’t know much about them, but I was open to dialoguing with spirit in new ways, and when my friend told me how powerful and helpful her reading was, I decided to reach out and see about doing one myself.
A week later I found myself sitting in a dark, quiet room at a yoga studio as the woman across from me told me about how we can access our unique soul wisdom, stored at an energetic level, through our Akashic Records.
Read MoreLately it feels like things are changing on a moment by moment basis. The pandemic has tossed life upside down, and we are all navigating into unknown terrain.
I’ve been so many shades and tones these past few weeks. One moment feeling positive and can-do, the next grappling with financial anxieties and long-term implications.
As a transformational teacher, I’ve struggled to find my voice and how best to show up and offer support. As an empath, I’ve struggled to maintain my energetic boundaries and separate out my feelings from the collectives. As a grief teacher, I’m realizing the magnitude of loss, and it’s triggered a complex web of grief tied in with losing my brother.
Read MoreThere is a lovely songbird chirping outside as I write these words. It feels like a reminder to stay in tune with myself and sing my own song from a space of joy and purity.
There’s a lot going on in the world right now, and that, mixed with few personal incidents which popped up this week, left me feeling diffuse. As if my empathic energy field was a wooden boat with several holes, and I began to sink and soak in other’s energies at a faster rate than I could bail them out.
By the end of the week I felt a strong urge to return to nature, to return to myself, to return to my heart and the truth within.
Read MoreCarrying an invisible wound inside of yourself isn’t easy. When I lost my brother in 2016, I walked around for a long time afterwards feeling like half of my lungs had been ripped out.
I looked whole on the outside. Perhaps if you looked in my face you might see the stress lines and grief in my eyes, but otherwise my appearance showed nothing to indicate the deep suffering I felt inside.
Read MoreLast month I had the honor of being onstage in Anchorage, Alaska, giving the talk, “Transform Your Heart. Transform Your World: 8 keys to unlocking the true self.”
Being a spiritual being on a human journey is hard, and I love developing vocabulary and ideas, that illuminate my own understanding and also help support others on their path. Transform Your Heart is part of that mission and purpose, and I hope to soon give the the talk on Kauai as well.
Read MoreMapping out the path to self-love is not something that comes with a detailed route or an instruction guide. There’s not a step by step process for how we arrive at a space of self-love. In part, because by the time we arrive at our ‘destination,’ we will discover we have further to go.
Self-love is an endless spiral, where we continue to circle deeper within, as we grow, change, and find new ways to love ourselves whole throughout our lifespan.
Read MoreA special message from the angles for solstice 2019.
The energy of Solstice 2019 is characterized by a turning point.
It is a time of retreat, stillness and rest in the Northern hemispheres, and light and movement in the Southern. But for all of humanity, the common theme is choices and moving in a direction that continues to align you with what you already know.
Read More{A poetic dash of whimsy, magic and holiday nostalgia for the inner child in all.}
December breezes in with streams of snowy winds; candlelight and comfort rituals become the hymns which lend and send their sighs for winter’s darkest night.

The angels have a beautiful message for us this month.
You can read their words below, followed by a brief reflection on how I came into my gift of receiving angelic messages, and why I’ve chosen to share them more openly at this time.
Read MoreIt began with an epiphany.
I recently had searing clarity surrounding my life path: I teach others how to embody intuitive living.
It sounds so simple when you distill it, yet it took me two years of wandering through my inner soul-wilderness on the island of Kauai to fully see: everything I write, create, jot, muse, imagine, teach, draw, speak- everything I AM- all traces back to being a teacher of intuitive living.
Read MoreRecently I had a realization.
It felt icky and uncomfortable, and there it was anyways.
I realized that I had not been making space for gratitude and that appreciation had weakened in my life, because I get so wrapped up in my personal journey and goals that I miss THE journey.
Read MoreA voice floated in on a tangerine dream, confettied with flecks of white and gold: ‘It is safe to become and be seen as your highest expression of self.’
The sun is peeking through the dappled jungle green, the family is still sleeping tucked into a cozy bundle of human and fur, and I’ve been quietly sipping coffee and contemplating turning 42 today.
It wasn’t that long ago that I was contemplating turning 40.
Read MoreYears ago, close to the end of June, I stood on a mountain top and released a bunch of balloons to symbolize a massive letting go of the past and a new future founded in trusting the path of the heart.
Read MoreMy brother would have been 43 this week. His birthdays are a strange event for me.
Every year that another one passes; I move further down a timeline without his physical presence and wonder who he would have been if he’d lived to see that age.
Read MoreThe purpose of any truth is to learn to live it. To embody it. Own it. Let its veracity become the key to liberating our hearts and beings on a deeper level.
After all, it doesn’t do any good to obtain wisdom, truth, and knowledge if we don’t integrate it into our being.
Read MoreIt’s a sunny day on the island, and though bird songs are always plentiful here, they seem to have increased tenfold over the last month. Riotous melodies and chimerical chirps accompany these words, reminding me to find the joy in day.
It has come to my attention lately, that I’m very good at getting ahead of myself in life.
Read MoreApril is here, and I can feel the subtle shift that comes with the beginning of this fiery Aries season.
Things feel alive and inspired.
