Living Inside The Long Emergency
As the world moves through cycles that feel urgent and unsteady, what can we actually shift? Our awareness. How we show up. Where we place our attention. We may not control what’s happening out there, but we can change what’s happening within. This work invites you into a grounded middle space—where presence replaces reactivity, and clarity, compassion, and intention guide how you engage with life.

Start Here First. Always.
I have a spot in my living room that my husband calls my “consciousness corner.” It’s one corner of the couch, near a window, beside a small table. On that table: a lamp, a stack of well-worn spiritual books, and space for a cup of coffee. This is where I sit every day to meditate. This little guy is my frequent companion there. I try to get there first thing in the morning, before anyone else is awake—when the house is quiet and the cats are playing. Some mornings I arrive

Hello 2026!
Happy New Year and holidays, wherever this finds you. For decades, I’ve been writing and recording—lessons, stories, realizations, poetry. I have notebooks all over my house and office (okay, not strewn—neatly stacked, but that sounds far less picturesque). I’ve always felt called to share this work more widely. Before I had my children—eleven years ago now—I did. And then life expanded in beautiful and demanding ways: two incredible humans, multiple businesses, and very rea

Angrily Stomping in Rainbow Socks: The Juiciness of Letting Go
My feet stomped up the hill, rainbow socks tense with frustration. The stuffed animals were in all the wrong places again. I felt the familiar surge of irritation—until I noticed it.

Nothing outside had changed—but everything inside had.

Let go of “when” and be joy now.
So often, the mind whispers: “I will be happy when…” When the schedule clears. When the to-do list is complete. When life finally feels in order. But joy doesn’t wait on circumstances. Joy, contentment, love, peace — these live inside of us, in the spaciousness of our own being. Autumn makes this visible. The trees let go of their leaves, each one drifting to the earth. What looks like an ending is also a beginning. The leaf nourishes the soil. Its vibrant red is beautifu

If flowers had preferences like humans… we’d never have any blossoms
I recently had the joy of speaking at Creative Mornings Boulder. All around the world, different chapters were exploring the theme Blossom, and I loved sharing my own take and interpretation of it. You can watch the recording to hear my talk and get a sense of the event. My favorite part is when I act out two flowers talking to each other… and conclude with this “if flowers had the amount of preferences that human beings do, we’d never have any blossoms… I used the talk as a
