Alice: How long is forever? Sometimes, just one second. The truth can be a hard pill to swallow. Whenever I think about the topic, I come face to face with the parts of my life that are illuminated through the reflection of truth. Change is difficult. I can’t think of any of the big life […]
Life is a journey through choice, consequence, and the battle between learning from our lessons and painful recovery through failure. Some might say this up-and-down journey looks a lot like love. In my mind, I see love a bit like looking in the mirror. When I see my reflection in the mirror, I’m reminded of […]
There are some weeks that seem to float by without a care. Other weeks feel heavy and exhausting. This past week was more of the former. Art is about creation. Creation rarely happens without some sort of destruction; transforming a shard of clay into a vase, or career expectations for a pursuit of passion. The […]
Joyous, blissful moment, sitting on the porch, you and I two forms, two faces, yet one soul together, you and I The groves’ gift, the birds’ songs give us the water of ever lasting life, when we come to the garden together, you and I The stars of the night sky witness us we show […]
This week, I was having a chat with Steve about the healing process behind emotions and our past memories. “In many cases, we ‘split off’ parts of ourselves that we don’t want to deal with.” he said, as we walked through the rainy streets of San Francisco.

Finishing my lunch, I heard an explosive burst of laughter coming from a child. […]
“I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!” It is […]
I recently heard a saying that in order to remove a demon of its power, you must learn the name it carries; knowing its identity removes its ability to demonstrate authority over you. Thinking about this statement, I had to reflect back on the question of my own identity. Who am I? Am I the […]
I’ve spent the last three weeks traveling in the beautiful country of Uruguay. Each week has been spent in a different city, with lodging ranging from a beautiful beachfront home, to grimy hostels that lack air conditioning. To say the trip has been a challenge is a bit of an understatement. Yet, it’s also given […]
Throughout my adventures in Uruguay, I’ve kept an eye on the news and happenings going on inside of the United States. Right now, it seems like a stretch to call them “united” in the post-election state of our union. I was very encouraged to see the collective millions of women (and supportive men) that have […]
