Relentlessly
I gave a man asking for change at the gas station a hoodie last night. It had been sitting in my trunk for a while, and I have more at home. The nights are getting colder. I gave a woman a fanny pack the week before that. She said she needed it, so I took it off my waist, emptied the contents into the front seat of my car, and handed her the bag. A hot pink Lululemon Christmas gift from a boss who spent our bonuses on trinkets we could use but not as much as the money. I didn't need it. I resented it but used it nonetheless. I took myself out today with my last twenty dollars for the week. The goal was to write and forget for a minute. But I'm asked for help by several people along the walk and give the twenty dollars away.

My Anxiety
My Anxiety is a lion with a mane of barbed wire and claws made of rusty nails. It is always around when I try and fail. My anxiety is a full, week old garbage bin. It stinks when it's around and stops me from succeeding again and again.

Why Today's Offices Prevent Productivity
The Human Soul Will Never Thrive In A Prison. This is Why Today's Offices Fail to Produce Results. It is also Why "Mandating" Returning to the Office has been such a Failure across the Board.

My Story - Why I Became a Medical Intuitive
Many people have asked me how I got into the intuitive work that I do. This is My Story. A strong intuition is something I have had my whole life. I remember as a small child just knowing and seeing what others didn't. I never dared to share with my family or friends the things I knew, as I was afraid of being weird or odd. In hindsight, I would have loved to discover how the intuition all worked decades before I did. The world would have made so much more sense to me if I had a mentor to tell me I wasn’t imagining things, or making them up, or being too sensitive (a label I carried into adulthood). How do I explain to my grade two teacher when she chastised me for daydreaming, telling me what a "horrible" child I was, that I was seeing angels floating and dancing around my deceased brother outside the classroom window?

Susanna Kaysen, Susanna Kaysen? Checks! Girl, Interrupted?
Flashback. Nuns at Catholic Daycare in Habits. Grape juice and crackers. Even Catholic kids are selfish and mean. Flashback. I pissed my pants. I couldn't kick the big red ball at kickball. I don't know anyone's name.

Dear Phoenix Letter #2
Dear Abuser, It’s been four years since the last time I saw you. Since the last time I heard your disgusting voice. The last thing I had ever heard you say was something to my husband. That I was cheating on him with Hope. But that was the furthest from the truth.

Softness and Strength - Balancing Life
I go to yoga classes and “practice” the art of strength and softness in my poses. It is quite remarkable how the slightest micron of a movement can change the way the body feels from head to toe in the minutiae of sinewy muscle variations. Where pain resides, it can be transformed into strength and a shift in both perception and feeling. Ease enters the fascia, and the burn in the muscle tissue turns into a warm inviting message/massage. I lean in to await the universal wisdom in the softness/strength balance of life that permeates my thoughts on a daily basis.

When Angels Speak - Channeling Madeline
I have been guided to share this message with you. “Dear Grandma: I know I am on your mind today because, of course, it is the day that I passed. I know you are hurting so please bear with me what I am about to say. I know you love me, I know you want me back in your life, but I simply can’t. I have moved on to a new energetic way of being and I am asking, no, begging you to do the same. I see you struggle to find love, acceptance, and a place in the world that makes sense to you. I am telling you that you are loved and accepted every moment of every single day, because you were created to serve and shine your light brightly. It doesn’t matter that what you feel with your earthly senses cannot “see” what I see. I know it for a certainty. You do have a purpose and you are living it, even if you don’t know it. The universe knows and I am sharing this wisdom with you. Don’t play small. Don’t listen to the ones who tease, mock, or abuse you. You are on the right path, you are deeply loved, and this short journey you are on is just a microcosm of an infinite performance that you are a player in. Every breath you take contributes to the uplifting of souls. Embrace your life and live without the fear of letting me go. I know you have grieved, I know you have suffered. Now, I want you to get on with your life, live to the fullest and don’t ever think that I measure how long you have grieved for how much you loved me. It is palpable. I love, love, love you. I am here always.”

Dear Phoenix Series - Letter #1
Dear Abuser, You took a lot from me. You took my freedom, my sanity, and more importantly, you took away who I was. Even to this day, you still taunt me in my thoughts. However, I have accomplished more than I could ever imagine. Linkin Park came out with a new song called the The Emptiness Machine. It just came out recently, and honestly it applies to the situation you put me through.
