Heading in to the New Year can bring up all sorts of feelings. Validate your feelings. There may be an opportunity to create a new relationship to the New Year, if that feels appropriate for you, if it does, start with asking different questions. 

What would you like to experience more of? Less of? Maybe we aren't meant to be at a 10 in all areas of life at the same time. We move through seasons. What season is this for you? What is appropriate for you now? How might you say "yes," to what is yearning to emerge?

As we bring 2021 to a close, I share my perspective on intentions vs. resolutions. And this might not be a year to put pressure on yourself, it might be a year of patience, compassion, gentleness and understanding. Ask yourself. Wishing you more space, knowledge and expression of you in 2022, in any area, in any amount. Sending you love!

Receiving a box of pears from my aunt this year was meaningful, and brought up an old memory of my "coming out" Christmas 13 years ago that I share in this episode. When it is all said and done, you are whole, beautiful and wonderful, exactly how you are. Here's to holding our pain gently and lovingly. Here's to creating friend and family environments which honor and celebrate our authenticity, identity, expression and love. 

Our life is made up of some highs and some lows and many in-betweens. How might we sho up to our daily activities with gratitude and presence? When we aren't able to.. let's give ourselves some grace.

Curve balls galore! Are things not going as planned for you? Sending you well wishes for practicing giving yourself space to let off steam with intention to support your well-being. 

What habits and practices provide you with deep comfort and support? Let's do it! I am focusing on drinking water, movement each day, and a warm bath here and there. This is the darkest time of the year, let's snuggle up and through it :)

I love problem solving and getting things done on my own. I also love collaboration and being on a team! When I set out to do something on my own and show myself I can do it, and then I realize I can't, it can be hard for me to work through who to ask for help and how to do it. Do you relate? Let's help each other. 

This time of year can be overwhelming for some of us. What if you didn't have to "decide" how you felt and instead felt it all? How might you create some gentleness and space over the next two weeks for yourself? Winter break babay! 

honoring bell hooks today and all days. Thank you thank you thank you. What is love? I recommend reading "all about love." And then I go into creativity and our relationship to our expression. How might you take one baby step today to express yourself today?
