Had so much fun presenting this talk on how to be an effective Ally for an LGBTQAI+ ERG.

It was lovely to have an engaging discussion with people who care. We need that these days!

Before the calendar. Before the list. Before being "productive."

We can just BE.

There’s a way of living that starts with wonder, not obligation.

This is about reclaiming the energy of aliveness—& remembering that our days can move at the pace of breath, rhythm, and belonging.

Lately, I’ve been reimagining how I move through time—not by managing it, but by living it.

When I orient toward what nourishes me—toward the enchantment of the natural world, the rhythms of slowness and breath—everything else begins to fall into place.

What do you need? Just for today, for this moment? Can you give it to yourself or allow yourself to receive it?

My own grief and fear of uncertainty is also resonating with that of those around me, many of whom are also feeling a mix of complex and overwhelming emotions. We are in the energetic and systemic field together.

Our own grief can also open us to deeper connection to others.

Leaving is never just an act of walking away. It’s a ritual of unmaking. It’s the shedding of skins we once needed, the tender dismantling of what no longer holds us. It’s the heartbreak of gratitude—for all that was—and the terror of the unknown that follows.

Leaving is often a messy, complex process, whether we chose to leave or had the choice foisted upon us. This Substack series reflects on that process. along with journal prompts to support you in your own process.

Hi all! Taking this week off from social media. Just feeling the need for a bit of space and time and connection of presence in real time. Sending ya'll lots of love.

With all that's happening in the world, joy and beauty can feel hard to access. And yet, taking even a few breaths to notice beauty or cultivate joy can help us meet these moments with more creativity and resource. What's one joyful moment you can notice today?

A ritual and reflection on the Autumn Equinox: how to find balance in these times.

In times of relentless crises, the equinox reminds us to prevent burnout by seeking balance, micro-moments of peace, and collective care.

We are tired. Not just “I didn’t sleep enough” tired, but bone-deep, soul-worn tired.

It's very real. But so is resilience. Together, we can root into rhythms that sustain justice for the long haul.

Here's a deeper exploration of the theme for the week on my Substack:

Are you exhausted and overwhelmed by all that is happening in this world?

I am.

I'm practicing holding the complexity of it all: facing the harm in this world while also remembering how to co-create a better one.

We can only do it together.

This September full moon, we’re invited to reflect: 🌾 What are we harvesting in our lives and justice work? 🍂 What must we release to sustain the movement? Nature’s cycles remind us that transformation is never linear, but always turning. 🌕

As the September full moon rises, we poise at the threshold between summer’s fire & autumn’s descent.

In a world of upheaval and turmoil, the cycles of Earth remind us that transformation is never linear.

May you find abundance & creativity even as you hold hard complexities.

At a time when it is easy to feel powerless, we need to (re)claim our power.
The good news is that there are many different kinds of power and we need them all to help co-create a better world.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, scared, enraged at the events in our world? Are you feeling like "What can I do?"

Me too....but social justice leaders have long taught me not to give up. WE STILL HAVE POWER.

And we need to use it.
