Death as a Teacher of Surrender.
I still haven’t figured out how to be okay with death, to stare it in the face and allow it to happen as a natural process of life.
4 am and Other Reluctant Friendships.

Authenticity: Inhabiting Wildly Tender Revolution.
Congruent authenticity happens in the guts and bowels of your life. Being authentic is the grunt-work of the soul, of any deeply human, spiritual path. Being half here, half there, halfhearted, faking it to look good, strategizing to make things easier for your self — that’s the common way of ...

Aging Gracefully: Becoming The Woman I Always Wanted To Be.
We are given this human vessel to look after, and it's our responsibility to nourish it with excellent self-care. Beyond the physical, it's the feeling of aliveness that we need to nurture to stay youthful and enthusiastic about life.
Why Staying Present With Loss Is An Act Of Devotion.
I did not engage in this practice to prove something to myself or anyone else. I was not interested in flexing my spiritual muscles. I did it for Jenny. My willingness to stay present through this process was an act of devotion. By leaning into the horror and yielding to the sorrow, by ...
