Since the beginning of my awakening process I have had this fascination with ships and the sea. Of course it’s easy to see why, they symbolize voyages into the unknown, adventures into uncharted territories, having to face stormy and turbulent seas in order to reach new horizons… it’s all such a beautiful metaphor for the journey of life. The journey into the depths of ourselves and the infinite possibilities that are hidden...

This piece was inspired by a lot of reflection and inquiry into the trap and burden of physical beauty in this world. More specifically, in this society. I am currently working on a book that explores this in great depth, but what I wanted to express, shortly and sweetly, with this piece was this: We all want to be beautiful and have the perfect body because we honestly believe that those people are more loved, and that if we can achieve that,...

I LOVE to travel. There is something about that being in motion and discovering a new place, and vantage point on this earth, that just sweeps me off my feet. I could go on about it for days, but I’ll leave it summed up with this quote that I wrote for Roam Adventures: “Traveling to new destinations is like falling in love.  Arriving at the sweetest place inside yourself, mirrored back as the sweetest place outside yourself....

This piece was inspired by Peter S. Beagle’s, The Last Unicorn when I was a little girl, I watched this movie about 10 million times, and it was my favorite all-time story. Imagine how stupid I felt when, just earlier this year, I discovered that it had been a book this whole time!!  The book is so beautiful and so absolutely rich with symbolism and metaphors for the deepest truths, that I of course immediately fell in love with it much...

I have always loved the vision of swinging from the stars and moon. Of being cradled in that gentle motion, the sway of the vast expansive blue. Such a sweet image, and so comforting. Which reminded me of what it means to me to be TRULY HELD. And to be someone who truly holds… holds my loved ones, holds my world, holds myself. I believe when we are truly willing to see ourselves, and we are truly committed to our own freedom and...

This piece came to me just when I needed it the most… just like ALL my creative expressions do. It came to me when I finally really GOT IT that in my fear and clinging to what WAS, I cannot possibly allow what IS – much less what is coming. We all “get this” on a conceptual level, and I felt I already knew this, but it was not until it fully resonated in my whole being, and not just in my mind, that I truly understood....

I mean really… do I need to say anything more?  :)

  This one was inspired by my dear friend and longtime client Bev Sanders, founder of Las Olas Surf Safaris for Women.   I attended a women’s surf retreat with Bev a couple of years ago, and it was such a magical and transformational experience, that one could never do it full justice on paper (or blog). It’s just something that you gotta find out for yourself.  All of my own personal epiphanies and experiences aside, it...

This piece speaks to the fact that, no matter WHAT you do in your life, the presence of the LIFE THAT YOU ARE will always remain within you. It is what you have come from, and what you will return to, once again.  There is nothing you could do to ever truly separate yourself from that which you are. However, when we open to that presence, and honor it in ourselves, we let that light emerge in the world, and it touches everyone we meet. Inviting...

This piece was created when I was at a stage of reflecting on the journey from childhood to adulthood, and how the inherent love, wonder and magic of life – slowly dwindles as you UN-learn the natural goodness and beauty of life. Confusion sets in, and what was once so clear and so real, now becomes a faded memory. For me, the awakening process began like being re-born, and I felt like a child all over again, that playfulness, and...

So this was the next in the series beginning with Be Who You Were Born to Be and you can see the progression in meaning, picking up where the other one left off. This is the ultimate simple truth for me, and it was inspired by a quote by Deepak Chopra who said “The truth at the center of the universe, is love.”  What I experienced, when I got all of the garbage in my head out of the way, can only be described as LOVE – and...

This piece was my first in this series. One of the things I love so much about poetry, songs, or any writing for that matter, is how it can be taken (by the reader or listener) on so many different levels, and mean so many different things to different people, depending on where they are in their life. This can be taken as a simple whimsical inspiration telling you to follow your dreams, or it can be taken at a deeper level as the beginning of...
