Self Love Spells
The snowdrops are up here in the mountains, I first spotted them from the porch. From a distance, they look exactly like the glitter of the last remaining scraps of snow. Up close, they smell like melted vanilla ice cream and look like hope. February is a softening month. A time when the hardness…
Marie Kondo’ing your Consciousness
I began this year gung-ho in my quest to do less. I launched into de-cluttering my To Do list and cultivating the downtime my spirit has been so desperately needing. I cleaned, and listened to podcasts. I took a bath, and watched the new astrology forecasts. I stepped away from the crush of my…
Navigating the Holidays as an Empath
I’ve often found that magic and sensitivity go hand-in-hand. Some of the most magical people I know, are also the most sensitive. Through the years of coming to recognize just how tender my own inner landscape can be, I’ve realized that, instead of being a hindrance, my sensitivity is actually what enables me to see those…

We normalize everyone’s experience and then each one of us can realize that we are not alone. Today I want to share my story, my whole story so you can see how perfect your…
The Ancestors’ Bonfire
Last month I traveled to Ireland to visit the old neolithic burial mounds and the seaside where my forebearers most likely made their home. I made a pilgrimage to the old sites— the hills shaped like breasts, springs tucked in a moss-covered hazelwood, the circles of stones. I went by myself Ireland, to put…
Three Things I Wish Someone had told me about Meditation
It’s the cornerstone of every self-help book, spiritual workshop and guide to awakening. It’s the medicine that people from all walks of life recommend to heal just about anything. And for the longest time I simply could not get myself to sit down and do it. You guessed it, I’m talking about Meditation. I think it…
