I'm currently working on... “owning my darkness and embracing all of the parts of myself I was taught to be shameful of. I'm working on being whole in my magnificence, which means honoring the grit. I'm opinionated, I'm sharp, I'm fierce, I rage.  Someone recently told me that rage is apart of love and that I am so full of love and so full of rage. This duality is what drives me to do anything creative. This is also the duality of sexuality. So I'm working on embracing my desire - for lust, for love, for life. I don't mean chasing it, but meeting it.” Interview for @self.practice - link in bio
Tap into your inner wisdom while observing your objects - how will each object best serve you? If you want to put your salt holder on top of a stack of books to hold your rings - do that. If you want to use a chair as your bedside table - go ahead. Challenge your own perceptions. This will ignite dormant creativity for you to tap into, while helping you to break free from the confines you place on yourself, as well as on your possessions. Read more - link in bio
Do you ever feel completely repressed because it’s socially unacceptable to make a weird noise/face/body movement in public?  I do. We are told to explore and to be creative, but within the confines of a box. “Be yourself!” “No, not like that.” I’m sure you’ve heard this before.  Yes, social etiquette is in place for a reason, but these rigid lines can also keep us small, safe, and sheltered.  They make us feel like we cannot veer outside of the box, but at the root, that we cannot fully be ourselves...Where do you hold yourself back?  Where do you limit your fluidity in order to keep yourself safe?  Use these questions as journal prompts.  Then see where you can challenge what comes up beyond your mental perceptions, but rather by how you operate in your space.

People have been messaging me asking me if I’m on some kind of retreat or vacation, for the Airbnb link, etc. I’m not on a retreat or in an Airbnb. I’m here because I’ve been battling mold sickness for nearly two years, and I had a chance to heal. So I blindly came to a new state because I had the opportunity to rent a room in a house that was clear of all allergens, etc. I didn’t save up for months prior or prepare.. I simply got rid of my belongings (for the second time) and left. This wasn’t on a manifestation list. This was out of necessity, for my health and sanity. I don’t have a plan. I’m completely diving into the unknown. There’s so much more.. I’m also here for solitude, for freedom, for the chance to embrace who I am (healing on all levels). This platform can make things seem so glossy and enticing. I value my privacy and wrestled with sharing this, but I also want people to know the truth - because many of us are struggling in some way. The struggle brings us to move through pain, to get to greater truths within ourselves. I followed my inner voice, and while I have no idea what I’m doing, I feel closer to myself than I have in a long time. Follow your inner voice. It always knows.
“This ring is all about the swerve - veering off course to find new adventures.” The Joan ring couldn’t have arrived at a more fitting time.

Pink skies as I drove into the desert and the unknown
Last night I arrived in New Mexico, a foreign place I’ve never been before, in the pitch black. I woke up to the most breathtaking scene as the sun came up this morning. Greenery, lushness, crisp air, and nervous jitters. Closing doors on chapters of my life and old ways of being as I walk through my fears one slightly ajar window at a time...
