I remember. I know you do too. That moment, that very moment of small quiet magic; I knew. So did you. This was nothing of the ordinary, yet had always been. Surreal, yet unquestionable. An infliction point one can’t go back from. As certain as the sky looked upon us, With vast shades of blue….
I hope for many things but mostly…
I hope you find a love that’s easy. Really easy. The type of love where there aren’t any mixed signals, just you and this person looking at each other and knowing there isn’t anything that can shake it. I hope you find a love that’s selfless. The type of person who would do anything for…
Carrying the past can get heavy, put it down.
Despite how open, peaceful and loving you attempt to be, people can only meet you, as deeply as they’ve met themselves. -Kahn. I love this quote. We often feel when people don’t treat us in a loving way or can’t meet us where we are, that we often feel there’s something wrong with us. Likely…
Find me
When you’re ready to dive deeper. When you’re done with games. When you’re done chasing temporary things. When you’re done holding onto the past. When you’re not afraid to be vulnerable. When you’re brave to show me your scars. When you’re ready to reveal the ones you caused. When you’re seeking the truth. When you’re…
Will power

Religion can offer a sense of peace and community, and even some pretty fun holidays. Seriously, have you ever been to Lutheran church basement gathering? The lard filled tasty…
Tis the season
Giving and receiving are part of the same cycle, and we each give and receive in our own ways. But we can lose our balance when we try to be too controlling on either side of the cycle. On the receiving end, we may feel that we don’t deserve the effort made if what we…
Autumn transit
October is my favorite time of year because the cool, crisp weather reinvigorates in a multitude of ways. I find myself constantly drawn towards the extraordinarily deep blue of the sky that seems so vividly crystal clear. Nature seems somehow more enhanced with the depth of colors richer, sharper, as if there is a quickening…

Software upgrades
Again I find myself in a place of transition, upheaval and off course. (See “Turbulance”) The past 6 months have been a blur and in that I have noticed a weakness in my spirit. One day I just slept. Like I’ve told my patients, if you dont take time to rest, your body will do…
