Y’all, I’m in my fluffy cat era right now. I’m sorry—I realize that you’re like, “What?” What I mean is that I’m taking inspiration from my geriatric cat George recently. He’s a fat, fluffy, unfazed-by-life cat who just sleeps a lot. He’s not in a hurry to get anywhere. He’s not trying to accomplish anything.Continue reading “My Fluffy Cat Era”

Lighter
I took a mini break from my business the last couple of weeks. I didn’t scurry off to somewhere topical or vacation-y. I just stayed home—so I could rest, reflect, and breathe. I didn’t realize how much I needed it until after letting my body be heavy and unhurried for a couple of days. IContinue reading “Lighter”
My Story
In my early 30s, I had two seemingly unrelated but very painful experiences that changed the course of my life. In the first downfall that spanned about a year, I entered into a depressive state with suicidal ideation. It felt sudden and unwarranted. I was six years into my dream career living in a beautifulContinue reading “My Story”
Divine Timing
One year ago I initiated a Worker’s Compensation claim due to moderate, unrelenting pain in my right arm from a repetitive motion injury using the computer in my job. I had just returned from a romantic trip to Hawaii with my beloved sweetheart, and I was enjoying an excitement for life, opportunities, and abundance thatContinue reading “Divine Timing”
Finding Pleasure in a World of Plight
Just as the pandemic was beginning to sink into a lull over here in the U.S., the weight of the world somehow got heavier. I don’t need to recount the tragedies we’re all reading about in the news each day—I’m here to remind you that our expansion of self and soul are still important. OurContinue reading “Finding Pleasure in a World of Plight”
Imagining Pain
A couple months ago I had a significant breakthrough in overcoming my chronic pain which has affected various parts of my body off and on for about 10 years. I was fed up with the medical establishment. I’ve wasted thousands of dollars on specialists who only treat the symptoms and never provide lasting solutions. ThereContinue reading “Imagining Pain”
The Nervous System Knows
As a highly sensitive woman, I have learned to develop an appreciation and understanding of my nervous system. I thought I had already hit the gold mine of wisdom a number of years ago, but just when I thought I knew everything there is to know about my body’s command center, the universe handed meContinue reading “The Nervous System Knows”
Rest Re-examined
What is rest? I dictate today’s post from underneath a 25-pound weighted blanket. My cat who rests on top of me adds an additional 10 pounds. Prior to last year, I would’ve given a very different response to the question of what fits the definition of rest. Having worked at universities for over seven yearsContinue reading “Rest Re-examined”
Let’s Play
Please note how happy I look in the above photo–I grinned so hard that my right dimple made an appearance after being MIA for most of 2021. But first, let’s cover the shitty stuff… About 2021. It did not go as planned. I can hardly find the words to describe how off the rails itContinue reading “Let’s Play”
I’m Still Here
My injuries have kept me from my blog these past few weeks. It doesn’t get easier putting your life on hold as you wait to heal. That being said, a couple weeks ago I started to feel a shift in my recovery. Finally, I believe I am in the upward trajectory after many months ofContinue reading “I’m Still Here”
