last weekend i was at a comedy show. the comic stood up and said “let’s face it san luis obispo, everyone in this room is white.” he was the second comic in a row to address the “all white audience.” erased. just like that. i’m white (just like everyone else in this room.) i’m white. […]
I’ve been asked a handful of times recently to explain polyamory. This looks different for everyone so I can only speak from my experience. For me, polyamory is more about who I am regardless of whom I’m dating or our particular relationship agreements. I love people profoundly and effortlessly. I’m on the planet to find, […]
“Can we create a space where folks can show up, they can hate their body, not be at peace or at ease and still be welcome? Can the dark parts of people, the self loathing parts of people, the shameful parts of people be welcome and not feel like the price of admission is peace […]

This Body Is Not a Problem to be Fixed This body is an ancient galactic explosion – composed of hydrogen, flesh, carbon, superannuated stars, grit and sweat and tenderness. This body shared ten and a half months with God. It held a small forming creature within my womb while the rest of me […]
Just after yoga, I took a moment to climb thru an open window to meet all of life just beyond the boundaries of the studio walls. All of the elements were there. I took a moment to climb thru the opening of my breath to meet all of my Self, just beyond the boundaries of […]
“out there” is an illusion. the microcosm is a reflection of the macrocosm. there is nothing that exists within your body that does not exist in the world. there is nothing in the world that does not exist within your body. <3 lover, killer, rapist, artist, reverend, healer, fool… i am that. as are you. […]
waves of grief, joy, sadness, solidity, gratitude, despair, celebration… i traveled solo to moonstone beach to give myself space to fully feel the pain of separation and say goodbye to my friend matthew. as i lit a candle and burned some sage, the winds picked up and a gentle rain began to fall. i sang […]
earlier today i was thinking of a man i’ve loved deeply since the day we met. today is his birthday and even after all this time, i don’t love him any less than the instant i melted into loving him completely. for a moment it felt bittersweet, as if he was “the love of my […]
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love & affection. ~ Buddha February is such a delicious opportunity to dive […]
Under the veil of night, Post-it love messages and poetry rocks adorn random doorsteps to be found in the morning by unknown residents. Another evening, a dear friend & I thoroughly enjoyed slinking into the drama section of a neighborhood video store to leave this gift behind. Since Aug. 5th I’ve been on a personal 40 Day Journey and each day I am taking […]
Oh life – you got my heart so deeply today. I get to ride the waves of my woman-heart: sensitive, feeling, tender, receptive and deep. Remembering those I love that have passed, loved ones that are distant, the years, youth and memories that are behind me now… Waining moon, as you become new, you so […]
This made me laugh. The uninsured motorist who slammed into my car and gave me two forms of fake insurance is now filing an injury and vehicle damage claim against me thru my insurance company. Hahahahahaha! I really feel for him. On some level I feel angered by this and have a desire for more […]
Before and after. Ahhh, feels so much sweeter… My inner response to the driver who was uninsured and provided two forms of false insurance after plowing into my car: I am calling in the support I need to fix this. My insurance does not cover my car but I am holding hands with the universe […]
(Yes, I did spell Turmeric incorrectly on my bulk self-labeled spice jar. On Purpose. What?) Last month I got into a minor car accident. After the accident, I was experiencing a fair bit of discomfort along the left side of my neck and tension in the muscles under my left scapula. Enter Golden Turmeric Ambrosia of the gods! I’ve been drinking this […]
I was pregnant with my love child just weeks after September 11th. I remember protesting US government violence in the middle east with a swollen belly and a broken heart. I’ve often wondered about the “American” children en utero at that time. How was it for them to grow cells, develop organs, to feel the […]
