Nourish Your Magic!

If you have a job, do your best. If you need to, do your best at resting. Make it even better than last time. Enjoy it as much as you can. do things just for pleasure do things for yourself, delight yourself as best you can. talk to your plants. for real, learn their names and commune as best you can. talk to your parents. if you still can, you are lucky, if you can forgive them and ask for forgiveness, even better. If you want help, ask for it as much as you want. If you need something, tell someone, surely someone can point you in the right direction. follow the trail all the way through. go through your mail. look for signs from the universe. collect what you find beautiful, or inspiring. look at/read those often. maybe this is just advice for the lovers of beauty, or all lovers, which means all humanity. m a k e the love last. put on your favorite song dance all one dance together dance on the death of your forever if there comes war, one must fig...

To be  all one  meant to be wholly one, to be in oneness, either essentially or temporarily. That is precisely the goal of solitude, to be all one." Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes describes in  Women Who Run with the Wolves . We are not alone and we never were. All spiritual tex...

Hey everyone, if you're like me, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information bursts about covid-19 AND/or the general sense of panic/advice-giving/speculation etc. I'd like to share a slightly different perspective, in the hopes of offering some calm and grace. Let's all take a deep breath first, together. Inhale (peace) - one...two...three... Exhale (worries) - x....y....z.... If you need to, take another few of those as you appreciate all that is okay or even good about your health, family, and community, and hopefully that can create some space within you. I absolutely agree with and am adhering to all the practical and medical advice. This post is not meant to replace or question those! Please take care of yourself, self-quarantine when necessary, wash your hands, check in on your loved ones and be a good community member locally. Be self-responsive as well as thoughtful about those with increased vulnerability through lower immunity or l...
