I’m beneath the purple twinkle lights sipping coffee while wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with a skeleton sitting in a crescent moon…drinking coffee.
A few nights ago, I sat in the trees with friends and drank hibiscus tea.
It is the season of mugs and herbs and skulls, but still warm enough that the summer people are still wearing their summer clothes.
The liminal season before the fall.
Read MoreIt’s gloomy and wet here today as Ida’s remnants reach us, but I don’t mind gloomy.
I spent fourteen hours in bed yesterday. I somehow injured my back and the pain was so severe it caused me to become nauseated. I’m better this morning, but not 100 percent, so I’m doing a lot of deep breathing.
I’m not entirely surprised my month is ending this way. I have felt so depleted - mentally, physically, emotionally exhausted, and time has sped up! Hasn’t it? Does anyone else feel like it’s going by super fast?
Read MoreWe are born into this world as pure essence.
If we could see the wholeness of our being, we would see that we are spheres of light.
We know who we are because we are nothing but who we are and who we are is love.

Wrapping my dog’s medication in soft bread.
Remembering all of the earlier versions of myself with respect and fondness.
Deep night, the dome of stars, locating Venus in the sky.
Read MoreThe moon is new and l wouldn’t mind crawling into a cool, cozy little underground cave and sleeping for a while.
I find myself wondering, how long will life continue to be this intense?
Is this intensity going to continue for the rest of my life?
Can I learn to be at peace in it?
Read MoreWe call the moon full when she is the brightest in the sky. When she is full, she illuminates.
When you are full, you illuminate.
The moon is now full in Aquarius, and since my sun and moon are both in Aquarius, I feel particularly lit up by this lunar phase, particularly illuminated.
According to the astrologers I follow, this full moon is highlighting the energies of late December 2020, meaning something that was originally seeded in late December is rising up or coming forward or blooming into being.
Read MoreNo matter what it is I’m doing to earn money, no matter what my daily schedule looks like, no matter what’s taking up the majority of my time and energy - if you ask me what I am, I will say, I am an artist.
It’s a little bit of a loaded word, isn’t it?
Read MoreI live in a humid climate and don’t typically love the buzzing heavy heat of summer. Midsummer, I’m usually hiding out indoors.
This year, however, I have found I crave the sun on my skin. I find moments to sit beneath the sun, and it’s as if I’m downloading healing energy - pure golden bliss - into my cells.
I need this healing.
Read MoreI am stardust living beneath a dome of stars.
I watch the movement of the sun and the moon and see patterns in the sky, rolling, turning, speaking.
I remember that everything is energy; the Holy Spirit moves through everything.
There is only oneness.
Read MoreThe more fresh air I breathe, the more balanced I am.
The more I listen to the trees, my hand against the bark, the more I understand about being alive.
