The Power of Soul Healing (with Yin & Yang in moderation)
My relationship with my body was not always easy for me to understand. And I’m curious as to how others relate to their bodies too.
Whether I wear heels or trainers though, the bottom line is:
I am a woman.
This past week I heard it at a much deeper level – like a mantra – and felt more drawn to honour it, in my own way.
Yesterday presented an amazing opportunity to show myself the real power of a woman (alright, so as not to upset the boys – the power of a human being in tune with self) based on...
The Power of a Woman and a Brand New Day {Not Your Typical Gay Post}
I don’t generally wave flags about my sexual orientation because for me being gay is just one part of who I am as a whole human being.
But today I’m making an exception for reasons that go under the hood of societal labels. In fact, this is more about being a woman than about sexual orientation.
I respect those who feel drawn to talk more prominently about their sexual preferences, although I prefer to offer my experiential insights in a different way to inspire deeper personal awareness. Like...

One of “those” people…
During a recent conversation with a friend who I don’t see that often, she confessed that she was, “Doing yoga but not really talking much about it, because I don’t want to be one of those people who talks about it all the time.”
Whilst time was short and we didn’t delve into what that really meant or what drew her to this practice, her apprehension around revealing this aspect of her personal evolution triggered my curiosity. I sensed a fear of judgment, and perhaps loss of individuality.
I th...

Stick With Me, Kid…
I’ve spent most of my life working “behind the scenes” on other people’s projects. Every now and then I would step into the limelight, but it was usually a cameo appearance. I’m generally the guardian, you might say, of other people’s treasures and gifts to the world (does that sound presumptuous? …meh).
Since I fully stepped into my writer’s shoes (I opted for 5 inch heels to make writing feel rock star sexy), I’ve felt a shift in terms of who I choose to work with, and who Universe is presen...

For The Love of Your Life
I’m sharing this deeply personal experience that I call my “Titanic moment” as a reminder of what can happen when you ignore your inner guidance (or “~ing”). May my story serve you to get back on track if you’ve strayed.
What you need to know about me first
I fell in love with Canada a few years ago and decided to follow my heart there, leaving my life in Spain as I knew it. I cashed in sunshine for the rich rainforests of Vancouver. We often outgrow the place where we were born. Then we find a...

Owl’s Well That Ends With a Hoot
So Niki Owl and I went to school… more specifically, toLockwood Elementary School in LA to read excerpts from “Leap of Faith” to the kids in honour of Dr Seuss Day.
It was a hoot.
Considering this was my first official reading of my book to kids (for whom I had originally written the book), I have to admit I was a little unsure of what would happen, but I swooped right in and suffice to say, owl’s well that ends with a hoot!
The kids were so focused during the book reading, and so quick to ask i...

The SEO Girl {A Story of Personal Optimisation}
As those who know me will tell you, I’m the nurturing kind, and what I do has allowed me to help people in many ways so far. Though somehow, it started from the outside in…
Once Upon a Time in Spain
I’ve spent about 14 years of my life in the web industry. I fell into my career out of boredom in my late teens, and after picking up a book about web design that my brother had bought but never used, I told myself, “I can do this, it looks like fun!”
It started me on my path of web development in an...

This Change In Gears May Cause Miracles
This morning was exceptional. It was raining in LA, which means most people won’t drive and if they do it’s with greater levels of insecurity. I walked into my bank and the girl behind the counter, with whom I’ve had some great conversations lately, told me that on rainy days she either expects it to be really quiet, or it’s only the very important clients who make the effort to come in. I felt kinda special about that.
On my way home, I bumped into the homeless gentleman (because he is a gent...

(re)Solution
{includes a free story for you}
Just as I believe that we all can resolve to give our lives new meaning anywhere and anytime, I also believe in the collective energy that we all can benefit from on specific dates, like New Year. We gather to give ourselves the opportunity to effect obvious change in our lives, and to somehow hold one another accountable for these resolutions. They could be calls for help, simple affirmations or just seeking another check-in buddy for the sake of new perspectiv...
