Thoughts..

Lately I feel really drawn to working on my writing more than anything else. Things have been feeling different for me since I went to Japan. I used to be primarily focused on growing my business.

I adore helping people so when my business clients from the past come to me, I am happy to help them. But for months I haven’t been promoting many of my services as I have done in the past.

To be honest I have had some experiences which feel heavy. Years of them. Running a business can be dif...

Tarot: Page of Wands & Rising from the Ashes

Here’s this month’s Tarot interpretation, from my upcoming book on the Tarot. This message covers where we are at this month from the New Moon as we move into September’s Full Moon. The effects may last a few weeks longer as well.

My readings tend to build on each other so you may also want to refer to the message from the last few months. June: 2 of Wands. July: The Magician.

First, take a moment to pause and breathe. Are you open to insight?

 Set your intention to feel how you want ...

The Healing & Beauty of Sunsets

I have teachers who tell me that an important part of healing trauma is to flood your body with pleasure and the things that feel good–but for a long time this was a hard thing for me to really feel all the way down. The thing that brings me back to it is the sunset.

When I was growing up, I was lucky to have a grandmother who would take stacks and stacks of photos. Often in every stack, there were several photos of sunsets, where she tried to capture the beauty in a shot but it never ful...

Book: Freedom Year is Available

I’m happy to announce that my book “Freedom Year: How Trying to be a Dominatrix (and Failing) Changed my Life” is now available for sale and preorder on Amazon!

It’s taken me 8 years, maybe more, to write my book. I’m so excited. It’s really happening! The ebook version will be available on my birthday August 8th, when I will turn 33. You can preorder it here. Or if you’d like to have a physical copy, you can order that here.

The relief I have felt this week has been extraordinary. I ...

Book: Freedom Year is Coming Out Soon!

I know many people are proponents of the kind of book you can write in a weekend, but this was never going to be that way. This book has required so much soul searching, so much facing my fears and judgements, so much pain and trauma healing!

And in the end, I’m truly satisfied with the book even if you can always edit just a little bit more.

I want to share this story with the people who will get it and enjoy it, but most of all it’s a present to myself.

To me, as I turn 33 on Aug...

Recent Inspirations

​*The past few months I’ve been listening to Sarah Jarosz (left) and her newly released songs from ​World on the Ground over and over. In the last year I’ve been writing more songs that tell a story like “Tides”, rather than just being about inner feelings, myself.

I really enjoyed this article by Sarah Jarosz on writing her latest album and her point of view on this sort of song-writing. She feels like a soul sister, like me, she dropped everything during COVID-19 and spent the months w...

Returning After a Year Abroad in Japan

​This post is an update from my journey to Japan written July 7th.

I’ve just touched down last night. The flight from Japan was long but not as bad as I’d expected. Everyone respected the rules of social distancing and mask wearing.

To return is surreal. Did I leave? Outside my parents house so much has changed but they set it up for me to quarantine alone here and much inside has stayed the same.

At the same time, I have changed. And I’m glad that I have, but I have to integrate. ...

Creative Process: Decide it’s Happening

This post is from my travels in Japan in June!

Sometimes when the moment is right, I decide things. I won’t know how, but I will decide something will be created, sometimes by a certain day. And when it magically happens, I smile.

It’s happened many times already.

Recently I saw this cute Pikachu in a second-hand shop with a witch hat on it. It cost about $5. It’s perfect for me. It is too big to put in a suitcase and I am supposed to return to America in July, but my boyfriend An...

Make Your Mark: Following Inspiration

As far as I am concerned, the pursuit of inspiration is my religion. It is a religion, the rule is: LIVE. Just do it!

You don’t always know where you will find it but follow it, even if it’s weird or unusual. There is something to be discovered under every odd rock you turn. ^^

I’m happy to be inspired, even if I’m away from my loverboy in Japan. I have my projects. I have my people in America. I have my purpose.

I wanted to share things about politics in honor of those who have bee...
