Last week, I treated myself to a personal writing Last week, I treated myself to a personal writing retreat on a whim. With less than a week before my second semester of grad school started, I dropped everything, cleared my schedule, and headed to the ocean. I didn’t even really tell anyone. I stayed up most of the night listening to waves crashing, pouring my heart out onto the page. I waited for fear, loneliness, codependency to creep in, but for the most part, I held myself in wholeness - no television or social media to numb or distract me from truly being alone with myself. In the morning, I ran along the coast and did a ritual of release; I wrote these words, the Ho’oponopopo prayer, in the sand as a gesture to those that had hurt me, those I had hurt, as well as to myself. I let forgiveness wash over me, then I let the icy, Pacific waves do the same. 

Then, I came home to all the news I had missed while retreating inward, the terror of the Capitol Hill insurrection last Wednesday. Forgiveness, which I had cultivated and offered freely, suddenly seemed out of reach. I’m still working on it, while processing rage, heartache, and more grief. While last week was about releasing, clearing out lingering bits of 2020, the new moon in Capricorn is all about rebirth. Hope you’ll join me at my weekly mindful writing group tomorrow 5:30pm pst, as we take a closer look at this theme - and perhaps dip our toes into the waters of forgiveness. 🌚🌊 #linkinbio
I’m coming out of my creativity cave, poking my I’m coming out of my creativity cave, poking my head out of my social media hibernation, to say writing group is on tonight – and it will be a special, Saraswati-themed class! Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of creativity, communication, intuition, and so much more that I cannot wait to dive into. She is seen here carved in an ancient cave in India, behind my amazing teacher @hannah__muse, who first introduced me to this form of Goddess in Bali on a retreat exploring the Divine Feminine, and me. I can’t wait to share some of her story with you – we’ll meet at our regular time, 5:30pm PST, and the link to register is in my bio. 🦚

I also want to express deep bows of gratitude to the incredible womxn that joined @ilanaingber and I for our exploration of #TheArtistsWay. We connected with our inner Saraswatis for 12 weeks, and I’m so inspired by not only the beauty and art they created but their courage and vulnerability as well. I’ll share more on that journey soon, but in the meantime: Ilana and I want to continue this journey and open up our creativity container! Starting in January, we’ll be offering “Date to Create,” an art-making (in any form) support group on Fridays! This will be a 6-week series for $60. You can also find the details for that at my #linkinbio. 

What's inspiring you today?

Why wait till Thanksgiving to express gratitude? We’re inspired by the students at LMU and at universities all over the country who are learning on virtual campuses right now and giving it their all. We’re also grateful for the incredible people working behind the scenes to keep life and classes flowing like the professors, coaches, staff, SA, public safety, and the administration offices all doing their best. We see you and honor you. Thx for your extra efforts. 😷🦁🙏💗✨

Tonight, it dawned on me I could share the abundance (that is, the abundance of candy I may or may not have bought marked down 70% after Halloween). 😋 #omgamganapatayenamaha

No one turned away because of lack of funds. And know that if you can afford to pay more than the suggested donation, it will support a fellow writer that might be facing financial hardship. Thank you for your generosity and willingness to show up for yourself + others. See you tonight! ✨✨ {link to donate in bio}
