Happy Wednesday! This summer I started reading a book called Eastern Body, Western Mind. The book details psychological human development with the chakra system. It is one of my all time favorite books. I had to stop reading because of the depth of it’s truth. This weekend, I reopened the book and started to re-read the chapter on…

Wisdom Wednesday # 67 – A Father’s Wish
Father’s Day was this weekend. When mothers day or fathers day or holidays in relation to family come up, I feel the need to tread lightly. Not everyone has grown up in a loving home or to loving parents or guardians. I do not want to exclude anyone and I sometimes do not write during these events. Visions of absent…
Mindful Monday #113 – Illusions Among Us
My niece is curious. She likes to explore every aspect of the environment. She is accustomed to staring at everyone in the family. Her stares aren’t that of judgement, it’s just observation and examination. As I held my niece she stared at me. I told her to always pay attention to peoples faces, because they tell you everything you need to know. (Tune…

Mindful Monday #103 – You ARE LOVE
It’s Monday! I officially wrapped my most recent movie on Thursday (2/18). That movie was an adventure and demanding to the very end.

Tune Tuesday #25 – Everyone Wants to Be Loved
For the Month of February I set the intention to meditate on LOVE. I want to sit in the essence of love so it can teach me beyond what I have experienced and been socialized to believe. I want to learn what I don’t know that I don’t know. Typically when we think of love, we think of…

A Place Called Home
This weekend was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL and by far the best weekend of 2016. I loved every bit of it. In the past three months, I have only been in Los Angeles for 12 days, which has provided so much perspective on every aspect of my life. Living on location for a month has helped me…
Wisdom Wednesday #57 – Starved for Connection
“Babies get the most amount of touch, while the elderly get the least.” Ever since I heard that stat in college, it stuck with me. As a young girl, I remember feeling sympathetic towards the elderly that I saw in the community and at church who were alone. As a very, young girl I was…

This is my fourth week home with my family. I came home to spend time with my new niece for her first Halloween and I stayed longer because I was very ill. Now that I am better, I am still here because the holidays are here and my family needs me at this time. I…
