That’s a wrap!!!!

Recording for our new album is complete. Holy s**t. We ripped the space time continuum again to completely capture the magic of these songs and humans. So full. So grateful. Wow wow wow.

Thank you thank you thank you.

Much is afoot.

Last Flow + Restore tonight. In just a few short hours I close the chapter on my regular restorative offerings. It’s been an incredible time developing with you all. Getting to bring my guitar and sing you into rest has proven very nourishing. When we can integrate parts of ourselves it can feel like we are waking up to who we are. My understanding of Yoga is this is what it is all about. Showing up authentically and with our values.

I will be offering a new WEEKLY lunchtime class starting WEDNESDAY APRIL 8, 12:15pm at .room.hamont focused on fun, playful, energetic, mindful movement that helps to disrupt our body and minds systemically ingrained obedience. I can’t wait to start this with you.

Saying goodbye is nostalgic and exciting because while one door closes another inevitably opens. I feel so grateful to this community and all who have harvested with their presence. It’s been an honour to guide you through the vulnerability of rest.

Than you and see you tonight 🧡🌷💛

Part 2
What’s in your old notebooks?
It’s fun to stumble upon yourself that maybe you forgot. I think I forget about lots of parts of myself on the regs. I have many interests and things that bring me joy.

It filled me up today to see myself reflected back in doodles I made over 13 years ago. Made me like myself more. A lifetime is filled with so many moments we can’t possibly remember them all and memory is a fickle thing.

Thanks past me for making physical art that down the road has now boosted me up and reminded me who I am.

Anyone want to start a ?

What’s in your old notebooks?

Been feeling nostalgic as the equinox approaches. Here’s one from my past that I still love. I think one of the reasons I loved the album Come Away With Me so much when it came out, was because the songs sat so wonderfully in my own voice. They still do.

It’s a common thing I like to remind my students the importance of. It’s so necessary to choose music that fills us up and don’t be afraid to change the key.

When we sing a song that feels good to sing it’s magic. When we sing songs together we sync more than our voices. This too is magic.

What are your favourite songs to sing?

Finally feeling slightly more myself again after being absolutely decimated by sickness. Still have a cough, mucus in my lungs and lingering wheeze. This illness not only physically decimated me it super charged grief and depression.

Ever since Bodie (my beloved cat and familiar) left I come to look out our back window. It’s a ritual of sorts where I Iook for him and remember him in his favourite spots. Because he’s been gone for over 6 months now our backyard has been reclaimed by so many birds. I’m so grateful for their presence. I feel so lucky they choose to be around. The squirrels too give me so much and on warm days can be spotted racing, chasing and playing with each other. This land is magic and I’ve always been able to feel that despite living in a busy city.

Another thing in this space that truly inspires me and fills me up are the remainder of things from when this was my kiddos room. On the wall I had put up postcards purchased years ago in Mexico City, by Remedios Varo. I fell in love with the whimsical, mystical and haunting style. When Fen saw them for the first time years ago they promptly named them. I thought it was so cool they did this because it was completely their own idea and showed such beautiful unfiltered creative thinking.

To this day they remember the titles they gave the paintings…their memory is off the charts. Today I share them with you as this window into a young mind and the joy it brings me.

As I type this out I keep looking at my three mourning Dove pals sun bathing amongst the dry leaves and then a Cooper’s hawk flew over head. The Junkos are fliting around picking at the ground and barely stop moving. The other day a cardinal looked like they were crawling through the grape vines.

If you are in a similar boat feeling just done in, know my heart goes out to you and I am sending you love. If you can, find a bird and simply watch them. I promise it will help. It might not change or fix things, but remember there’s magic still. Thank them for appearing to you. They’re such special beings.

If you are around children, encourage their creativity. Let them remind you of your own and be curious what excites them.

The uptick I’ve noticed in small dick jokes and fat shaming is angering. Making fun of p***s size isn’t funny and it’s not cute. It’s harmful. If you want to attack this system and the awful men controlling it, this is not the way to go…please stop.

When we resort to body shaming s**tty human beings we don’t harm them, we harm each other and perpetuate the very system we are trying to critique.

Do you understand how deeply p***s shame affects people? No one should be made to feel ashamed of their body parts. There’s nothing wrong with a small p***s and no one deserves to feel insecure about their genitalia. It is unacceptable in 2026 to attack people’s bodies in these ways.

If you’re angry and I fu***ng hope that you are, choose wiser ways to call these horrible men on their violence. When we resort to body shaming them we only fulfill their agenda and harm each other. It’s nasty work when we play out their sick fantasy of domination.

Please choose better.

Mums wisdom. I’ve been missing her and Bodie so much this past week or so. Grief can be such a beast of a teacher. Sometimes it comes with deeper understanding and sometimes it simply comes with forever flowing inexplainable tears. I’ve become more accustomed to letting it move, but damn.

This time of year has me hankering for the Suns magic. This morning on my bus ride I looked for everywhere the sun touched with its morning embrace. Here’s your reminder to slow down and bask in the beauty of this world. Whenever you can, choose to pay attention to the little things that make life worth living…the things that fill you up with sensations of connection and belonging.

I love you Sun and am so grateful for your presence.
