Rooted Arts

I had an incredible time, last weekend, attending the Breath, Body, and Sound retreat.

I got the continuing education credits I needed, but really that was just a lovely bonus. The true gifts that I'm carrying with me are the restoration of my system and the beautiful connections I made.

My heart feels full and I am so very grateful.

I wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful retreat for anyone looking for a restorative weekend or for massage therapists looking for wonderful CEs.

I love me. I love you. I love us. 💖

Listening to the complex symphony of birds, insects, frogs, wind, people, and the river of cars that flows through my suburban food forest, I look around and see beauty, balance, and opportunities for shaping, nurturing, and guiding my land into the vision I have in my heart.

And so too do I feel my way through today, Juneteenth, in the middle of Pride month.

I remember our history of colonization, enslavement, subjugation, torture. I remember all of the progress that has been made and all of the freedoms that have been won. I see all of the fear and harm that is happening in our world today. I see the fascists attempting to claim our country, remove our freedoms, and destroy the very environment that allows us to live and to thrive.

And also I see the beauty and kindness between strangers, neighbors, friends, and families. I see the inspiring acts of people speaking out, growing gardens to feed each other, extending helping hands, and turning out to vote.

History shows us that together, we the people are unstoppable. Let us stand united for freedom, justice, equity, love and a better future for us all.

Wishing you a happy Juneteenth and sending you all my love.

I am so grateful for all of my kind and understanding clients. 💖

Heading out of the treatment room after my first session, I heard the sound of a lot of water running, and found out that my toilet's tank had cracked somehow.

Thank you to everyone who rescheduled appointments, lent me an ear, or gave me advice. 🎁

Instead of the day I expected, my day turned into a quest of seeking solutions, knowledge, and (ultimately) learning how to install a toilet.

I am so grateful to be able to open back up tomorrow. I am grateful to have a new skill. And I'm grateful for all of the opportunities I had to pour love into myself along the way.

Knowing for anyone who feels called to claim it - that any bumps in our days lead to increased self-love and cathartic feelings of deep peace and accomplishment.

I love me. I love you. I love us. 💞

We are often struck by the beauty of the transitions and changes that nature offers in our daily vistas. Sunset reflecting off of the clouds feels an easy experience to appreciate.

Though it is not always as obvious, there is always beauty in change. A lesson to learn, a mindset to shift, a new feeling to explore.

Over the last month, I've moved through the changes inherent in reopening my home studio. I am so grateful to be working for myself again, with incredible clients. And getting into this new rhythm has been its own process.

As is my reflective way, this transition has brought my mind to exploring the experience of integrating change.

Please join me at 6:30pm tonight on YouTube with for the latest episode of Actualizing Your Authentic Self - Integrating Change.
