Through Thick and Thin

Take your relationship to new frontiers often. Travel, discover new ways to surprise each other, dress differently, speak differently, dance together, learn a language and NEVER GIVE UP on the new that can be created in your sacred union.

In a world of fast-paced, quick fixes and short term gratification, we are quick to throw away our relationships when they ‘get tough’. Yes, relationships have us by dates, however… Many expire too early! And we miss the chance to grow. And many can survive and thrive if we are willing to do the work and show up, especially if there is a foundation of trust, respect and connection.

We forget the importance of effort in relationship. We also dismiss the equal power of novelty and stability in our loving interactions. I spent so much time in the past focused on ‘looking good’ in the relationship that I forget to pay attention to creating substance in the relationship.

I ask you this… When was the last time you truly asked a deep question of your beloved? When was the last time you really felt the essence of their truth and needs? Sacred union requires a deep attentive practice of willingness.

To get the most from any experience we must feel fully who we are in the world. We must love ourselves to the extent that the want to experience that love with others. In order to flourish in union, we must be willing to shatter old paradigms of belief that no longer serve our newly forged path.

Are you willing to create a life of endless possibility? Can you embrace the challenges as you embrace the joy? Can you continue to show up even if your ego is pulling you away? Our wounding dictates so much of how we experience intimacy.

When we see and feel beyond our wounding and realize that our beloved is there to help us grow both consciously and unconsciously, we experience a level of connection and intimacy that is truly liberating and supportive. The challenge then is welcomed because we have committed to grow in togetherness.

Let your beloved know you are with them through thick and thin!

One is glad to be of service.

Loss – Wholeness – Love

What is loss? Does loss even exist or is it all semantics – a game of words used to describe what we truly do not understand? Can we explain love, loss, gain, pain, and growth? Perhaps we cannot fully explain these notions…

We All Have Stories

We all have stories… We all have a past. Most of our pasts are less lopsided than we think.

Amidst the chaos, confusion and the volatility exists a place where there is at the least; some peace. My past and childhood at large weren’t pretty… Many of us share similar pasts.

The Art of Holding Space: Navigating Trauma with Compassion and Strength

In the delicate dance of healing, trauma survivors often harbor a deep fear of overwhelming their supporters, fearing their pain might be ‘too much.’ Helpers must embody empathy and strength, offering a safe haven for healing without being engulfed by the trauma narrative. This dynamic fosters trust, allowing survivors to confront and move beyond their shame, while helpers must navigate their own journeys of pain to truly empathize and support. In this shared vulnerability, a profound connection emerges, blurring the lines between helper and survivor, and transforming the journey into a unified path of healing.

The Tragedy Of Not Sacrificing

Sacrificing or ‘to sacrifice’ often receives a ‘bad wrap’. Why even sacrifice what we value? Perhaps the experience is not worthy of our immersion and embodiment, our attention and energy? Why place ourselves in a position where we may perceive ourselves to be ‘losing’…?

The Importance Of Emptiness

THE FEMININE thrives in being full. THE MASCULINE in emptiness. When the masculine feels threatened it pursues in excess the feeling of emptiness through controlling force. Shadow masculine energy is forcing the feminine to be empty – empty of nutrients in the ocean, clean drinking water wells, mountains stripped of their minerals and the feminine having her voice emptied and taken from her being… We are currently in an excessive collective shadow expression of masculinity.
