Today I watched live, as an impassioned Cory Booker make history, and smashed a filibuster record held by a bigoted man from the past. That made my heart swell with a sense of poetic justice. I also began a most excellent puzzling adventure. Tonight I saw Yo Yo Ma, and the LA Phil. Happy April. 🤍
A pile of puzzle pieces are being arranged on a table, the puzzle box stands upright on the same table, as a reference for the build. In the background of the light filled room, a television set is on, showing US Senator Cory Booker during the 25th hour of his filibuster speech. Various large plants and furniture are partially shown between the table and the tv.

Ostara has arrived, ushering in the vernal equinox. I found this little flower growing like a rebel through the grass, with nearby planted blooms all nearby watching on. It felt like an appropriate allegory for these times. I love you rebel friends, please stay strong, stay safe, and keep resisting.

Mood. Anyone else?

I’ve been focusing on my own mental & emotional wellness & safety the last while.

This is all a lot.

I hope you’re feeling supported & cared for if you are also struggling, (or are shifting between feelings of strength & action & quiet resolve.)

Loving you, dear ones.

The Palisade Fire as seen from Santa Monica, California on January 7th, 2025. I suppose the year of the dragon is going out by doing what it does best. 💔 #lafires #staysafe #awakeawaresoul #newyearnewfear
A side by side image. The left side shows a daytime scene of two people standing in a utility pole lined alleyway with their backs to the camera. Both people are looking towards a mountain covered in flames, with dark smoke billowing hundreds of feet in the sky. The right ride shows a nighttime scene of a person standing in a utility pole lined alleyway with their back to the camera. The dark sky is filled with smoke that is illuminated by the flames of the same mountain fire.

There’s been a lot going on & not a lot of feelings of accomplishment coming with the overwhelm.

My favorite take on a buddhist philosophy is this: To support your holistic health, meditate for 20 mins each day. If you’re too busy to meditate for 20 mins, meditate for 60 mins.

A recovery day spent in Carlsbad. Ideas swirl and are captured for future development, gentleness with self is being practiced, tea is being enjoyed, movies are being watched, and one of my favorite kitties sleeps nearby. I am grateful. #awakeawaresoul
A sleeping cat is curled up in a basket on a coffee table in the top left corner. Spiral notebooks, and various reading material are stacked in the mid ground; a ceramic mug decorated with stylized cats is filled with peppermint tea sits on a stone drink coaster, while a heart shaped pinch pot holds the spent tea bag beside it.

It was a lovely creative adventure day at the Getty Center yesterday. I am grateful. #awakeawaresoul
Wispy clouds swirl in high in the sky, while a layer of dense smog drapes over the city of Los Angeles. Autumn trees are to the left, touched by light from the setting sun, birds are flying, and a metal sculpture stands in the middle of some foliage in the garden of the Getty Center.

There’s a sense of satisfaction in draining an ink chamber dry by capturing my words, thoughts, ideas, plans, feelings, poetry, and love letters to the people I adore, as well as to future me. 🤍

This is the second pen to have served my writing this way in the last six weeks. #byhandauthor #writeon
The empty ink chamber of a pen lays across blank lined pages of a notebook.

It was a full on, but lovely weekend full of fabulous friends, interesting events, writing, business planning, kitty cuddles, and picking backyard mandarins. 🥰

I enjoyed a big day of excitement with a favorite adventure friend! We visited the Magick Market in Glendale, attended an amazing restorative yoga flow & sound bath in DTLA, and enjoyed a home cooked meal. I drove 160+ miles, I’m exhausted, but oh so happy. 🥰 #happysunday
A decorated holiday tree sits in the left side of the frame, beyond it is a fireplace mantle, a stack of books, and some crystal singing bowls of various sizes. In the background is a window covered in sheer curtains, diffusing the afternoon sunlight in a lounge area containing a couch and table holding holiday decor.

I enjoyed the night market before the monthly floating sound bath at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood tonight. It’s a beautifully curated event, I look forward to more!
A swimming pool surrounded by deck chairs, and sun umbrellas located in the courtyard of the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood California. A giant poster of the ‘Los Angeles’ magazine featuring singer Benson Boone is featured between the second and third floor balcony’s, and is reflected in the still water of the pool.

Preparing to post Day Two (of Ten) in the Pre-Game Phase of my self discovery project aimed at helping others Find Their Resolve for the up coming new year. I’m writing my morning meditations based on these three cards today: Passion • Reflection • Mystery. What an exciting trio! #awakeawaresoul 💫
A mug with the words “let the adventure begin” is on a table beside a bottle containing a smoothie. The mug has a tea bag tag wrapped around the handle, with the William Shakespeare quote “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” In the foreground, a mobile altar emblazoned with a full moon superimposed with metatrons cube (and a partial view of the business logo comprised of a silhouette of a humming bird flying up through the loop of an infinity symbol) holds three cards selected from The Prism Oracle deck. The cards left to right read: Passion, Reflection, and Mystery.

Today was a day of writing, travel & an Artful Impact talk series event held in the Lifeforce Loft, hosted by the brilliant artist Ekaterina Sky.

A lot of my creative experience is informed & inspired by immersing myself in art felt spaces, with other artists. Tonight was wonderful. I am grateful.
Two chairs are placed under a tall painting with a gold rhombus shape that appears to be emitting energy in the form of red lines that follow the shape of the gold center, with white space between them. There is audio / visual equipment set up to record a podcast.

Have you ever wanted to learn the Jedi mind trick of spoon bending? You don’t need to go into the Matrix to learn, I love sharing this knowledge!

#awakeawaresoul #spoonbending
A multicolored fork and spoon are displayed on a mobile altar emblazoned with a small business logo in the bottom right corner that reads Awake & Aware Soul Journeys, and depicts a silhouette of a hummingbird soaring through an infinity symbol. The altar prominently features a full moon superimposed with the sacred geometry of Metatrons Cube. A multicolored fork and spoon (this time the same utensils from the accompanying photo have been bent in half through the powers of the spoon benders mind), are displayed on a mobile altar emblazoned with a small business logo in the bottom right corner that reads Awake & Aware Soul Journeys, and depicts a silhouette of a hummingbird soaring through an infinity symbol. The altar prominently features a full moon superimposed with the sacred geometry of Metatrons Cube.

It was a field trip / artist’s date day to a fun Japanese import store to pick up some items that will boost & bolster my daily creative writing and business planning endeavors.

How did you get creative today?

These are my four main daily use notebooks (+a metal file folder that holds loose leaf paper that’s been removed from my notebooks to make room for greater clarity & conciseness.)

When you are doing your best to write on the road, (and you’re an old school pen and paper kinda being) - a backpack full of notebooks becomes a constant companion. Did you get creative today? ✨✍️✨

Imagine contains an open backpack holding a collection of multiple notebooks, of various sizes. The word “SUPER” appears on a smaller coil notebook in the foreground, and the words “Examine • Evaluate • Educate” as well as “What is your Relationship to…” are handwritten on a larger open notebook in the background.

It's time to get active here, and what a perfect night to do so - under this beautiful November full moon...

Watch in the coming days and weeks for a reintroduction to my upcoming book Toxic Tendencies: How to Recognize Them, Heal From Them, and Stop Attracting Them in Others.
