After 20 yrs of studying human behavior, I’ve found the research to be clear. To initiate sustainable change, hope and possibility must be key ingredients. Chronic fear and despair eventually create hopelessness which leads to apathy & shut-down. Focus on small steps, & solutions.

I absolutely love talking to, texting, & being with my friends. But my instinct is to live life on a perpetual solo dive into my own depth of consciousness. I have to work at it.

3 x she tried to land on me during my morning hike. She was not agitated, just gently hovered. I thought maybe one of her family was in trouble, so I asked her to show me how to help. But no…she just wanted me to fly with her. We are all interconnected.

Fighting a fierce internal battle to stay deeply connected to my Why. I lost the rest of the world yesterday as I immersed myself in the Red Rock wilderness of the Jemez Pueblo sacred lands.

My husband and I have been taking what I’m calling “listening walks” after dark. We walk in blackness listening for owls, coyotes, or who knows what else. It’s a way to sharpen our senses, and let the stresses of the day go. It’s a moody experience and I’m loving it.

Advice for thriving as an HSP:
1.) Study the trait
2.) Strong boundaries
3.) Though the tendency for overstimulation is to shut down, the key to energizing your life is to learn to ‘open’.
4.) Emotional Regulation
5.) Nature
7.) Somatic tools

I fucking hate being afraid of things. I’m honestly afraid of so much, which always astonishes the people who know me. I was the kid who entered the abandoned, haunted house because my own fear pissed me off.

Everything you’re experiencing is fuel.
No experience is wasted.
Frustrations, failures, dead-ends, blocked energy, pain, confusion…it’s all asking you to learn more about yourself, accept yourself, see your life with new eyes—even through the tears…

Meet the love of my life, Zemra! He’s covered in heart-shaped black spots. He also has a Feb bday! Friends thought I should name him Val, Valentine, or Valentino but I thought that was too on-the-nose. But Zemra means ‘heart’ in Albanian. So…he’s got a covert 🖤 name.

Nature to me is psychology. Because most collective societal pathology, in my opinion, stems from or is exacerbated by our disconnection from nature.
