Beauty is essential to our core, not extra. When much of our house of cards crumble, we turn to the eternal.

Pleasure is this. Always.

Only mystery allows us to live, only mystery.

A journey down the rabbit hole comes with no map.

The moment creates the instructions with the depth of your being.

As each day progresses…

Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.

A time of radical change calls for radical self-care.

The Corona Virus has jolted the old normal. It’s a time…

Many of us will not contract the corona virus.

However, all our lives are being greatly impacted by the mass change as a result of the virus. A lot of what is to come is still unknown. It’s ok to feel waves of panic and fear. It’s…
