Birthday Love Letter to My Shaman Boy
Life as a mom and a shaman and a business owner can be a whirlwind. Where do the days go? Not to mention the years? How did I get to be a mom, let alone a mom with a child who's old enough for sleepovers? How much have I evolved, and how much do I still knot myself...
Happy Birthing to You
Birthing. To bring new life into this world. Then: it was a beautiful baby boy. Today: it is a new way of navigating this world. Six years ago come Friday I was giving birth to Shaman Boy. It was fast, easy, and intense, bordering on pleasurable. Breath-taking and...

Lean In
Lean in. This phrase has been popping out at me – off of Sheryl Sandberg's book title, magazine articles, videos. Lean in. Lean in to life. Lean in to the discomfort. Lean in to going for what makes me feel truly alive. Lean in to saying yes – or no. Lean in to...
