Almost There and Even Closer
I am 22 and a half today. Why does that matter? I think maybe I figured I would be further along. But in what way? I don't know. Some way. Any way. I reach for a concrete answer and come up with empty suppositions. Almost There This full moon in Leo has brought up a...
Where I Am Right Now: February 2022
Something I’m really loving about this year is all the new beginnings. New Year’s Day. New moons. Different projects. Freshly fallen snow and purple sunrises. New experiences and connections and joys. Elaborate plans. Another level of healing. New recipes! And it’s...
