Spirit guided pathways
on friendship, love, and gratitude
With the deep summer of July comes a full-bodied feeling of aliveness. The bugs in my ears, the stickiness of sweat on my skin, pesky flies, cold showers, sleeping naked, rejoicing in a billowing window breeze.
I am home after a long weekend in Maryland and Pittsburgh with my two closest and longest friends, who are more like siblings. Time slowed, and my gratitude for them multiplied tenfold.
They’ve been around for over ten years and truly act as markers — mirrors — of how much I’ve (we’ve) grown, of how much I’ve learned to let love into my heart.
I was reflecting with Emma and Kara about how long we’ve known each other, how far we’ve all come, how beautiful life is now. And it’s true — I have a life now that the version of me 10+ years ago would be shocked by. A cultivation of peace, ease, joy, and spirit-guided moments fill my days in a way I wouldn’t have dared to dream about.
Even just a few years ago, I would visit Emma in Pittsburgh, for instance, and dread returning home to my life. But now, it’s all joy.
It’s special to me to have Em and Kar in my life, to mirror back the magic of following desire and truth, even when it’s painful. There is still so much work to be done, and yet my heart is full to the brim when I recognize I have created a spacious, beautiful, magical life for myself.
As much as I loved being on vacation, I just as much loved returning to my life at home, with my partner and my cat and my camper and my yard. If that’s not a marker of my devotion to exuberance, I don’t know what is.
May we all create lives that we’re excited to return to and express endless joy and gratitude to our loved ones that act as soul mirrors.
A note on my offerings 🌀
I currently have some 1:1 coaching sessions open! These sessions are for anyone ready to slow down, move through patterns and stories, get emotionally sober, and return to the truest thing in you. If this resonates, I would love to work with you. Apply here.
I also have a couple of virtual breathwork sessions open! Breathwork is a powerful way to receive deeper clarity, cultivate attention and presence, find embodiment, and touch the parts of you that cannot be understood with language. Book a session here.
