Posted on

We all vibrate on certain gradients of energy. The world is spinning and here we are, buoyant with the currents of electric charge all varying in grades of frequency. Like attracts like and we are pulled to one another by this charged beauty, almost unexplained yet completely understood. This is how I feel when I am reached by someone’s writing. They touch me in a way that’s goes beyond the surface and into much deeper crevices of my heart and soul. It’s not every day… Read More

How to Trust Your Intuition

  “Know your food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen.” – Joel Salatin Most Saturday’s I walk over to the farmers market from my house, and even if I don’t buy anything I’m looking for conversation.

  When my mom and step-dad got married I remember as a nine-year old being sad that they were going to leave my sister and I for entire week while on their honeymoon.

The morning after the wedding I begrudgingly came down the stairs… Read More

You’ll Never Know Your Worth

Posted on

Do you get the feeling when you’re overcome with excitement and you can’t sit still, can’t focus, can’t sleep? In these moments I have to remind myself to breathe.
