Writing and Repping in St Croix!!

Finishing up a week with my creative doula who is supporting the labor and delivery of several long awaited projects. This photo was taken as I was nearing the end of 12 total hours of being deep in process - working through her garden that has 7 sculptures (assigned by chakras), 9 times (for each Fruit of the Spirit). I created stations for myself within the garden. It was in fact at times grueling in the sun (thankful for the pool and the tan) and my feet were tired as I was barefoot. Made me so thankful for my body by the end of the night when I was finally lotioning up and preparing for rest. I had sweet mild tears at the last station on my last round as my understanding had deepened in the practice. I had several thoughts that I didn’t need to do this this way, I could stop and just power through it at a desk but I would get excited by remembering two of the later stations that had the high view of the sea and horizon and had exercises that were consistently presenting the type of insight or validations you want from this type of work. I am so excited for this project and to share it with you all.

When I was preparing for class the other night, I was led to the word hilarotes—the Greek term used in New Testament writings for cheerfulness.

Bible translators note that hilarotes implies a heart that laughs and eyes that dance.

I’ve always cued a soft smile in yoga. It softens the whole disposition of the body. On Monday, I invited that same spirit into restorative practice—with just a gentle swaying of the eyes.

But here’s what struck me: so many folks afterward said how true it is that we don’t often let ourselves feel cheerful.

So—this is your invitation.
Let your heart have a little chuckle today.
Go look at something with a bit of wonder.
Let your eyes twinkle.

Let yourself feel hilarotes. ✨

✨ Ever feel depleted? Tossed about? Confused? Judgmental? Sorry for yourself?

✨ Those are great reminders to come present in the hard emotion and reorient your life using as a clue

✨ You may have been ignoring hard emotion for so long that you haven’t been creating with it

This memory of reading A Christmas Tree Story with friends is giving me life today as I work on my 2025 project. Creating is literally life-giving ✨❤️

This is me in Palm Springs 2023 when the writing project of the year started to build heat and take shape. In the fall, I realized it was an audio book - rented a room in a new studio Om Old Orchard to start recording - got COVID immediately and completely lost my voice well into December. A few months later, I ended up purchasing OM from a previous owner. Tomorrow, I start my annual reading of the Psalms in alignment with Thanksgiving and, as Psalm 1 is the inspiration behind the writing project, it feels like a potent day for the project!! Here's hoping we have something for distribution this year!!! ⭐️🍎🌳🪄

Working to get the spirit moving and decided to look at some notes from previous retreat participants (now friends)… officially feeling “the stir” of tomorrow’s message. Hope to see you there and if you can’t make it, light a candle - reach out - say a prayer for the hearts and minds meeting tomorrow ❤️🌺✌🏼

Within two minutes of this woman, I knew to press record. This is a sermon from the Love Life Women's Conference held in Tampa just last week, Oct 2018. I had tears flowing down my cheeks the entire m
