27 SEP 2020 · Today’s episode is a remembrance and affirmation offering to the nuclear family and friends of Breonna Taylor and to the collective family, specifically my Black, Nubian sisters. This reading and song offering was my way of processing my feelings, of grounding, and, tending to myself immediately after the ruling on September 23rd. It was and is my medicine. Know that this offering is an invitation of which you can choose to partake or not. I just wanted to share and offer to the collective as we continue to experience and walk in this long, arduous journey.

3 JAN 2020 · Today’s episode is a brief talk and guided meditation on New Year’s Day 2020. “To make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”T.S. Eliot With time, age and just simply living, terms like New Year’s Resolution or New Year, New Me no longer resonate. While these terms come from a place of good intention, it can become easy to minimize the lessons and progress of the past. It can become easy to dismiss the full narratives and ongoing journeys of what makes us individually who we are, as divinely created, imperfectly, rich complex beautiful souls. As we have arrived in 2020, consider this - a continuation of honoring through living that the beauty of time has been gifted. With the gift of time, there is opportunity for a continuation A continuation of more. A continuation of less. A continuation of discovery. A continuation of onward. A continuation of unfolding. A continuation of healing. A continuation of transition. A continuation of progress. A continuation of transformation. This is offering is in honor of the setting of 2019 and the welcoming in of the rising of 2020.
