ORIGINAL POST JUNE 2022 I love watching patterns emerge over time. When you look back over ten, fifteen, or even thirty years and take a wide-angle view of your life, you can start to see not only how you showed up in the world, but how events themselves seemed to steer you in certain directions.…

Original Post October 2022 When I was younger—though I can’t remember exactly when—I took a Myers-Briggs assessment and typed as an ISTJ. At the time, it made sense. I was analytical, practical, and largely disconnected from my feelings and intuition. That description fit how I operated in the world then, so I accepted it without…

Original Post October 2022 It has been a few months since I learned that I am a Manifestor. I’ve joined several Facebook groups for Manifestors in general and women Manifestors in particular, and while the support is genuine, the information is surprisingly thin.

Original Post Nov 2022 I woke up early this morning to try to see the lunar eclipse. At the peak of the eclipse, the clouds covered the moon completely, and I wasn’t able to see it at all. About an hour later, though, the clouds moved on, and the moon emerged fully, unobstructed, and luminous.…

Original Post July 2023 It’s interesting that our parents choose our names based on what resonates with them. Sometimes they think carefully about meanings and qualities they hope their child will embody. Other times, the name simply feels right. Of course, parents have to choose a name before they have any real sense of a…

Original Post July 2023 I was introduced to the Love Languages when my children were young. At the time, I was already deep into personality typing through the Enneagram and the DISC model, and I was fascinated by how differently people experience connection. Even then, it seemed obvious to me that if two people are…

Original Post November 2023 My relationship with Human Design has continued, but over time I fell more deeply into the Gene Keys. As I’ve embraced a more feminine, receptive way of understanding myself, I’ve been drawn to Richard Rudd’s language—less mechanical, more compassionate, more forgiving of the human experience. One thing I noticed almost immediately:…

Original Post June, 2025 For a while now, I’ve felt like I’m living inside a pressure cooker. Not the kind that explodes randomly, but the kind that builds—slowly, predictably—until movement becomes inevitable. Looking back, the biggest turning points of my life didn’t come from careful planning. They came from a perfect storm of internal forces…

When I turned fifty, I decided to learn to read sheet music and play the piano. I started from absolute zero—I didn’t even know where middle C was. I set myself a clear goal: to sight-read and play Moonlight Sonata before I stopped lessons. In the beginning, I used the simplified sheet music with letters…
