the way i roll is to be open to the varieties of inspiration as they move to me and through me. given that these get placed in various places on this site, i figure the best way to record them is to use this blog as a table of contents, of sorts.

  • my August 31, 2015, post-birthday reflection on yet another manifestation of my trifecta, involving space, fluidity and embodiment. this is a valuable integration and response to Brené Brown’s new book and seeing her speak, and the many connections to healing self-identity, and relationships. [this will appear on the integration tab on the self/embodiment page]…
  • speaking of Brené, i did a bibliodip [Amanda Fucking Palmer’s teaching of randomly opening a book to see what lesson appears] with Brené’s new book, Rising Strong, Amanda Palmer’s The Art of Asking, and Elizabeth Lesser’s Broken Open. finding courage and connection amid uncertainty was the teaching. [this will also appear on the integration tab on the self/embodiment page]…
  • a while back a new body worker/friend remarked about my tattoos being potent. i’ve been sitting with this for some time, and finally looked up potent in the dictionary, and found the heavily gendered meaning behind the word. as if potency and potentiality is the domain of the masculine? ironic, and very sad (at best!), given that women are the ones who bring life into the world! [this will appear on the identity tab on the self/gender & sexuality page]…

stay tuned for these works in process…
