Something happened to me after my last post. Something clicked. I’ve got to chuckle because, after all this time—after having ceased exploring my femininity many months ago and setting my sights on what I considered vastly different horizons—I find myself here. Writing a post titled, “Of the Sacred Feminine.” It’s funny how projects like this [...]

Kind of Woman
I spent most of yesterday afternoon reflecting on my previous post, in which I proposed to institute a series of small, but valuable, changes in my daily life. To be more in sync with myself, truer to my own inner urgings and desires. I didn’t expect to publish another post on this topic so soon, [...]
Faux
This post is formatted to reflect an original journal entry. 1/19/19 A cozily dreary Saturday.

Finished Huxley’s The [...]

After a long day, I find it’s best to reconnect by writing longhand in a notebook. Reading Maslow and listening to some newly acquired vinyl. My mind is teeming with thoughts: First, self-actualization [...]
Free Form
This post is formatted to reflect an original journal entry. 12/23/18 Spent most of the day reading. And writing in between spurts of cookie-making. Ricotta cookies. Nothing tastes more like Christmas. Except maybe my aunt’s lasagna, a big slice of ham, and a glass of the Dago Red that was bottled in the neighbor’s basement. [...]
