Before I give life over to (gluten-free) fruit cakes and bright lights on this holiday week. An important musing: In the wake of the John of God debacle and integrating experiences that have uprooted my being in the last month…. had me musing on these things. With the rise of the Divine Feminine, and evolution of the […]

how does the feminine feel safe?
Women do not feel safe. That’s not an opinion, it’s a statistic. We do not feel safe, because this has been a dangerous world for us. Dangerous for us to speak out. Dangerous to be vulnerable. Dangerous to be soft. Dangerous to be any of those things in relationship or our career, for fear that […]

Wow. What an intense week. What happened in Charlottesville was domestic terrorism. The wake of it, has most of the country spinning. From where I sit, I see many camps, as I’m sure do you: some people posting online a LOT about it and calling others to step up. Even shaming notable leaders for not […]

Tomorrow I am realizing a 20 year dream and buying a beach/country house. (Woot!!) Although I have been studiously eyeing the market for years, it all happened super quickly: Accepted offer within hours, signed contracts 3 days later, and closing within a month. I have a baby, and BAM: grounding. Long term vision, adulting things I’ve […]

Tomorrow, Election day in the US, is my due date. It’s a running topical joke between friends that these election proceedings have not yet sent me into early labor. We are seeing a LOT of fear and anxiety and anger around this election. Americans are scared and upset with our choices, no doubt. Memes about […]

(This isn’t a post about babies, it’s about fear. And how we are paralyzed by it. And how that fear is basically ruining everything. So, dudes, just please bear with me through the analogy…) Right now I’m a part of several private, global mommy groups on Facebook. The majority of these are huge groups 7k-30k […]

My doula asked me the other day, “What else do you need me to know to create the environment you need for birth?” And she asked in a moment that caught me off guard, so the answer wasn’t sitting at the tip of my tongue. (Unusual for a woman who’s always sharp on tongue and answers. ;)) […]

This past steamy Saturday night, drenching myself in ice cubes in my West Village apartment… (we do not have a/c right now, and if you don’t know it— pregs women have higher body temp than normal… AND we have been in a heat wave in NYC…) I sweatily and lustily wished: I need to be […]

One of the ladies on my— um, birth squad? said something that blasted by awareness open. She was working on my body last week and offered “Call in your angels into the room… Now call in your baby’s angels into the room.” Holy sh** that’s right. Even the mini person I am carrying right now […]

My sister and I have a little game we play when we want to decide which movie we’re going to. Or where we want to go for lunch, or vaca or yoga. We flip a coin. But that’s not the game. The game is, how do we feel when we get the RESULT of […]
