>rude awakenings: trading the small for the All

>If there’s anyone out there that doesn’t want to believe things are a changin’, they are in for a bit of a rude awakening.

>I realized this today. I. Am. Going. To. Be. Enlightened. Like, in this life. Like, soon. Holy shit. And for those of you that think that comment is blasphemous, well it’s not.

>the weekend of woo extreme: my modern day Gethsemane

>I have been so energetic and happy for the last two months, I think for sure there’ve been times that I uber-annoyed my facebook friend list with too too exclamation-y posts. My body has been walking around vibrating like a thousand trapped butterflies within the sheath of my skin, fluttering to be free. 5 ½ […]

>the step by step guide to finding your guru

>Step #1: Wait. That’s it. That’s the guide. Just the one step. Makes for an efficient, although not very enlightening blogpost, so let me expand on that idea. I had a most delicious synchronicity this past week. In the awesomeness that is facebook, (I know some people pooh pooh the ol’ FB but man I […]
