God Chose Me

Thank you 2012

So here we are at the end of yet another year. 2012 was a strength builder for sure! This year in my own life I experienced incredible moments of self pride and self worth as well as moments of complete humility. My heart was filled with unbelievable pain and heartache as well as an overwhelming and abundant feeling of love. In the world people seemed to be pushed to to brink of strength and survival. From the natural disasters that destroyed people's way of living to unspeakable tragedies that tore apart families & communities. This world was pushed.

Throughout it all, I knew, I was blessed and loved and supported and no matter what, just fine.
What I also wad amazed to see in the world was the human spirit at work at the highest vibration. From 14 year old activist, Malala Yousufzai who was shot for wanting to learn to hurricane Sandy taking out whole communities, to the stupid amounts of people being killed on streets of Chicago and the tragic deaths of Newtown to the young girls being raped in India. People banded together to protest, rebuild, pray, cry, raise money, raise awareness, heal and so forth etc...

So as I am sitting in my home, I am
overwhelmed by the blessings the universe has heaped upon my whole life. God chose me to be born of parents who chose to leave their homes to raise me in a country filled with every kind of convenience and abundance. God blessed me with a mother that worked incredibly hard to give me a safe and enriched existence. God chose me to be healthy mind body and spirit. God chose me to survive all of my dangerous mistakes unscathed, God chose me to give birth to an amazing child who is healthy. God chose me live in a time and space where I can express myself freely, live my life how I see fit, love whom I choose to love. God chose me...so when I look back on 2012, thank you God for choosing me to not have to live through some of the atrocities that many of my fellow beings are surviving through now. Thank you for choosing me to live yet another year of such a blessed life. Cheers to 2013!

THE SKIN I'M IN...

NYC-Embracing & Letting Go of This Skin  I 've  been desperately holding on to old shedding skins.  Skin that has puckered and worn out.  Skin that is snug in all the wrong places and increasingly more and more uncomfortable.  Skin that no longer serves me and is completely unrecognizable.  Skin that I've been terrified to let go of and allow to decompose because the new just felt/feels terrifying.  The new feels/felt so different.  I'm not even sure how to wear it or even approach this skin.  What part of me do I dress/address first...Do I start with putting it on from my head or my feet?  Or do I put it on like a front button down dress with at least 100 buttons that need attention?  I'm not sure how to wear this new skin.  I'm not sure how to approach this new skin,  so I've isolated myself more  than ever.  I've hid myself away but I find myself seeking to connect and be held; be in spaces with more than just me & this ill-fitting version of myse

Dear Single Mama!

The Early Years of Figuring It Out! You got this!   Yes, YOU GOT THIS!   I know you’re wrapping presents solo.   I know you might be feeling guilt because you couldn’t afford all the spoils for your babe(s).   I know you’re possibly pushing through some unhealed traumas, negative balances, uncertainty, exhaustion & being the safe space AKA emotional punching bag for said babes…whom you are also wracking your brain trying to figure out how to give them the world & keep them shielded from the perils of that same world including your ish…What am I saying?   You’re keeping your spinning plates going!   You’ve come so far!   Remember when you didn’t have right in this moment (job, an apartment, safety, a couple of extra dollars, food, new furniture, new friends, new love, school, accomplishments…) YOU have come so far!   YOU have done your very best to keep the fruit of your womb safe & supported.   So take a moment to honor yourself as you figure out how to make duct tape look

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, With Love...

Dear moms, I have just had a lovely Mother's Day. My son lovingly woke me up this morning with this single rose, bear and card. He followed that up with the deepest hug and a slew of "why I am so lucky to have you as my mom" sweet nothings. I was done. My heart was bursting. He even blogged about it...Seriously He loves me unconditionally, wow! He loves me with every part of who he is and it is so beautiful and real. So why am I going on and on about this uninhibited show of affection from my child? I guess because I don't have this kind of love for myself. Yes, over the years, I've learned to "love me," but am still working on being in love with me. Loving me with zero inhibitions, blindly and completely unconditional. The big blessing of this day is that I am one of the lucky ones. Besides the obvious roof over my head, food in my belly, employment, internet, free will etc..., I get to be told everyday that I am loved. I get to look into my
