  • An Observation of the Skies: I Miss the Sun!

    An Observation of the Skies: I Miss the Sun!

    Unfortunately, we’ve had a string of cloudy days here in Brooklyn, NY. If the sun does manage to make an appearance, it’s often behind these hazy, mist-like clouds, which is simply becoming tiring. We need the sun; it is our life force. The sun gives us energy, it brightens our days, and it provides us…

    How Well Are You Balancing Life Right Now?

    Ok y’all, it’s SPOOKY SZN, my most favorite time of year! But, let’s talk about how October has come in with a bang… Mercury in Retrograde has definitely been showing out this month. Look at what happened with the outage in social media and the internet. Our communications were greatly interrupted, and we saw just how…

  • Winter: A Time for Quiet Reflection

    Winter: A Time for Quiet Reflection

    Now that I’m older, I’ve really grown to appreciate winter. To be honest, it also probably helps that I don’t have to commute to work everyday and wear a bunch of layers 🙂 As an empath who needs a lot of solitary time, I also appreciate winter because it’s quieter and fewer people are out.…

  • Birdwatching in Brooklyn; An Act of Mindfulness

    Birdwatching in Brooklyn; An Act of Mindfulness

    As I’ve mentioned in one of my previous posts, birdwatching is a great way to spend time being present in nature. It’s a great way to be present, period. Bird calls are easily and most notably heard in parks, and we often hear common birds like sparrows, pigeons, starlings, robins, and mourning doves in our…

  • Be Healthy and Feed the Energy of the Divine

    Be Healthy and Feed the Energy of the Divine

    “We want to feed the energy of divine perfection that empowers healing rather than feeding the power of illness. What we give energy to, we give life to. What we feed grows.” – Sandra Ingerman, Speaking with Nature – Awakening to the Deep Wisdom of the Earth There is a lot of great insight and…

  • There’s Beauty in Life and Death

    There’s Beauty in Life and Death

    Memento mori,Memento vivere.Remember you must die,Remember you must live. So often we find ourselves living through the mundane in life. We get lost in the annoyances. We forget to be thankful, to be appreciative, to love, and to honor ourselves through our health. We put things off until tomorrow and follow the same patterns. We…

  • I Still Haven’t Accepted the “New Normal,” Have You?

    I Still Haven’t Accepted the “New Normal,” Have You?

    I’ve been off my game lately. My routine has been shaken up, and it’s hard. Doing everything at home just isn’t the same. I miss my routines, my deviations from them, passing by the bakeries, stopping in Chipotle, and definitely going to the gym!! Get Fresh Air — Disconnect from the Internet and Media for…

  • I See the Light But…

    I finally see the sun through the forest. Slivers of light make their way through the dense packing of the trees. A clearing is in the distance. But—there seems to be a magnetic force around me. That’s what it is right? That’s why can’t I step towards the clearing. … what else could be preventing…

  • Own Worst Enemy

    Feelings are just that, feelings. It’s also because of them, that we do the things we do. It’s because of our feelings, our desires for one another, that we hope to execute shared dreams; that we invest and feed each other’s souls. What do we do when it all seems to be in jeopardy? When…
