it’s not a burnout it’s burning within kept by muzzling sizzling and seething holding tight and in the actions, or lack thereof, others void of truth hushed by payout, viewership and use she’s been quiet long enough her words clear with reveal they shake like quake, awakening integrity intact for it’s the only currency she holds what she thought burnout was instead a wild, fiery burning within for truth to be unmasked she waits in patience settling for nothing less #writewithme #writewhatsreal #writeclubnow #saywhatsreal #writingonthewall #holywomanhood #writeyourheartout #womenrising #holyandwholly https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJS4Y9BHWo/?igshid=1dsajxohqqqx8

wunderkammer perhaps the only truth that exists is curiosity, by nature curiosity for curiosity’s sake because once we know some-thing we’ve begun to wrap our experiences emotions and perceptions to the truth it then takes on a another life form, meddled and molded to fit the boards of our own needy story we are both selfish and social, by nature a walking contradiction in seeking truths, even if the purity of such no longer exists #writewhatsreal #writingbynature #writewithme #threetruths #holywomanhood #writingprompts #writeandflow #writeclubnow #wunderkammer (at Kyburz, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAY94amhhHz/?igshid=34co3n78af5u

I deleted over 7,000 photos and videos on my phone. I kept the ones that make me happy, grateful, or just plain laugh. This photo is from 2013. It was one of the starts to my #holymotherhood series (like holy sh*t, not the other kind of holy even though there’s a lot of that kind of holy on the hashtag now). It’s all holy, I suppose. This photo makes me happy because motherhood is like this sometimes: white knuckling my morning coffee while this one swoops in like a leaping tornado. It’s also very sweet too. Like the kind of sweetness that says, “let’s climb back in bed and snuggle awhile.” I feel grateful to not be a mom of a toddler. For me, those were some of the hardest years to parent. Now, B can make his own breakfast and pack his own lunch. At age 8, he’s in this fun, curious stage of ease. Often schooling me on math and science and stars and planets. He’s still just as snuggly, only 60 pounds or so heavier. Like all those photos I’ve kept, I have held on to many things that no longer exist. Stories. Drama. Memories. And trauma. I know many of my hang-ups and hard truths. And I’ll not be surprised when more bubbles to surface. There’s always work to either stay on tread and let on or ride new surf and let go. Even if that means clearing out some composition and characters in frame. #holywomanhood #writeclubnow #writewhatsreal #writeyourheartout #thisismyyoga #yogamama #letgoletin #parentsbelike #holyandwholly https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VcE89hsa-/?igshid=1c2gk0df82f3n

It has occurred to me that I don’t need Botox, I need more 90 minute massages in my life. No lie. I feel the pressure to not age, stay young and fresh like a baby’s fat rolls. An impossible standard to live up to, really. I’m creating a new aim: to look and feel relaxed, like I woke up from a nap or a long Nidra session. I’m going to remind myself that aging gracefully is about being relaxed on the inside and results may vary on the outside. Owning it. #holywomanhood #holymotherhood #aginggracefully #bodyloving #writeclubnow #writewhatsreal #baliretreat (at Ubud, Bali, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B41CTw4h7qZ/?igshid=158xszeek18r8

What we treat passively will always remain on idle. Don’t be surprised when you find yourself on loop of patterns of meeting the same people and experiences with different names and stations. It takes effort to step up and out of your own way. You’ll need discipline as your middle name to show up when you don’t want to. Say the hard things. And act on your own behalf. Much like our yoga practice. Whether treated casually or a priority. Same goes for our relationships. Tasks. Jobs. Etc. Focus is life. It matters where we are paying attention and to whom. Notice when you need to let go of bullsh!t, you’ll have to act and not sit back passively hoping sh!t will change. Hope is meaningless without action. If you want to change your life, you’ll need to challenge it. Rewire your mindset and get off your a$$. Every damn day. #notesfrommyjournal #theyouisme #writeclubnow #thisismyyoga #yogamama #holywomanhood #holymotherhood #yogaisawayoflife #yogatidbits https://www.instagram.com/p/B4X4EZfBNvr/?igshid=1c6kspb21udwr
