Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, This past year, I’ve been learning how to receive. I didn’t realize how difficult that lesson would be. Giving is easy. Receiving? That’s surprisingly hard. So today, I’m sitting with the question of reciprocity. What does it actually look like? What does it feel like in my body, not just… Continue reading Day 5: Waning Gibbous in Libra
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, This journey is a deeply personal one. I’m following a thread within myself that feels tangled... something that needs unraveling, unloosening, and undoing. It feels like holding a delicate piece of jewelry that’s been knotted over time. In those first moments of trying to free it, my hands only seem… Continue reading Day 4: Waning Gibbous in Virgo
Sacred Rose Dear Blossoming Soul, I’m used to rushing.To planning.To being the one who does it all. Because if I don’t do it, no one else will.

And it’s making me feel acutely aware of myself, unexpectedly. Not in a self-love way. Not in a “finally at peace” way. More in the way you feel when someone pulls… Continue reading What to Do With My Arms
This is part of a three-year exploration of the Siren archetype that involves moving from survival to stillness, and finally, to sovereignty. As I re-read my thoughts from Power in Depth, I began to wonder about the mechanics of how we actually stay there safely. What happens when the “middle ground” stops feeling like a… Continue reading Part 2: The Physics of the Rise

Yesterday, an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman. And before anyone rushes to frame this as a shocking escalation, I want to say this plainly: This isn’t new violence.What’s new is the size of the audience.
