Abundance and The Serviceberry

Abundance. Reciprocity. Circle of Giving. Gift Economy. Relationship. Community. Nature teaches us that this is the way. We live in a circle of giving. Each of us. Creation gives freely of herself, giving her gifts away in exchange for your gifts. Gifts of gratitude, gifts of caring and nurturing the land and her creatures. Reciprocity.…

Many Moons

Dear Friends and Family, It has been many moons since I have been fully present in the space. Perhaps lifetimes, in so many ways. So much has changed, and yet I remain. Children grow older, they spread their wings and fly onward. Mountains are climbed, wildfires consume that which is unexpected, and sometimes, it’s just…

Begin

I took the plunge and began. Right where I am. Begin. This is where I start. The first step off the edge is the hardest. The cold plunge shakes you awake, heart beating, blood pumping wildly, lungs gasping for more. Oh, but the awake. The alive. To the bone a l i v e. All…

Reflections

There is something to be said about the crystalline clarity of -35 degrees in Northern Minnesota winter. The air is piercing, cuts to the heart of the matter direct. It also simplifies life, as you really weigh in on what is absolutely necessary for the rhythm of the day. It calls you to review…

All Paths Lead Back to Home

Snow collects in icy corners round the edges of the window panes on these blessed old windows. The cold radiates off glass penetrating the contrasting warmth of the house as they duel hot against cold, there are moments in the subzero that I’m not sure who has won the battle. Drifts billow wave like through…

A Letter to My Son(s)

Dear Wild Heart, Please do not think that just because you are growing up means giving up on who you are. Your truth. Your essence. The light of who you were created to be. Please do not misunderstand, that becoming a man requires you to harden your heart. The truth is instead, manhood…

Listen to the written word become spoken in my own voice, in the player above. Feel the vibration of the holy undoing, the birthing, the becoming… Silent No More Silence. Silence speaks nothing. Or it says everything. Silence separates. Silence divides. Silence is deadly. Silence from a white skinned woman speaks of compliance. There comes…

It’s been a while folks. Oh where to begin…. I sit here before a quietly blinking cursor, and swear I will not curse, myself. Just breathe and begin, there is no wrong answer. My silence here is reflective of my process. I am nothing if not authentic, and I write from a heartfelt space. Some…

Breathe. Expand. Hold. Moving into stillness requires presence, attention, and grace. Deep fall prepares our hearts and bodies, guiding us within, expanding our attention as daylight gives way to shadow. Winter holds us steady wrapped in woolens and frosty arms of it’s sheer depth and fortitude. The season calls for quiet. For hibernation. For healing.…

An Instrument of Peace

Last night’s soft blanket of snow envelops the earth in loving warmth as dawn comes slowly this morning, shaking the cobwebs loose as I endure the wait for the kettle to whistle it’s shrill signal that coffee will soon be here. Chilled hands wrapped around a hot mug provide the comfort that my soul needs…

The brutally honest truth is this: Ugly Muffins happen. There are good muffin days when everything comes out from the oven Pinterest- worthy, and then there are the days when the promise of a new recipe idea falls a bit flat in the middle, hence the ugly muffin. Hmmm. Most of the time, the ugly…

Perpetual Jar of Iced Tea

The rooster crows indignant of the stifling heat and humidity that is already billowing in through open windows of the old farm house. He seems to be daring the day into being, his mighty crow a lusty, bring it on dare. I, on the other hand, am not feeling so bold this morning, longing for…

Breathe in the cool sweetness of early morning air, as I am quietly coaching myself back to center, back to the breath, and back to home. Filling the handmade artisan mug for maybe the 20th time this morning, from a fresh pot of rich black coffee, I take to outside into the softness of…

Wendy

Knowing Woman, lover, friend. Moon child, Mother, healer, midwife, servant to both life and death; offering myself the opportunity for rebirth. And so when I forget, all I need do is look inward, offer my open heart and hands as I remember that I belong, a wanted granddaughter of the moon, a needed woman, a worthy woman, a called to service woman, asked to step into my True Self, honor my truth, my lineage, my courage, my heart, remembering fully who I am.
