I think we conveniently forget about the alchemy that naturally happens in the artistic process.
The inherent push and pull.
The way we are asked to squeeze creation out of nothingness.

To allow enough spaciousness and breath for the contractions to pass without gripping too hard.
To stay in witnessing of what we are giving birth to in real time.

Not unlike the birthing process itself.
Devastating and beautiful.
Painful and holy.

A reckoning with who we think we are, and how we show up in the midst of challenge, unimaginable tension, and uncertainty.

And the irony is this:
We don’t have to work so hard to make anything happen.

We are the pressure cooker.
The force that has the capacity to transform coal into diamonds, ashes into wildflowers, and heartbreak into hope.

Against all odds, we keep coming back.
Having the courage to try again, regardless of how many times we get burned.

How beautiful we are.
How true.
How honest.
How utterly, unexplainably, and magically human.

Something I’ve noticed:

It doesn’t have to be “good” to make an impact.

People will always choose truth over polish.
Authenticity over perfection.
Being moved over being impressed.

If you have the courage to touch truth,
you have the power to touch other people’s souls
in the places they didn’t even know were sleeping.

❤️🔥🙏🏼

Some of the most mind blowing s**t you’ll ever say
won’t resonate because of the words you use,
but because of how you use them.

It’s wild how much wisdom there is in simplicity.

The thing about words is that they’re felt.
And when you can make someone feel something,
you’ve learned how to reach beyond the page
and touch their soul.

This is your reminder to stop trying so hard.
Trust the simplicity of what wants to be expressed through you.

When you stop forcing it,
your genius finally has room to breathe
and share itself with ease.

Something magical happens when we create the space to soften and grow quiet enough to listen for what’s beneath the surface.

Creativity doesn’t arise through force, but through allowing what’s already present to exist and naturally express itself.

The invitation is to court our creativity as if it were a lover we long to delight in, taking the time to truly get to know.

We don’t project our fantasies or beliefs about what or who our muse should be.

We allow our muse to show us who they are, revealing themselves layer by nuanced layer.

We become achingly present in our noticing of what’s emerging, creating safety for what has longed to be heard and expressed to finally have a voice and to be fully received without judgment.

We relax our grip and simply let go long enough to allow our consciousness to flow in the way it has most deeply longed to: free, unbound, and wholly itself.

Hey beautiful humans,

First off, I wanted to thank all of you who reached out with birthday wishes and appreciation.

It always makes me feel warm and fuzzy to know that I’m thought of and appreciated by so many magical souls.

I had a very mellow birthday “week,” celebrating with old friends and new amidst a luxurious day of hot springs, a very summery, gluten-free, dairy-free (no refined sugar, of course) strawberry cake, and meals at my favorite Asian fusion and Mediterranean restaurants.

Birthdays can sometimes feel very tender for me—a time of spiraling inward to reflect and integrate.

It felt like a gift to gently let go of expectations while inviting others to join me in festivities that matched my pace (slow) and honored my needs for rest and recharge.

These past 36 years were quite a wild ride, to say the least: beautiful, devastating, awe-inspiring, heart broken open again and again—the kind of living that brings you to your knees with the sheer joy and grief of it all.

A kind of living that is exquisitely messy and yet artfully sucks the marrow and juice out of every experience possible.

I feel grateful for the gift of every moment and for the continued adventures ahead.

May this next year be one of exquisite listening, rooting deep and wide, and gentle becoming.

Enjoy some pics below, and cheers to a graceful entry into year 37.

Big hugs,
Sandra 🎂💖

We can make art and create in so many different ways.

Your art doesn’t need a paintbrush, writing implement, or a blank page.

Art can be the way you move through the world, the way you express yourself, how you dress, how you light up a room when you laugh, the trails of tears that create a glistening pattern on your cheek, the way you moan with pleasure when you taste something that delights your tastebuds, the way you savor a sunset and the moments when it’s most quiet.

I think we often forget that life is our art. The way we live is the masterpiece. I know I certainly can.

And when we look back on our lives, it won’t be one specific piece we created that stands out, but the masterpiece of moments that create a constellation of a life only we could live.

A life that is wholly ours.

A life that couldn’t exist without us.

A life that is a continuous gift because it offers us the opportunity to become intimate with all that we are in every moment.

If there was ever a life worth showing up for. It’s be this one and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

There is a strange phenomenon that occurs when a nightmare becomes realized when the thing you’ve been working so hard to avoid finally comes to pass.

All of the angst, endless effort, and energy you’ve allocated to avoiding the pain suddenly has no place to go. The focal point of your attention becomes untethered. The person, place, or thing that felt so essential to your well-being or survival and held so much importance in your life is no longer occupying the same space in your life.

The irony of this phenomenon is that our worst fears coming to pass also have the opportunity to become the portals to our deepest freedom if we allow them to be.

When we work so hard to hold on and have no option but to let go we find ourselves within a wilderness of unknowns. We become blank canvas, un-molded clay, a compass without a map.

All of this space suddenly opens up to feel what’s truly here, to sense who we are without the person or thing we’ve been organizing ourselves around for so long.

Initially, it might feel like a crisis of identity, a death or dying. We might feel lost like we don’t know who we are without it or them. We might long for the safety of belonging, the reassurance that all is not lost, that we aren’t lost.

Human to human, I want you to know that it’s okay to feel lost. And as much as you might feel like it right now, you aren’t alone.

It’s okay to feel scared, and like you don’t know what to do. It’s okay to fall apart, to cry, scream, rage, and grieve because when we experience a life-altering loss, it’s so normal and human to feel lost.

You get to give yourself time and space to feel your way through to the bottom and weather this storm. There is no rush, as much as you might want to rush your way through the crucible of feeling everything you were working so hard not to feel.

The greatest gift you could offer yourself during this time is deep compassion and permission to be exactly where you are.

We’ve all heard it before, a variation of something like:

“There’s no light without the darkness.”

Light cannot exist without the dark, in the same way that the dark has the quality of illuminating what we have yet to see clearly if we have the courage to let it show us what we’ve been afraid to acknowledge.

When we learn to dance with our darkness, we are making the commitment to reclaim what we once disowned or disconnected from because we didn’t feel worthy or lovable.

In that process of embracing and reclaiming what was once lost within the wounding, all those fragmented pieces begin to reknit themselves within the fabric of our being.

As we re-integrate these parts of ourselves, we begin to rest within wholeness that we already are.

We can’t help but shine so brightly because we’ve learned to welcome these aspects of ourselves home that never had a safe place to call their own.

We are no longer trying to dim our light or try to hide under the cover of our own darkness.

By learning to embrace ourselves just as we are, we have unlocked our capacity to become shadow dancers.

Welcome home to 2025.

Sending big love to all of you who are willingly drinking the bittersweet truth medicine, courageously embracing their deeper knowing, and walking yourself home as you dance into greater alignment with all that you are.

I am your biggest cheer leader, hype woman, and supporter and couldn’t be more proud of you.

It’s been an intense, wild, and painfully beautiful journey and you keep showing up.

I’m honored to walk along side you.

We’ve got each other and we most certainly got this!

Pausing and slowing down is a rebellious act in a society that demands that we constantly “do,” to feel worthy.

How do you find your exhale?

What do you do to come back into intimacy with yourself and the resonance of your deepest truth?

What brings you back to yourself when the volume of life has become so loud that it drowns out your own voice?

This is your medicine and the way to rediscover what has always been eternally home.

This is so my medicine for this moment and really a daily practice.

As collective intensity increases and the volume feels like it’s being turned up on our lives, our first impulse might be to rush to keep up or move faster to avoid the overwhelm, dis-ease, or discomfort we are feeling.

It’s in these moments, we need ourselves the most, to turn towards when we’d rather run away and meet with profound gentleness and compassion what’s asking to be felt.

In the meeting of what’s here, confusion has the opportunity to turn towards clarity and our awareness can more easily discern the pulse of our present moment alignment.

In the slow down, we can more easily feel and in the feeling of the unfelt we create natural space that enhances our capacity to listen and clearly hear what is being expressed.

If you are ever feeling a little lost or overloaded by what’s happening, remember you already have the medicine within you.

Although your inner compass might feel like it’s going a bit haywire and it might feel challenging to know which direction to go, trust that the path forward will become clear in the slow down.

Invite yourself to pause until you can feel the pulse of your alignment beating in symphony with your aliveness.

And then, with clear intention and deep connection to your truth in this moment, fluidly move into expression and embodied action.

So much love to you during these eclipse times and beyond 🤗🙏🏼✨🌘🌒
