Adventure awaits.

My birthday view next week. 55 is a milestone birthday and I wanted it to feel like something special. Rented an Airbnb in one of my favorite coastal towns, Little River.

This gem is nestled on 10 Acres, has a breathtaking view of the redwoods, hot tub, and two decks to enjoy morning coffee from..

My friend from NY is flying out Thursday evening to join me in celebrating. A city guy who's never experienced nature of any kind. A man willing to fly out, for me 🥰.

We'll spend Friday evening touring the redwoods via rail bikes! A moonlight adventure, one that I've been hoping to experience for quite a while now. ✨️. The powered bikes take you out to a barn in a secluded area, for smores, games, and music.

Things aligned and I'm trusting the process. Mercury Retrograde is still in Pisces until my birthday 3/20 and the past couple of days I've been in all the past feels 😭

7 days and counting.
Surrendering until then.
More will be revealed.

Happy Friday!

Step #5

'We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.'

This is where I come when I need to settle the unruly dialog churning in my mind. The tug-o-war conversations my inner critic likes to participate in battles the space of truth at times and it's here at this beach that I let it all unfold.

When work Step #5, we deeply lean into vulnerability by choosing someone to share our findings from Step #4, the moral inventory. It can be paralyzing to think of opening up that raw with another human being.

We start with God (or Higher Power of choice). If we've defined a forgiving higher power, it flows with some ease.

We then move onto ourselves. Having an honest inner dialog, one that is no judgemental as best as it can be, with loving eyes, and surrendering to the process.

When we make the final effort to share with another human being, it's usually our Sponsor that takes that seat of listening. At this point we've exchanged similarities between our journeys and it's with that trust that we open up a little more in Step 5.

This process is so important, because as we grow and evolve we learn that we can have difficult conversations without running away. We can lend a compassionate ear to others and ourselves when the ego tries to override any truth.

Always evolving.
Always honest.
Always willing.

Faith over fear.

I had the pleasure last night of watching my son in his element. Regardless of what genre of music you like or resonates with you, there is something about watching an artist or group of them, collectively unite on stage.

The vulnerability it takes to put oneself stage in front of others where judgements may occur, where internal pressure can arise, and where there is some undeniable faith that takes place is I think what pulls many of us in.

We live in a world grasping at how to connect with each other and music is one of those ways.

I know the world may seem divided at the moment amd some.of us are living in a lot of fear. I'm encouraging you to strengthen your faith - whatever that looks like for you. Allow it to connect you with moments like these music goers last night.

put on a great show last night. They're on tour, so catch them where you can!

Bridging the gap.

There is a space within us all between control and surrender. It's where we softly linger and reflect on what step to take next. It's the space where we can Let go & Let God with EASE.

About a week ago Inhad a huge flare up with my RLS. I was pushing the limits for my body. After peeling back some layers, here's what I discovered:

🪬 My body is my body.
🪬 Although my RLS can be a challenge and really uncomfortable, ot shows me where I'm holding.
🪬 Recovery has taught me over and over to surrender, a practice that can still be difficult yo accept.
🪬 My word for 2026 is BALANCE not FORCE.

I realized in order to find balance, physically and emotionally- something needed to give. Trusting my solution: letting go of my home studio classes. My reality is that it never formed into my vision, at the same time my journey has changed.

The very next day I was awarded the additional session at the Treatment Centers ✨️

Nothing was forced.

Where can you lessen your grip today?
What needs to be let go of today find more balance?

The year of the Fire Horse is already showing me how to move into the flow 🙏

Monday morning reflection 💕

The shift is happening! Just over a week ago I started the Claiming Your Power workshop material from and TODAY the first nugget of manifestation landed in my lap 🙌

I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.
I am grateful for those like Spirit Daughter that remind us to KEEP DIGGING into the work.

This is just the beginning of the Firehorse season and I'm heading in the right direction ✨️. We just entered into Pisces ♓️ season and soon will have Mercury Retrograde in the sign if ♓️. It may still not be a smooth ride, but at least I know I'm riding in the right chariot this time 😀

(Hopefully this video doesn't get cut off 😌)

Removing self-doubt, moving forward still with fear - that's normal. Allowing fear to keep us stuck only limits our ability to grow and evolve. Pain with a purpose 🙏

Unbelievable night of music, heartfelt to the core on this one 'Fires' by

It took me back to moments of the past with my karmic lover, the moments when we'd just hold each other and breathe together after having some time apart. Precious unforgotten time.

Thank you for reminding me I don't have to forget those moments. That they get stored just like trauma and can resurface through hearing songs like this. We can move on but still feel the intensity. And that a heart can break and be mended with a memory at the same time. ✨️

Safe travels 🙏

We made a searching and FEARLESS moral inventory of ourselves. STEP #4

This is the beginning of the hardest work when doing the steps in recovery. It's where many chose to stop doing the work and sometimes relapse. So what does it exactly mean?

A searching inventory asks us to look at our patterns.

A fearless inventory asks us to tell the truth without running.

We write to understand, not to judge.
We look so we can heal.
We uncover so we can be free.

Step Four reminds us that awareness is the bridge between where we’ve been and where we’re going. ✨️ If we arent aware of these things, we will continue to repeat patterns that keep us stuck in all areas of our lives.

I realized how much I ran from discomfort.
I realized how deathly afraid I was of being alone.
I realized I was willing to sacrifice my needs in order to not be alone.

These were my main observations through deep and honest reflection. It's taken time since having this awareness though, to not fall back into old patterns, to believe that I am worthy of all the things I seek in this lifetime. That what I'm looking for does exist, it's about being very clear in prayer, and claiming these things with confidence as if they are already mine.

2025 showed me I could be alone without the deeply rooted fear I'd felt before. It allowed me stillness to get really clear on what I want to be aligned with. It helped me find strength in knowing what boundaries I needed to set for healthy relationships.

As I arrive back into stillness, I'm grateful for knowing that deeply rooted fear isn't something I need to allow back into my mindset. I can be alone and still be ok.

Hermit Mode, getting clearer on the important things, staying balanced and in the flow 🙏

IYKYK

Working my recovery has meant different things at different times. One of rhe ways we work our recovery ia to be of service. They say it's a way to give back what was so freely given to us.

Every Monday evening for almost a full year now,.I Secretary a.Zoom NA meeting. It's a long day for me. I have my first Private Yoga client at 630am and this meeting at 9pm. It keeps me rooted in my recovery.

Branching out a little more I put my name in the hat to speak at the Northern California Convention of Narcotics Anonymous. I must be whrere God wants me to be, because I was offered an opportunity to speak!

If you're attending the convention, I'd love to see your smiling face in the audience. You can find me there Friday, April 3rd at 3pm.

I'll be speaking on the topic: Step 8: Making the list: Owning the harm I've caused.

Humbled and grateful. Pain with a purpose ✨️
