Today I reached for stillness when my mind was looping on a single question: “Wtf is going on?“⁣
⁣
The answer that I was given: Alchemy. ⁣
⁣
America is undergoing an alchemical transformation - a forced integration of irreconcilable opposites. Alchemy requires friction to create something new. The outcome depends on what guides the transformation. To be honest, it’s as if the nation is living in one big crucible. Alchemy looks like chaos from within it.⁣
⁣
I’m absorbing fear from this collective defensive energy, amplified by millions of people simultaneously in warrior / fear mode. In the face of opposition, people battle to maintain position. I feel this - keeping informed yet besieged but trying to hold ground, living in a near constant state of defense in my head. My mind thinks it must fight to survive.⁣
⁣
What I received today is that Spirit is calling us (individually and collectively) to start heart-seeking rather than raising swords, to seek common humanity over defending positions, to seek unity over division. *Fear only lives in the mind.* Our technology is amplifying and weaponizing this fear. The antidote is coming back to the body and the earth. ⁣
⁣
To release my fear, I must remember to return to a love-based vision over fear-based reaction. I can ground into steady heart-centered work, putting one foot in front of the other. The fear will release through practical action, not mental fighting.⁣
⁣
- I can recognize that I’m living through a national transformation.⁣
- I can accept that I can’t control the alchemy, only my response to it. ⁣
- I will not will not allow my fear to be weaponized. ⁣
- I will focus on my heart-centered work. ⁣
⁣
Interestingly I’m reminded of this daily by the monks walking for peace (.usa ). With each footstep the small group of monks take, I see such a grounded presence of peace walking through our crucible that it draws me in and opens my heart like nothing else can these days. ⁣
⁣
“We can be at peace when things happen. We can meet whatever arises—joy or sorrow, gain or loss—with a steady mind and an open heart.”⁣
⁣
May all beings live in peace. 🙏❤️💫

2025 was an intense year, and one of significant growth and intentional regulation. I wrote a series of journals called The Daily Ground, and by the end of the year I had completed all 4. It was a spirit-inspired project, and I'm so glad that I followed my intuition and took action.

I am still surprised that I was able to do this. In the beginning of 2025 I felt frozen. 2 years into menopause as a GenX mom, I found myself in new territory with my body and mind. I labeled it a nervous system freeze state, and I went to work to get myself regulated.

Through guided breathwork, somatics, vedic meditation and rounding, hormone replacement therapy, travel, spin classes, intentional daily grounding and a focus on family, lots of red light therapy mat time, supplements and hydration, I surrounded myself with experts, and friends that could help shift me... you name it, I tried it all. I'm like the of exiting freeze states now.

And you know what? It worked for this 6/2 Aquarian hitting her Saturn return, baby.

In my joy state after completing the journals, I made a decision update my headshot. My last one was taken when I lived the life of a marketing executive in Silicon Valley. I rarely like photos of myself these days at almost 53 years young! I walked into the studio a hot mess with leggings I have worn daily the last 3 years, my goto black shirt, no shoes, and a desire to see the real me show up in the photos - such a high bar for any photographer! I really just wanted my outsides to match the joy I was feeling on the insides. It worked. In this photo, I see my essence, captured by .

Now, just 12 days into 2026, I can already see that it is going to take more energy than ever to stay grounded this year. That's just one reason why I'm grateful to have this project coming into form at this time.

My advice for 2026? Choose whatever it is that makes your light shine, and do it now without delay.

Your name came to me on the side of a church on the corner of Marlborough Street when I lived in Boston. That’s when I knew you were destined to arrive. I saw the Grace building standing on a corner in NYC with your dad and said, “my first daughter is going to be named Grace.” He said “My firm built that Grace building.”

You arrived on the coldest night in NYC during a snowstorm, full head of hair, and eyes that wanted to take everything in. Your arrival made me a mother, a gift so big it overwhelms my soul with joy and gratitude.

Thank you for choosing to be here at this time with all of us. You make life infinitely better every minute you are in it. 💫❤️🎂

Every minute with you is an absolute treasure babe.

I love you so much Grace ❤️❤️🧁🎂❤️❤️

Been thinking about something I read on the inter-webs this week.

It’s not light | dark
It’s light | absence of light

and so

It’s not love | hate
It’s love | absence of love

Be the light. Be the love.

Especially when you sense its absence.

You are already this.

You just need to remember to shine.

I see all these holiday gift guides and I thought, why not me? Lol

So I decided to create a little wish list over on Amazon with links to some of my favorite products that I use on a regular, if not daily basis.

Many of these items crossover between your mental emotional physical and spiritual dimensions.

For example, when you package together a journal with a meditation mat with a chime and candles, you’re really getting a multidimensional experience.

When you use a fitness optimization tool like the WHOOP in relation to your recovery and it prompts you towards more stillness, then you can enhance and affect not only your physical dimension, but your mindset, your emotions, and your spirituality as well.

Most of these items I’m using on a daily basis at the moment and have been for many years. Aside from the weights currently that is lol – – I went really hard for 10+ years and my body has been in recovery this last year.

My point is, yes, you can find some truly amazing products and buy them for their novelty. Even more beneficial holistically, you’ll think more deeply about your use of the products to build rituals and routines that become an extension of your own well-being.

In this image are a few that can inspire you, and if you want to find them for yourself, you can find the wish list link in my bio on insta, Ie in comments below.

Happy holidays to all. Truly love you all so much.

Loved reading how Tim Ferriss uses daily journaling. Like Tim, I began Morning Pages years ago. The year before last I did finally follow Julia Cameron’s actual book, 25th Anniversay Edition which had been sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust. Now a 30th year edition has been published! I found it to be a wonderful journey.

My own set of published journals, The Daily Ground, is a reflection of this and many other journaling experiences. I have been journaling since my with the intent to open my mind or analyze my own world since my early 20’a. Prior to that I was using a little diary… recording my days. There is a difference!

You can find my journals on Amazon currently, and as of right now they do arrive in time for the holidays. ❤️🤶

History is littered with examples of successful (and unsuccessful) people who kept daily journals. It ranges from Marcus Aurelius to Ben Franklin, and from Mark Twain to George Lucas. But what on earth did they write about? Or perhaps you’ve seen examples of their writing and thought to yourself, ...
