Bhodi and I had a blast at the No Kings rally and march on Saturday. Bhodi was even more popular than usual and everyone loved his BITE ICE 🧊 sigh on his service dog vest 😂 Speakers were on point and diverse and were all community organizers not politicians except for our newly elected AG Mike Brown. I was impressed with how diverse, positive, kind, peaceful and courteous a crowd of 10s of thousands of people were and it made me feel grateful to live in Seattle. There have been many critiques of this particular action that are quite nihilistic and pessimistic in nature. Do I think this solved the issues at hand? Of course not? Is it the only action I’m taking to stand up for justice, truth, love, democracy & human rights? Of course not. What I do know is that nihilism and pessimism although understandable, are not helpful and only create more hopeless and fearful energy. And apathy, fear etc is a huge part of how we got here. Ellie Weisal a Holocaust survivor said “The opposite of love isn’t hate it’s indifference.” There’s power in collective energy and in hope. In seeing each other saying NO this isn’t who we want to be to fascism. And as someone who has extensively studied and professionally worked in the fields of psychology, human behavior, collective bargaining, community organizing, and metaphysics my entire adult life, I can confidently tell you that energy is everything and our thoughts and words matter. They shape our reality. I choose a reality of hope. Of audacious hope even. Of love. Of joy. Of believing that humans will and can do better and that the best is yet to come. That we are limitless creative gods and goddesses and that it’s only the forces of evil including the ones in our own minds that can stop us from creating beautiful change. The revolution will not be televised and it will begin within. Our hearts and minds. That’s the key my friends. Don’t waste your one wild and precious life buying into the doom and gloom. Find your light 💡 and anchor ⚓️ into what sets your heart on fire ❤️‍🔥

It’s been 2 years ago today since one of the worst days of my life. When that earth shattering, world altering news came through the phone that you’d never walk this earth again, that I’d never hear your laugh or feel your sternum in your tight hugs pulling me into your skinny frame. Never wipe my face after one of your enthusiastic wet kisses or hear your gravely voice & Texas drawl you never lost despite spending most of your life in the Midwest, on my voicemail say “ok Looove you. Ok call me back, turtle. Love you, bye.” I’m so curious what you’d think about the completely wild s**t that has unfolded since you left this plane. But I think you probably felt you were getting out just in time. And I’m glad you still communicate with me in your new ways from the beyond the veil of things & that you’re no longer struggling to breathe in a failing human body. Love you forever Daddio, Crazy Rabbit. Rest in Power 🐇✨🙏🏽✨

This month marks a year and a half since I permanently broke up with alcohol and ni****ne and stepped onto the Ritual Master path.

Reflecting on where I am: I’m in my most whole, present, joyful, authentic era yet. Choosing not to numb while committing to living my spiritual truth through daily rituals, created discipline that made space in my life to be grounded in who I am and return to what brings me joy and purpose without the need for external validation. I’m making decisions from my intuition. My discernment has never been more clear.

What I’ve been up to this winter:

I reduced my hours from 40 to 32 at Kaiser and I’ve been spending my extra time on a dance team learning sensual Bachata & Zouk. I also finally returned to one of my great loves: acting! I completed improv 101 with ComedySportz Seattle and got to perform in a showcase to a packed audience at the end: so much fun!

I’ve also taken on caring for animals again and truly enjoy this joyful way to make up the financial difference of reducing my hours hanging out with fur babies. I’m taking steps to become an entrepreneur so that I can share my light-work more freely with more beautiful souls on a path to self alignment & deep healing come summer. I traveled to Maya Riviera Mexico S*x Therapist training last month: something that’s always intrigued me and I’m excited to incorporate more into my future practice. Last week, I got my pentagram tattoo completed: a symbol of the Ritual Master path.

The reason these choices have led to such a deep inner transformation, is that they allow me to not participate in anything that makes me a hypocrite or create cognitive dissonance. This frees up my energy to use more wisely. Whenever I fall out of alignment now, I can course correct so much faster without any drama.

I’m also experiencing both more surrender and more trust.

Grateful I chose to center my joy in a winter that could not have been heavier collectively. Excited for the unexpected blessings that Spring will bring.

Ya’ll, I just did something that felt wildly cathartic & long overdue. I cancelled my Amazon Prime membership and wrote a letter to Jeff Bezos telling him why at his publicly available email address: jeff@amazon.com

I have always been conflicted shopping there as it has pretty much destroyed the affordability of our city. But the allure of easy capitalism was too strong until now. The events of the past couple years plus his recent support of Trump and ICE? The cognitive dissonance was just getting way too loud to continue to ignore. So I am following who took his music off Amazon Music and told Bezos why and who recently withdrew his entire film catalog from Amazon video.

In America, money talks more than anything else unfortunately. I highly encourage others to do the same! Feel free to use my letter in the screenshots below as a guide but please make it your own. It’s working with target who recently abandoned their company’s founding values. We the People are Not too complicit to not stand up for what’s right, even if temporarily inconvenient

While the circus of Epstein files unfolds with N**i Barbie Pam, performing a 5 hour Karenthon of gaslighting on steroids, the house quietly passed the SAVE Act which if it goes through the senate, would require people to show proof of a birth certificate at the polls 😒

Anyone who’s ever had to get a new ID can probably verify how challenging that can be to obtain. It is an absolute attempt to rig the midterm elections and suppress progressive votes. This election needs to be “too big to rig” as John Lemmon said. Bill goes to the senate next. Call your senators! 👇

BREAKING: The House Passed the SAVE Act

This could block millions of eligible Americans from voting, requiring stricter voting “verification” rules.

➡️ The bill now moves to the Senate.

Call your Senators. At the number below 👇 or use 5calls.org which makes calling all your reps super easy peasy.

Tell them to protect access to the ballot.

Action is the antidote to despair. Love is the strongest force on earth. And loving action is a goddamn fire wall!” New

It can be easy to abandon ourselves and our own hearts & self care needs when the problems of the external world feel overwhelming, daunting & urgent. But we are so much more effective & able to shine our light in the world when we prioritize slowing down, tuning in, and filling our own cup; with what brings us back to center, to internal calm, and our equilibrium. From that place, we have the greatest power to effect change both within and without ✨🧘‍♀️🌍✨
