I love being of service. When I say I love to love you, I do. I love to love you. It’s frames my life with meaning and purpose. It brings me back to the truth of the goodness in humanity, the importance of connection and deep care and how magical the simple medicine of love can be. It’s something I can do in a time when the external world feels out of my circle of influence. I can love you.
I have openings in my in person facial and reiki practice in RI this month. The first being:
This arrived yesterday in the mail. 🥹 Today a dear friend sent me a text message sharing how she had bought multiple copies of my book to give as gifts to friends and then shared some of their responses with me.
One friend thanked her and asked where she could buy some to give as gifts. The ripple of sisterhood never ceases to amaze me. 😍🙏🏻
The next text was a picture of “Grief”. The poem I wrote for my cousin Seamus who passed last April. Her friend had just lost her mother and chose to recite “Grief” as part of her eulogy.
With tears rolling down my face I watched the video she sent me of her friend bravely reciting it.
It’s hard to put into words how incredibly honored and humbled I felt to receive this. Far more than any award.

I am always in awe of the magic that comes from presence, deep listening and curiosity.

Obi and I have naturally weened off of breastfeeding in the past few weeks and as seems to be the continual ushering of motherhood, grief asks to be honored.
The love woven into grief that asks us to be present and reverent.
To the lasts, the constant change, baby fat that sheds into the little boy body, our own body that will never be what it was and from being an essential source of nourishment and connection, back into our skin again.
Grief and I have become sacred sisters. The heaviness in my heart and the tears that alchemize life flowing through me. No longer feeling like an unbearable weight but a gentle song as life sings me into surrender.

It’s been a big week. Obi had surgery Thursday to remove a nevus on his head. It all went really well and he’s already back to his normal spunky self.
It brought up the little girl in me who was in and out of the hospital for years for hip surgeries and gave me a deep empathy for my own mama and all she went through.
Not two days later I kissed my baby goodbye before leaving him for more than a few hours for the first time. 6 days in a deep dive in person advanced facilitator training with .
I know that he will be well cared for and the gratitude for the community that we live in and that holds him and the incredible love and support of my partner makes me cry just as much as leaving my son.
I am going offline for the next 6 days and I’m sure I will emerge an even more resilient, loving, capable woman and mama (the inevitable results of every COR experience.)

This has been a powerful practice for me this year. Amongst the heartbreak, grief, anger and disbelief at the state of our country, letting in the good has been a form of empowerment.
Not just resourcing my energy or filling up my cup, not just fueling my hope and resilience, letting the good in has generated more good.
Laws of attraction right? What we focus on grows. And growing good feels so very important.
Life echoing this message everywhere. In conversations brought up, the required reading for a training (Hardwiring Happiness), the Ta**us season invitations, the birds song and the smell of new blooms.
This isn’t just sticking my head in the sand and only focusing on the positive, it’s expanding my capacity to hold all of it. The more good I can hold, the more capacity I have to lovingly hold the heartbreak and the inevitable waves of pain to come.
Care, deep care takes courage, and so does letting in the good.
Guilt or questioning my worthiness of all the good only disempowers me which is not what the world needs. The world needs me full, radiant and ready.
Some days I am, some days I am drained and dejected but letting my son’s full body squeeze, the sound of the wind chimes outside my window, or the feel of my first book of poetry in my hands, pour into my heart like warm tea, softens the harder days.
Let the good in, all the way in. Our joy, our happiness, our thriving is fuel for Life.

One year ago today you fell asleep in the arms of the ocean.
You are so deeply loved Seamus, so deeply missed. While we can’t lean into one of your bear hugs, we will lean into the love that we have for you, even when it hurts, and into the signs you are always giving.
I wrote this for poem for you. You will forever live in our love.

I noticed lately the resistance to finding my way back to the things I know are my medicine. Words and writing being one of the most potent for me.
Why do we resist the things we know will help and heal?
As soon as I picked up a pen this morning, I heard the voice that was most likely holding me back. The recovering perfectionist that said “this better be good.” The voice stopping my hand from moving, not allowing words to come through for fear that they weren’t good enough.
In witnessing her, I took a breath and softened, releasing the pressure and expectation and let myself write for me, as my medicine, and there she was, my soul just waiting for me to hear her.
One of my favorite quotes comes to mind in reflecting on all this.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.“
I think sometimes what stops us from doing the things we know will help is not our darkness but rather the fear that if we feed ourselves well, sleep ourselves well, move our selves well, care for ourselves well, that we will be responsible to that vibrant, healthy, powerful self and have no excuses for when we are out of integrity with ourselves.
I was struggling this morning and I’m grateful that today I didn’t let the resistance win. I went for a walk with my little family, got my hands in the dirt, talked to a sister and chose to write.
The world feels a little less heavy, my body feels lighter and I found my way back to Joy and vitality.

East and I have both been married before. When we started dating and thinking about what we wanted our committed life to look like we decided we would both propose.
Most men in heterosexual partnerships do not get to receive this special moment. I have been so excited and anxiously planning the past few weeks and Friday, I was honored to create the romantic vision I have been holding to show my Love my devotion and commitment.
Writing out what I wanted to say to him came easily as soon as I wrote the word magic. Our story, our parallel paths, our connection and the amazing little boy and life we've created together are just that, magic.
As we sent our luminary off with the other floating blessings for our partnership, the words again were for “a long and magical life”.
Yes, that’s it.

Meet Emily, the owner and founder of Love Living Holistics. Emily is a passionate holistic lifestyle practitioner specializing in life coaching, beauty and reiki energy healing. She graduated from Wheaton College with her BA in Women’s Studies and after graduating, she backpacked through Europe for two months exploring new places, making friends of strangers and building an important foundation of independence, courage, curiosity and adventure. Emily has been working in the beauty world since the age of 16 and has a wide knowledge and love of quality beauty products but more importantly, a love of connecting with others and assisting them in feeling beautiful and embodied.
After obtaining her esthetics license in Florida and then Rhode Island, Emily moved back to her hometown of Newport, Rhode Island and began her own independent esthetics practice, Emily Perkins Esthetics. With a strong dedication to her clients and a deep holistic philosophy of offering a whole being experience, Emily built a well known reputation of excellence. As a born healer and empath, Emily could feel the pull of her spirit to explore the energy transfer happening in her treatments, which lead her to reiki. In 2013 Emily received her Reiki I certification which opened up a world of spiritual and personal expansion and exploration.
Over the years to come she dove deeply into “the work”. She traveled to places like Guatemala and Costa Rica to work with other healers and shamans, completed Reiki II, Advanced Reiki and eventually her Master certification. She is now an Usui Holy Fire II Reiki Master teaching reiki certification courses to pass on the magic of reiki.
In 2016 Emily also attended Accomplishment Coaching, one of the finest coach training programs in the world. This next level of education and transformation clearly brought to light the next phase of her purpose of assisting others in igniting their whole being through the power of ontological coaching. Each part of her path has lead her to the next, organically building and expanding her understanding of herself and ability to support others in their own journey.
The next phase of the journey was to expand! Rebranding as Love Living Holistics and bringing on Rob Berube in 2018 as the resident massage and craniosacral therapist and then in 2019 Amanda Grant to take over the beauty and skincare part of the practice. Both incredibly talented, Amanda and Rob share the Love Living Holistics philosophy of truly caring for the whole health and wellbeing of all of their guests.
