I am taking my own medicine and challenging myself to show up online and in person more, especially when it's raw and not perfect.

I wrote the last few slides that I read aloud at Story while in a Waymo on the way home from being entrained at after one of my clesties informed me that she was going to per my recommendation on Wednesday night in SF.

This summer I have gone deep. I have been doing my own shadow work, family constellations, having profound sessions with clients, and was inspired by my husband's beloved grandmother's death, and my reckoning with my father's mortality.

I bore witness to my husband's and his whole family's deep grief after their matriarch passed suddenly, and was given the gift of being able to hold space for her and for them, and to offer her reiki on her final day.

The first slide is of the altar space that we created in lieu of a dining area, and I included a snippet from when I read this at Story, and a photo of our ancestors at our wedding in January.

Last month I stumbled upon a new community of Asian family constellations participants facilitated by after I made the decision to say goodbye to my office. This is what walking in alignment and belonging feels like.

I am grateful for and grieving who I used to be as I realize that she is shedding layers before my eyes.

I considered myself outspoken and direct, and yet I am finding that I still regret not speaking my truth for fear of offending, hurting, or triggering someone else.

So here I am, activating a very atrophied muscle here online.

I have been hidden in the shadows for far too long, so as not to draw any unwanted attention to myself. I learned that that invites criticism, ridicule, and judgement.

is one of the reasons I have found myself biting my tongue. People are so quick to write each other off and turn their backs on or fight people for saying the wrong thing. Our livelihoods may be affected as business owners.

The stakes are so high, that we don't even try to understand people with differing points of view because it threatens our world view. It might threaten how we perceive ourselves, and therefore our entire reality and life. That's terrifying for most people.

I am learning how to have misunderstandings and conflict and to repair. And let me tell you, that doesn't happen when we bite our tongue or tell half truths.

Under a fascist regime, my declaration of my values as a healing facilitator are long overdue.

⚡I AM NOT here to hold space for people who believe that their freedom, survival, safety, and happiness hinge on the erasure of another person's humanity, dignity, life, and rights.

⚡I AM here for collective liberation and healing truth sharing, collaboration, empowerment, unapologetic joy, and love.

Put more bluntly, I am anti-genocide, antiracist, antifascist, pro-choice, a feminist who believes trans women are women, anti-ICE, pro-decolonization, and all about uplifting the voices of people who have been silenced and oppressed.

Even though I'm not surprised by the outcome of the election, I found that my previous outer shell of indifference that has protected me for the past few weeks melted into a pool of grief today. Not because a Democrat or a woman lost the election, but because all I could think of is how disconnected from solidarity, mutual respect, care, and understanding most Americans are.

I was born on land that was stolen, from a lineage that fought to thrive here at the cost of the lives of its indigenous inhabitants. Half of my people were the problem here in this country. I come from working class, lower-income English/European stock on my mother's side. From people who probably voted for any politician who promised that they wouldn't have to struggle or worry about money anymore. It's a tale as old as time.

I am grateful for my ancestors for making it possible for me to be alive, and for the traits they passed on that have enabled me to survive and thrive, but I refuse to carry the weight of their outdated beliefs in my blood. I will not make decisions out of fear or self-preservation alone, but instead from my intuition, wisdom, and discernment.

People talk about patriotism, but how can you pledge allegiance to a system that was created to succeed by crushing and stripping the rights of other humans and destroying the land that you claim you would die for and that you claim belongs to you? What if patriotism meant being a steward of the land that we all live on, respecting and protecting all life that lives here, and recognizing every being's right to safety, dignity, and liberty?

What if loving this country and being a patriot meant loving and tending to the LAND that nourishes and heals us with its crops and herbs, the WATERS that quench our thirst and cleanse us, the AIR that is our breath of life and that carries the whispers of our ancestors, and FIRE that destroys to make room for renewal as well as the fire of our spirits?

If that were the definition , then I would call myself a patriot. Until then, I will continue to speak my intentions, hopes , and dreams for a different reality into existence.
