JOMO IRL

I heard this term recently somewhere (and I totally forget where) and it stands for: THE JOY OF MISSING OUT ON/IN REAL LIFE What?!? Sounds totally counter-intuitive but bear with me ... As we come out of some of the significant restrictions from COVID and so many things begin to re-open, I am struck by … Continue reading JOMO IRL →

In This Moment

In this moment, I come as I am and I speak of courage and I give the gift of my truth. In this moment, I come as a daughter and I speak of remembrance and I give the gift of inter-dependence. In this moment, I come as a wife and I speak of vows and … Continue reading In This Moment →
