Happy Sunday, Journeyer! This week’s Happy Happens edition seems to be all about the color yellow! Yesterday I had the awesome experience of attending an Intuition Boot Camp, where we learned things about getting in touch with our energy field and connecting with our intuition. The light in my meditations is always a vivid, sparkling gold color. I forgot to … Read More
Prepping Positivity
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! Well, what can I say other than this past week has been pretty much dictated by my workplace crap. I’ve spent countless hours in meetings and documenting everything that has been transpiring at warp speed. The good news, as I pointed out in last week’s post is that I am beginning to digest the fact that I’m … Read More
One Day at a Time
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! Life is as life does; a perpetual ebb and flow of darkness and sunshine. And so it continues…the work saga that incites fear and insecurity and a continuous feeling of unsettledness… And so it continues…my dedication to Step 5 of The Five Steps of Healing…Choose Vitality. I attempt to choose vitality each and every day, Journeyer, to … Read More
Of Mistakes and Meaning
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! Wow… Each week as I sit down to write my weekly Happy Happens column, I do two things. 1) I look back through my day planner to see how the previous seven days managed to flash before my eyes. 2) I scroll through my iPhone camera roll so I can recall the many fleeting moments that made … Read More
A Wringer of a Week
Happy Sunday-Monday, Journeyer! Well what can I say but it’s been another interesting week, with a few dilemmas that left me feeling like I was put through the proverbial wringer… You know those expressions…”When it rains it pours…” And so it continues… Warren and I spent several evenings correcting errors in our year-end tax documents… I’ve been fighting off some kind … Read More

Smile Because It Happened
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! As I scroll through this past week’s events, I can’t help but notice the stark contrast between happiness and strife… This week brought with it two more deaths of people who left this earth way too early, and both of these men took their own lives… This is the fourth death of someone we know and the third … Read More
The Intersection of Gender with Jaden Smith, Louis Vuitton, and Two Men Named Bruce Weber
Earlier this week I read Amazing Women Rock’s social media share about Jaden Smith modeling Louis Vuitton Womenswear. Many of the comments were disheartening and some were downright disturbing. The one that made the most sense to me came from AMR: “Plenty of women have dressed in men’s clothing over the decades…” The truth is that it has been going … Read More
The Perfect Gift
Dearest Journeyer, One quote from this Christmas season seems to have neatly wrapped itself inside my brain. “That’s a thoughtful gift,” someone exhaled when she opened my gift to her. A handcrafted, glass color palette seemed like the perfect gift for an artist. Apparently it was. I’m a bit like Santa; I spend an entire year preparing for gift giving. … Read More
The Bank of Christmas
