Hi, I hope you are doing well and staying safe.
I can’t believe it’s December, yet here we are. In my last letter, I said I wouldn’t hold my breath about 2021, in an attempt to release the pressure of January 1st and the fake idea we would be redeemed somehow and how

Read MoreFor this month’s letter, I honestly didn’t want to write much. I feel there’s so much information out there right now and I’ll try to not add to the noise. Instead, let’s try to see if you can hear yourself for a bit.
Read MoreThe other day I heard something that made me stop: What is hard for you, it’s not what is wrong with you. As we walk through the roughness of this year and the complexity of each moment, it can become easy to begin to associate with what's hard for us to what's wrong within us.
Read MoreThe other day I encountered a poem from Antonio Machado that I always really loved and it stayed with me for a few days and this part really rang loud: “No hay camino, se have camino al andar / “There is no road; you make your own path as you walk.”
Read MoreStay with me here. We’ve all been called to collectively tune into our discomfort in order to begin to process our shame, guilt and fear around the systemic racism and social injustice status we are slowly unveiling, in the midst of a very confused pandemic.

Read MoreIn my letter last month, we were starting to get used to this new reality. Trying to “get ready” for the unknown. Now, we are on week 737560 and what feels like the edge of it.

Read MoreDo we really live as if we allow all the parts of ourselves to be? Do we really include them all? Do we move in this world letting all of our parts feel belonged and welcomed?
Read MoreThis is probably my last letter of this year, as we enter December I’ll slow down a bit after a full year. So if it is, it has been a pleasure to write these and to know someone on the other side is reading and reflecting on them creating internal space and dialogue gives me such gratification.
