Hi Lovey, I’m standing wrapped in a towel, dripping wet after jumping in our pool as we are having a crazy heat wave in LA, typing away at my kitchen island, with sopping wet hair.  I felt inspiration come in so I leapt to attention to answer, slippery hands and all! I am approaching my 40th birthday next week and it feels like a big one for me. This little life of mine has journeyed through some wild lands of healing and releasing the effects of abuse and immense suffering in the past four decades and I am grateful to be entering into a chapter where wisdom, love and creative expression are my guiding lights.
