There's a version of me the world has always known — polished, fast, self‑contained, and impossible to catch unless I choose to be caught. I've lived most of my life as the Ferrari: sleek on the outside, powerful under the hood, and fiercely independent. I learned early that if I kept the engine humming and the exterior gleaming, no one would ask what it cost to maintain it. No one would ask what it protected. Being the Ferrari became my identity. My armor. My rhythm. My safety. Men admired the shine, the speed, the thrill. They loved the ride's fantasy, not the reality of the woman inside. And I learned to give them only what they could handle — the exterior. The performance. The curated version of me that kept my heart tucked away behind steel and speed. Then someone came along who didn't just want to look at the car. He wanted to understand the engine. He wasn't dazzled by the surface. He wasn't intimidated by the horsepower. He wasn't trying to tame me,...

You're already listening; your body is telling you that, to help you heal, it needs you to massage your abdomen once per day. You're already doing this, and have been for a few weeks now, based on what you've just told me.   My point is that you are listening to the message that your body gave you, which was an intuitive nudge, or a thought you had about starting to self-massage.  Your massage session with me today will gently boost what you are doing at home. Excellent listening, awareness, and follow-through.  My client gave me the side-eye when I said this to her, and I went on to explain that she had been listening all along, since she had begun the self-massage without anyone telling her to. It was her body that gave her the message in the form that she only knew, and if she thought hard enough about it, she'd figure out what it was that made her begin the abdominal massage.  She still wasn't sure, yet was open to the idea that she was listening and aware of wh...

A tribute to all who have a healing touch -- Thank you.

Clairsentience. Clairsentience is the ability to sense energies from the past, present, and future through emotions from people, places, or situations. Often labeled as hunches, inklings, or gut feelings, Clairsentience is a widespread and valuable psychic sense that  uses your body's inner sixth sense to bring you information and knowledge that you would otherwise have no way of knowing.  Yet, there isn't much clear information available.   As a result, many people have the ability of Clairsentience, yet they don't understand how fantastic an ability it is to have and use. As you begin to recognize your Clairsentience abilities, you can strengthen them, and only if you have a burning desire, a will, and a commitment to do so.    If you think you might be Clairsentient, I hope this article gives you insight and a clear direction, as it has for me during my research.  What Is Clairsentience? You may hear the word  clair  being thrown around a ...

Know when.  Do you know when to know when?

A friend said this to me the other day:   The longer the wait, the better the ask. There's sacred tension in waiting.   Not the passive kind that numbs you into distraction, but the active, soul-stretching kind that refines your wants, needs, and desires. The longer you wait—not out of fear or indecision, but out of respect—the more precise, powerful, and in alignment your ask becomes. Waiting isn't punishment. It's preparation.  In spiritual growth, you often rush to name what you want before you've truly met yourself.  You ask for love before you soften into self-acceptance.  You ask for abundance before you heal your wounds of scarcity.  You ask for clarity before you sit in the shadows long enough to know what truly matters to you.  But when you wait—when you allow the silence to shape you, the longing to clarify you—your ask transforms. Your ask becomes less about fixing and more about fulfilling; less about proving something to others or yourself...
