Going for It

I lost a loved one several years ago, and today is the anniversary of his funeral. His death woke me up. He helped me remember that I was here for a reason, and he gave me the confidence to reach my dreams with one message that he shared over and over again: "Go for it."

Love Is Forever

Part of me has been dreading this day. And another part of me has been excited for it to come – to celebrate it. I wasn’t sure if I was going to share about it here or just keep it to myself, but here I am. So I suppose that means that I’m meant to speak from my soul rather than write about it in my journal.

Leaning Into You

One year ago today, my sweet dog-ter, Xena, passed away. Since then, I’ve shared about this journey of grief here on Soul Speak. I’ve shared how my heart completely broke open with this experience and how my life opened wider than ever because of it.

On a spring day in 2003, I saw a ball of fluff bounding up to me out of the corner of my eye. You were an energetic, beautiful, vibrant dog with the sweetest smile that I’d ever seen. You jumped into my arms right away, and I knew that you were something special. 

We had just moved to this isolated road in the middle of the New Mexican mountains. More

It Feels So Good to See Others Soar!

Have you ever watched someone else soar, and it made you want to flap your own wings and fly as well? Have you ever felt so inspired by someone that you wanted to share that feeling with everyone? Have you ever seen someone reaching their dreams, and it made your own heart swell with love and pride and excitement?

I have. I feel this all of the time. I am lucky to be surrounded by an amazing circle of friends: dear hearts that are leaping and dreaming and inspiring and leading and loving and learning More
