You know, I sure have never seen the inside of the eye of the storm, but you’ve heard the stories, right? That…in the dead center, if you were to stand there, it is deathly calm, and there is a barricade of wind stopping the destruction from entering that very middle. I imagine that they call […]
They say “the truth shall set you free.” It doesn’t. ..unless you act on it. This has never been more true for me than in my relationships with people. Maya Angelou has famously been known to have said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” Before I knew that it would be worth […]
“Are you feeling for this?” “Thunder!” She smacked her lips playfully. “Sure.” She spun around to face me, pushing me back into the bed, and grabbed onto Thunder directing him into the O-ring, with her hands over mine and looking at my eyes. Melting, I smiled at her, and she smiled back as she stood […]
Rizzo gently picked up the chicken as he stepped forward. “Where were you going anyway? There are wild dogs out there.” “One of these days I’ll leave you to your wits and see what comes of it.” Node clucked defiantly, as if to test Rizzo’s statement, making her chuckle. “Okay, then.” Node had one stray […]
Letting Go is being able to embrace your realities and be entirely present in the moment with them, meanwhile understanding that you are not the sum total of those experiences. I’ve likened it to the use of a pencil to write, so in holding a pencil to write with it, you have to properly grip […]

I think from those eyes, perhaps everything looks gray, because you can always feel the tension between multiple perspectives of the same truth.
They all touched me, inappropriately, without permission, violating my trust and spirit.
A few days ago I made a decision about my gender expression. It so happened that yesterday, I passed by the very same beach where all this brave discovery began 6 years ago. I sat and meditated for a while and then made a video. The video below is episode 2, from 6 years ago […]
I am extremely grateful for the growth I’ve experienced in the last few months. It has made me more courageous and also more resilient. Best of all, I have become clearer and clearer about my intentions and desires, shaped in knowledge of self. Carnival is always a milestone for me, particularly J’ouvert. It is a […]
Feminism was the beginning of the demise of society. I mean among other things of course…when we started telling femininity that it should not display itself for masculinity..and to do so would be objectifying itself. Objectification is the dehumanization of a person – the same as seeing a whole woman as just a slick hole. […]
