Appropriate Deaths
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.
There’s wealth in endings.
I can see everything I am leaving behind before I step through the door into the next room – all the old comforts. But today is the day to turn fully toward the new, the day to step into the new.

I must trust enough to step through death into growth.

Gone, Gone, Gone Beyond: Hail the Goer
My mother passed on March 21, 2015. Somehow, it seems appropriate that she passed at Ostara, the beginning of spring, the beginning of beginnings. I have so many feelings…and I am doing my best to be present to all of them, even the shame, guilt,… Read More
