I’ve found myself with beautiful ceremonial matcha and I’m reflecting on what tension I feel in my body. Specifically, where is there tension and what is causing it, making it tighter and loser? Thoughts cause feelings. When you feel tense, what are you thinking about? Today, sit inside your ...

Run away from the jungle -- all those plants are overwhelming! After a quick doctor visit in the city of Denpasar I paid a taxi driver to take me an hour further south. Now two hours away from Ubud, I'm at Melasti Beach, rejoicing in my love of sun, ocean and sand. Fill me up with joy and mermaid...

Walk with me through the rice terraces, hot sunshine and watercolor paints keeping me company. I started and ended my day with the swings. Swinging over the jungle is a big deal around here. Still adjusting to life out in the world on my own, nervous belly butterflies weren't ready to swing at th...

My first love in Bali was the beach at Uluwaut. I sat in the cave and painted the cliffs, sand everywhere, even inside the paint, adding texture! I befriended a Brazilian painter/surfer on this beach and a group of children. Everyone came to paint with me. Up on the cliffs, I ate smoothie bowls a...

My heart exploded with joy as the turquoise water smiled at me. This was my second day waking up in the Bali paradise. A pink plumeria flower floated my way and I jumped in the pool, grabbed my paints, and spent the first hours of the day beneath a blue sky, soaking in the magic. This is what I'd...

When you sit to write, craft the entire experience.
Something tasty to nipple on and sip. Food you feel proud eating, with integrity, energizing and simple.
A comfortable seat that supports upward posture. Cushions. Backrest. Feet touch the floor.
An environment that soothes a...

Close your eyes and inhale slowly.
Exhale slowly and say “yes” to whatever you are about to write, discover and learn.
