4 Week Post-injury Update :: I’m alive & (almost 4 Week Post-injury Update :: I’m alive & (almost) kickin! Checking in after full Achilles Tendon Rupture, opting for the non-surgical approach and inspired to share more soon! 🙋🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🙏 shout out to 2 of my support angels @achilles.rebuild & @james_cappola who are helping me get back stronger & better than ever!!💪#achilles #achillesrupture #achillesrupturerehab #healing #gratitude #achillestendon
Queen. Icon. Goddess. Woman. Warrior. Alchemist. F Queen. Icon. Goddess. Woman. Warrior. Alchemist. Fire. Sex. Courage. Resilience. Rock & Roll. Red. Power. Grace. 

Just a few of the words that come to mind, yet could never fully define, the magic of Tina Turner. 🔥

She was one of my first female super-heros. Her power, spirit, beauty, and humanity affected me on a visceral level. Watching her on stage & listening to her music, left such a vivid imprint on my young psyche…she was EVERYTHING to me as a little girl, and she continued to be an inspiration in her evolution, throughout my life.

I don't remember a family get together or celebration that did not include her music. My mom dressed like her for Halloween one year, and I danced around in her "Tina" wig wishing so badly I could be a bold, beautiful, shining light like Tina some day! She was pure Rock N Roll in every way! 🤘

Over the years, I learned of all she had suffered, endured, and overcome throughout her life. As a young girl, it was unfathomable how SHE could ever feel that small and powerless. Of course, I came to understand eventually...

I followed and was deeply inspired by her journey as she healed and deepened her spiritual path through the practices of Buddhism, and found her beloved later in life. She had so masterfully turned such deep trauma and pain into such palpable power, peace, and wisdom. She was a truly gifted ALCHEMIST ✨

What a woman. What a human. What a beautiful and powerful light.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Tina Turner…you were simply the BEST!! Blessings on your journey home…all hail the QUEEN!! 
✨🙏💃🏽🔥💖🕊️✨

Welp…good news is I had a fabulous time in Baja, Welp…good news is I had a fabulous time in Baja, met some beautiful people, got a great tan, and discovered I am a stud at Pickleball 💃🏻 

Not so good news: Pickleball is apparently a great way to rupture your Achilles Tendon😬 

So…it’s been a bit of an intense journey home. I won’t lie - this injury sucks. 0/10 do NOT recommend! 👎

But I’ve been blessed with lots of grace and many angels 😇 I won’t need surgery, and have great doctors, physical therapists, trainers, yoga teachers, an amazing sister, and my mom who flew up to help put me back together again…and of course Ms Bonita who is a very good nurse & emotional support floof.😻

I am humbled with the reminder that life and health are precious and not to be taken for granted! Our bodies are miracles 🙏 with every breath I take I am healing, and I will be stronger than ever. 💪

Sending love & support to anyone else struggling with any kind of injury, loss of mobility, health challenge, or difficult moment 💖 you got this…

Pre-injury trip pics coming soon ☺️📸

A few sweet moments from my Bday week…Ringing in A few sweet moments from my Bday week…Ringing in 43 low & slow. Just what the soul needed!

I ended last year in a pile of rubble. The burn out was REAL. The recovery has been crazy uncomfortable, yet super rich & rewarding. Sometimes we go through seasons of life that are not supposed to be comfortable, but they are necessary. Sometimes we need to be brought to our knees & stripped to the bone to be able to see all that we have & all that we are more clearly.

Shadow work, ego death, dark night of the soul, midlife crisis…whatever you call it - sometimes we just need to shed another layer of skin to reveal what’s been “becoming”. I needed to see where I had forgotten who I am & why I came here - to love & be loved. In order to see, I needed to let go of another layer of anger, resentment, victimhood & heal the separateness.

I’ve released some really old stories & baggage. My ❤️ feels healthier & stronger than it has in a long time. It’s been quite the process & the journey continues!

The recipe for grounding into a simpler, less intense pace of life? Sobriety, lots of walks, mindfulness, naps, HBO binges, yoga, tea, strength training, bodywork, cute animal videos, cuddles w/ my cat, clearing my calendar & plate of obligations, people & agreements that no longer serve me, calling in support & surrounding myself w/ beautiful souls who reflect my light & ❤️my darkness too. 

Most of all, I’ve given myself the space & grace to go through this time, feel my emotions (no matter how ugly or uncomfortable), face them & embrace them fully & then LET IT ALL GO…

I’ve loved not drinking for a bit & feeling a new sense of clarity & calm. But it felt sweet & appropriate to toast & celebrate this moment w/ my sister over a delicious Negroni @pizzeriabruciato & an amazing dinner & glass of wine @basarestaurant!

This year, my gifts & celebrations were simple & cherished so deeply. Soaking in my favorite beings, long walks in nature & remembering the hearts I’ve been honored to touch on my journey was one of the most beautiful ways to initiate this next year of life!

Gracias Amig@s…I love you 💖Hopefully I'll have the fuel to share & connect w/ you more soon! 💃🏻😘💖🦋🙏🌀
To the Women in my life…✨ Even and especially To the Women in my life…✨
Even and especially during one of the most challenging years, I have been so deeply blessed by your friendship, sisterhood, mothering, and love. You inspire me, activate me, hold me, and show me how to be noble and loving in the face of life’s greatest pains. I am in awe of each of you, and I don’t know where I’d be without the phenomenal women I am blessed to love and be loved by 🥰 

From the bottom of my soul, Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🙏…

These are just a few moments and memories with some of my favorite women this past year…💖💃🏻💪❤️‍🔥👯‍♀️🧚‍♀️

GODDESS!! 💖💔 Raquel Welch was everything to GODDESS!! 💖💔 Raquel Welch was everything to me growing up…my first idol, my first girl crush, my first Latina role model, my first yoga teacher!! 🙏 

I was transfixed by her beauty and prayed that some day I could be even a fraction as sexy, glamorous, exotic, and effortlessly confident & cool. I was so proud that she was a brunette and Latina, and that she was strong and powerful. I remember my mom had all her workout & yoga tapes and I have sweet memories of doing them with her in our living room. Through her I saw what a confident, self-possessed woman who owned her sexuality looked like…plus she was so talented, charming, and interesting. She played the game but made her own rules. She was the ultimate WOMAN in my book!💋

Thank you, Raquel - for sharing your beauty, divine feminine essence, talents, and bright gorgeous light with us. May your spirit live on and may your journey home be full of love and grace…✨🙏💖🔥🕊️✨

Yesterday the rains subsided… The skies cleared Yesterday the rains subsided…
The skies cleared & the sun shone bright ☀️
My sister & I took a walk to our beach for the first time in far too long…
Each time the view takes my breath away…I never know what magical spectacle awaits, or what nature will teach me.
The water was full of driftwood and debris, remnants of the nonstop rains and storms of recent weeks…
I reflected on how this external nature so perfectly mirrored my internal nature. 
I felt the accumulation of internal debris from the storms of the past weeks, months and years of life. 
I feel my life force as the currents and my spirit as the water…I am reminded that life is sometimes stormy, sometimes calm, yet always and ever-present and flowing.
I am humble.
I am grateful.
I am here.

Happy Thanksgiving Amig@s!!🙏🦃🍁 I am so Happy Thanksgiving Amig@s!!🙏🦃🍁 

I am so grateful that today I am offline, soaking in a gorgeous gratitude yoga practice w/ @greta_hill, and sharing good food, laughs and sweet moments with my 2 sisters 👯‍♀️ Our “little one” @dalismiro is here to visit and we are cooking up a mean feast in our home, that @sandra.m.miro and I have been blessed to be in for a full year now. We are so grateful to call this beautiful land of Kingston “home”…land of the Suquamish and the Port Gamble S'Klallam people, land of the bald eagles, blue herons, otters, orcas, seals, mountains, forests, and an abundance of water…we are surrounded by magic, and we feel truly blessed ✨🙏✨

What a journey this past year and season of life has been!! It’s been an intense year full of so much growth & growing pains, massive gains and profound losses. I’m grateful for the stretching and heart opening, and all the many blessings in the midst of the many challenges…

Sending love and wishing you all a moment of peace…may you soak in the blessing energy of gratitude - today and always! 🙏💖🙏💖🙏
