Is it just me or are women stepping into their power like never ever before? I’m obsessed with women lately. OBSESSED. (Don’t worry Nick – you still my number one boo thang). But I’ve absolutely loved learning more about the women in my life, and wider community, through following their journeys, having really deep conversations […]
There’s been an ample (read: furgin’ gigantic) break between posts. And I finally think that I figured out why. Shit got too dang heavy. Whenever I sat down to write – I would often tackle a huge topic (i.e. death and grieving; spirituality; goals and ambition; purpose and passion etc). That’s all well and good […]
Heads up – I’m a female. A straight female. This is the only experience and reality that I personally know. So this is where I write from. The post below talks about women and men from a very heteronormative place. I don’t mean to offend or upset anyone who identifies differently. Ok. Carry on. Is […]
On the eve of my birthday – and a rather milestone one at that – I am overwhelmed with an acute awareness (and aversion) of the crap and beliefs and thoughts and pressures that I am just … done with. So in bumbling Emily fashion – here they are. Shit that I’m done with (the […]
With the colder weather closing in, the daylight hours growing less and less each day, the winding down of late nights and early mornings, we find ourselves called to pull back, pause and be still. The Yang energy of summer, with its hustle and bustle, its ever mounting adventures, its allure of seemingly endless balmy […]
Do you remember as a kid doing the MS readathon? I freakin’ frothed it. A book nerd from way back, obvs. Essentially it’s a few months where you get sponsored per page or per book and you fundraise for Multiple Sclerosis research. You get prizes and incentives along the way and, obviously, get to soak […]
It feels crazy and has totally caught me unawares that I write this post in 2018. Twenny, mother flippin, eighteen. Everyone that I have spoken to has been flummoxed [my New Years resolution is to use more obscure words, henceforth flummoxed will feature … ad hoc] by the speed, ferocity and busyness of the final […]
There’s a fine line that I have seen social media and podcasts and documentaries tiptoe along as of late – and that’s within the concept of radical self acceptance. Accepting (and consequently loving) yourself is key to happiness and is the cornerstone of EVERY healthy relationship (friendship, lovers, marriage, whatevs). The whole premise of acceptance […]
After chipping away at this blog for some years now [I know, mindfuck right?] some of its showcased musings and ramblings start to blend into one. These posts that take on the shape and form of a sort of essay, teasing apart and exploring a particular theme or concept that’s tuggin at my brain on […]
