What will you do with this one wild and precious life?
Mary Oliver
This is one of my favorite quotes and is speaking to me bigly in this particular season of my life. I have SO MANY TABS open right now. The creativity is flowing and the courage is right behind it, pushing and tossing and frothing and rarin’ to GO!
I began a YouTube channel years ago with lackluster results. On a mission to figure out how I can improve my receptivity, I researched for hours one weekend. Ah, yes. Now I realize that if there was something “wrong” that I could do, I did it.
- Create various playlists that don’t have anything to do with each other and confuses the algorithm — check!
- Forget to post for days and weeks so that YouTube forgets about you — check!
- Spend hours researching and never quite get to recording the damn thing — check!
- Record it, finally, and then spend hours nit-picking… oh, sweet rut of perfectionism, how deeply you pull me in and hold me hostage — check!
So, I’ve created separate YouTube channels – which is as much work as it sounds – but I am passionate about creating a community for awakening souls to gather, to feel embraced, safe, heard, seen, challenged, held accountable, and find that they are their own JOY.
It’s a damn lot, this being human and learning how to swim in the deep end of social media as an introvert hippie… a damn lot.
Luckily, I’ve got help and a lot of vision… after four long years of inward, I am now headed onward and upward. And I couldn’t be more excited-scared-terrified-eager to get out there.
Here. I. Come.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bud.

For the Love of All of us, I’m budding already… and here’s a hug.
Edge-y, joyful, pondering…
