The front cover of my heart’s work:
Go Vegan, Mindfully.
A love letter to ahimsa, truth, and the path of conscious living. 💚

It’s about coming home to yourself, aligning with compassion, and healing through mindful choices.

Big news…
My upcoming book is almost here.

This is not just a story—it’s a legacy.
A deeply personal journey of truth-telling, ethical veganism, ahimsa, and the quiet revolution of choosing compassion in a violent world.

This Mother’s Day, remember them too.
Cows cry for the calves they’ll never raise—taken for milk, meat, and profit.

No mother should lose her baby.
Go vegan.

From anticipatory dread to a flicker of peace.

From being dragged into the dark… to reclaiming a breath of light.

Today, my abusive ex didn’t get what he came for — even with the same discriminatory magistrate as last time.

I’ve been trying to stay afloat—trying not to drown under the weight of narcissistic abuse.

For over a year, I’ve been entangled in ongoing litigation from my gay covert narcissist ex. Narcissists often weaponize the broken legal system to continue their abuse, using it as a tool to control.

The frustration is understandable—seeing a leader dismiss the gravity of an economic crisis while indulging in leisure is infuriating. The image is emblematic of a leader detached from the suffering of his people, much like historical figures who ignored crises of their own making.

Elephants Desperately Try Bring Dying Calf Back to Life.

There are times when words are not enough to describe the sadness of the situation captured in this video.

The baby Elephant had been knocked down by a speeding vehicle. 😢

Pressure pushes out presence.

Mindfully note when pressure shows up. In doing so, its power is reduced, bringing in more presence.
