Exton Massage and Movement

Sitting outside in the nature
Legs looked so different 16 years ago.
It’s been so long I don’t remember my life before.
I woke up this morning and thought about the baby that was born this day 16 years ago that our midwives were tending to.
Today is her 16th birthday.
And today feels like my 16th re-birthing day.
And I don’t mean in a come to Jesus moment.
A paralysis returned to come up for healing in this lifetime.
I get a redo,
in a funny nervous system, itchy way.
Becoming powerless and given only my breath as a tool to make it through each moment, things happen.
Big things
It’s a huge healing process.
Today felt miraculous and so tender ❤️

Thank you for@your facilitation

And happy stroke-iversary to me!

And all of my leg tattoos were done by another soul sister all within the past 5 years

Puerto Rico recharge!
I spent the last week with my two teenagers exploring San Juan and Vieques.
It was so perfectly familiar to be back in the tropics.
Warm winds, horses, chickens and the beach!

Happy SEVENTEENTH birthday to this beautifully spirited, full of love, nature seeking girl!
I am honored to be your mother
Witnessing you grow and evolve over these years has been a joy.

Thanksgiving family shenanigans on a Sunday before the Thursday ❤️

Yeah for a new dedicated work space!
It is such a gift to be able to spread out space and have a dedicated place for working and studying.
As a result I’ve had a very focused and productive day doing mailing list data entry (and believe it or not,
I taught myself how to type doing that work for my mom in the mid 90s!)

And that’s a wrap!

Scenes from the week.
immersion in the Catskills
As of the time of this posting there are 24 hours to go, and so much love in my heart already.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There have been some beautiful sunsets this week.
Sharing with my boy, who is now very clearly taller than me 🤪

A few snaps of things I saw in New Hampshire last week 🌅❤️🌈

Seconds after waking up from a dream.
I felt calm, at peace and a bit confused.
I have been questioning dream state vs. wake state since my early 20s reading J. Krishnamurti.

Teaser in nature.
All made in the beauty of the natural process.

Processing that energy through my body.

New sign for the 🚽

Today marks 15 years since I had an ischemic stroke.
I was pregnant with my second child, 26 years old, living in Belfast, Maine.
I spent my 27th birthday as a patient in the hospital in Portland, Maine.
I wouldn’t wish anything different in my life, as here I am, living a life of gratitude, appreciation, and acceptance of all that is and all that will be.
My world was shaken to its core and I’ve spent the last 15 years figuring out how to live each moment as the gift it is.
Presence.
It’s a practice.
I don’t always get it right.
But I do the best I can with what I’ve got.
Be kind to yourself, your body, and the people in your life.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

What the woods show in spring

Amazing night to see band.

More magical than anything was seeing the look of awe on my girl’s face watching play her electric cello. So inspiring.

I have been wanting to share the magic and talent of these musicians with Ru for so long, and so glad we finally got to see them perform. Thank you thank you thank you to these talented musicians. Thank you universe for giving us this opportunity!

April sights

I’m was a nail biter game last night! Double overtime, 76ers lost 😞 but so awesome to be there!

Things my eyeballs have witnessed in recent weeks.

Come join me on March 3 for some foot love!

If you have feet and you wear shoes, this one’s for you!!

Just had to

Just a reminder
Anything IS possible

My baby girl turned 16 years old yesterday!

Had some fantastic times with my (not so little) kids this week.
Took my girl to see Pentatonix in Hershey and it was amazing.
Took my boy to a 76ers game last night and that too was phenomenal!

Yay for winter break!

Come support small local businesses!
I’ll be offering chair massage in addition to many other great treats to find.
hope to see you then!
