I’m an acupuncturist, teacher, spoken word artist, writer, poet and musician. Not necessarily in that order. It changes from day to day, depending on my obligations and responsibilities. Or my whims. But I am/do all these things. Writing is the thing that gets me the most excited, and so here I am, to share with you my various writings in the form of poetry, spoken word pieces, journal writing entries and thoughts on writing.
I set a new intention this summer to write a poem every day. I read a new poem, jot down the various lines that inspire me, and then write a poem. Sometimes it is a response to the theme or idea from the poem, or a random thought that occurs to me as I am reading the poem.
This fall I became a certified Journal to the Self instructor and have begun teaching 6 week workshops. This curriculum is amazing, and offers all kinds of different journal techniques to work through problems, gain new perspectives, and generate new ideas. As a life-long journaler, I continue to be amazed at how reflective writing is so helpful, and has propelled me to new stages in my life.
Finally, I am a spoken word artist and musician, and a couple of years ago began creating short meditations in spoken word form. Initially, my intent was to create guided meditations, but instead I found myself writing short spoken word pieces to encourage and inspire others, and defined them as meditative messages. To be honest, I really love these short meditative pieces. They are 2-5 minutes long and are perfect for people who have difficulty settling down into meditation. I am excited to share with you these creations, and have an album coming out in 2024 called My Piece of the Sky, which features longer spoken word pieces with music and song.
I look forward to being able to share with you my work, and hopefully be a peaceful presence for you as you continue on your life’s path. Thanks for reading!
