Hello Reader, welcome to my latest Brownie Bites, and the last one for the next few months. Today I wanted to talk about living in alignment, and how this year's wood-snake energies support total transformation. The Greatest ROI is Living in Alignment with Our Authentic Self A hike at Jack London Park in Sonoma County, CA I was in San Francisco during the Lunar New Year– just a week ago (at the time of my writing this). We are in a Wood Element, Snake Zodiac year, and we are in the season of...

Brownie Bites 12.30.24 Hello Reader, it's the end of the year, and the end of an era. This was an intense year for a lot of us, and now is the time to reflect. Temporal landmarks, like New Years, mark times in our lives when we aspire to change our lives. To do that, it helps to rewind the year in our minds--what was awesome? What was especially challenging? What do we want to leave behind, and what do we wish to keep with us as we embark on 2025? Setting, and Keeping, New Years Resolutions I...

Brownie Bites 11.29.24 Dear Reader, Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Today I'm grateful to be alive, which isn't a given since I almost died 2 years ago after being gaslit by doctors. Turns out it was not "all in my head." Grateful to be Alive TLDR: I almost died because doctors dismissed my crime scene periods as “normal for my age”, told I was in perimenopause and should wait it out or get a hysterectomy. Turns out I had fibroids (one which ended up being 16cm when seen on an MRI).I almost died...

Everything You Want is On The Other Side of Comfortable I believe that everything we want is on the other side of something uncomfortable.I also do not think uncomfortable is a negative word. My definition for it means growth and change.Whether it’s the discipline of working out, hiking up a mountain, moving across country, or starting a new...

Brownie Bites 9.01.24 Dear Reader, Happy September! Today's blog is about the 5th season, reflection, and renewal. Saying goodbye to summer and embracing a season of renewal. September Saudade There’s a beautiful word, saudade, that I think of as late summer fades into fall. It is Portuguese, derived from the Latin word for solitude. My favorite definition of saudade is by Portuguese writer Manuel de Melo: “a pleasure you suffer, an ailment you enjoy.” To me, saudade perfectly represents the...

Brownie Bites 6.07.24 Dear Reader, Happy Friday. Today's newsletter is about perspective. Sometimes we require a different perspective to gain a sense of focus. I just returned from traveling, where I spent time looking at San Francisco from a different view. Seeing the city from this perspective shifted my views on the bay, my sense of belonging, and the realization for the past 20+ years, it was actually never about the city. It was always about adventures with people I love. Read the new...
