What Are You Willing To Strip Away?
These stars are not messing around. Today we have a full moon in Capricorn, otherwise known as the Guru Purnima to some. Guru, in its pure meaning, is a sanskrit term that signifies the one who dispels darkness and engenders light. There is also a “heavy” connotation to the term in that the teacher sits with much earned wisdom and thus grounds truth in the form of teachings. On this day Buddhists celebrate the first sermon offered by Gautama Buddha at Sarnath, India. And with the current astrological aspects circling this week, I am sure we will each experience the weighted importance of this moon in some form or another…

What Day Is It?
Every day is an opportunity to breathe again. To receive the blessings of this miraculous life is to be present to the extraordinary that exists moment to moment. Some days are easier than others to feel the expansive reach of that which is greater calling our hearts into greatness. What day is it? It is your birthday in the sense of a perfect day to celebrate your precious and purposeful existence…

Are Your Feelings My Feelings Too?
Today is a New Moon in Cancer. While the moon is nestled at home in this sign, there is a heightened emotional frequency that cannot be avoided. Right now is about feelings. You have them, I have them and at times, as different as we are, we may be surfing similar feelings. In historic moments such as this one in the US, we can easily feel strongly about the issues at hand and their impact. It is also an excellent time to observe ourselves and our relationship to these emotions…

What is Reasonable?
Recently when discussing politics with a dear soul, I was inspired by a new vision of possibility for the future of this country. Current day: Walking amidst the minefield of the glitched-out matrix of blame and celebrated ego-identification, it has been hard for me to see where we can possibly go as a nation, much less, as humanity. But I am not giving up and truly there is nowhere to go even if someone were to want to. The samsaric wheel continues to spin, evolving and devolving as we go…

Are You Optimistic?
Yes, very! While it seems the headlines continue to bring in the intensity of the times, I can’t help but feel optimism from within my own skin. I can see there is a way forward through the density of the egotism and violence that consumes much of our society and, for me, it begins with self-responsibility. If I can show up fully with a clear mind and without blame, then I can change my world. And this is exactly what is needed right now, a new world…

How Deep Does It Go?
I pull myself up from the internal mud of my mind where I’ve been wrestling with myself for days. It was bound to happen. I could feel the gravitational slippage toward an unruly arena of self that has needed some attention. How long did I actually think I would be able to skip through life carrying this deadened weight around in my psyche as if it didn’t exist? Too long I suppose. So here I am, back to some intense heavy lifting that has me pining for the lighter days of life…

What Do We Do Now?
In the midst of global and national anguished intensity that only seems to be bubbling over by the day, some of us ask ourselves, “What can I do?” Whether your personal channel of attention is following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the recent mass shooting in Uvalde, Icelandic glaciers falling into the ocean, the Heard/Depp trial, or you are attempting to stay a social 6ft of distance from the headlines; the word is out, we can no longer avoid our responsibility of civic duty.…

Eclipse Hangover?
Me too. The past week has felt molasses-like in nature, luring me into witnessing unconscious territory brought to the surface by the recent eclipse season. It hasn’t been pretty, and definitely not easy. Tired isn’t even the word for it, I have felt exhaustion run through me. Resistance is a decent word for it although it isn’t only that. It feels to me that there is a deeper invitation to actually change my behavior and way of being in the world. Am I up for it? I would like to say yes…knowing it will require some heavy lifting…

What Do You Think?
For me, it isn’t so much about what I think, it’s about what I do with those thoughts. Do I believe them? Follow their every whim across a spectrum of belittlement to grandiosity? Through my personal excavation of thought, many different thinkers are vying to shout into the microphone of my inner ear. Haven’t I learned already that having free will is a crucial component to liberating myself from these internal grade school theatrics? Maybe not if I haven’t been humbled enough to offer my free will as a gift to the only one who deserves it…

What Is Love?
Mama,
Thank you for who you are. For your grace and tenacity, your smile and your light. Your insatiable study of life and the power within it. For your courage to give birth to your daughters, offering yourself to give us possibility…the possibility to become our true selves. You’ve seen everything and your psychic knowing has always revealed deeper truths shared in the contemplative conversations we’ve explored in these years. I thank you for seeing me, for witnessing the highs and the lows, and for getting in the trenches too. It has not been boring😊…

What Are the Lyrics to the Songs of MYTHOLOGY? Track 3
Remember when you drank the cup of forgetfulness? The memories they went disrupt, now I fight for them. Through life I have always sought the answers to why I’m here. What’s my purpose beyond my dreams and why should I even care? It’s the lightness that I seek, not the darkness that comes from me. Now I’m gaining the strength with every step. For what? That I cannot see…

What Are the Lyrics to the Songs of MYTHOLOGY? Track 1
And I knew it was you, before we met. I was driving through the night towards an ancient duet. You could feel it too. You said you knew, while meditating, two atoms colliding. We came together, a vision was born. Because of the distance we were then torn. The karma crept in, it soon felt so hard. Yet we knew there was love deep in our hearts…

What Is Up?
Wow! After months and months of feeling the gravitational pull into my personal dark night depths, I am truly excited to be looking up again. I don’t want to put too much into this moment, if there is anything I have learned of late, it is to not have strong attachments in any one direction or to assume the best or worst. So here I am, joyful beyond, content, and…curious…

Where to Now?
Exactly. Good question. I found myself in tears many times over the past 24 hours. Tears of joy, tears of hope, tears of exhaustion…tears of letting go. I am simply amazed that in my current shedding process, there are more and more layers to release. I can’t even fathom who I am on the other side of this. It is both exciting and radical to contemplate…

Thank you for teaching me. Thank you for being…

Can You Tell Me the Truth?
I can tell you my truth. Clearly, there is a spectrum of truth from subjective to objective as well as a sphere of truth from the relative to the eternal…I am in awe of the malleability of what it means to be human. I feel as if a landscape in motion. One of volcanoes containing molten lava that erupt into a body of new earth on the hour. I feel stormy seas and torrential rains of tears and emotions swish me from skin to puddles in a moment's notice. I remember my breath and the song that runs as vital oxygen through my blood as I sing into an unfamiliar existence…

What's the Update?
It feels so good to have spent the last five days in studio sessions making extra ordinary sounds less ordinary! What can I say, the last several months have been quite unpleasant in nature. I can honestly say that dissolving an identity is fairly excruciating and less fun than you would think (lol). Although I am not in the clear, I am so grateful to be on this side of my recent transition from CEO to artist to…?

Who Am I? And, Haven’t I Asked This Question Before?
This question never goes out of style, especially during those longer plateaus of time and space where you actually think you know the answer. When was the last time you thought you knew? Who were you then? And where are they now? Does the you of 5 years ago still exist?

What Would You Give?
If you were on the precipice of real change, what would you sacrifice? And when I say real change, I mean from the inside of your bones kind of change. The change that ushers you into a new frontier of perspective because the old view no longer exists. People typically don’t like to change because it is deeply unpleasant. So you would have to want something greater than your own comfort for this to even be a valid inquiry. But what would happen if you could wipe the attachment from your own POV and truly give your full self in exchange to become different than you have ever been. Would you? What would you give?

Why Transformative Pop?
For those of you who know me, you’ve probably seen that I pour myself into my creativity with fervor. Creative license is a way of being, a lifeline from the depths of internal churn which I have come to know as homeostasis. Maybe I am not typical, at least I aspire to find myself outside of the box. Change is something I lean into rather than avoid. And as I continue to form my devotion and alliance to this transformative and beastly state, I can’t help but advocate for the “everything is possible” that exists within the radical realm of metamorphosis…
