Bryan Stevenson is now one of the humans I most ad Bryan Stevenson is now one of the humans I most admire. 

I knew *of* him prior to watching the movie, "Just Mercy" which is based off of the memoir he wrote with the same name. 

Bryan Stevenson should be a household name, and perhaps he will be more so after this movie.

I'm in an Allyship/Anti-Racist group with a group of dear female friends and watching this movie was one of our assignments.

We honor him in our Rebel Sage Series.

"Bryan Stevenson is an American lawyer, social justice activist, founder/executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, and a law professor at New York University School of Law. 

Based in Montgomery, Alabama, Stevenson has challenged bias against the poor and minorities in the criminal justice system, especially children. He has helped achieve United States Supreme Court decisions that prohibit sentencing children under 18 to death or to life imprisonment without parole.

Stevenson has assisted in cases that have saved dozens of prisoners from the death penalty, advocated for the poor, and developed community-based reform litigation aimed at improving the administration of criminal justice."

What's a Rebel Sage? 

A Rebel/Sage Archetype 💠⁠

Rebelling from:⁠
~status quo⁠
~limiting beliefs⁠
~political oppression⁠
~subconscious conditioning…⁠
freeing ourselves to be the highest version of ourselves (which inherently lives within us)⁠
⁠while:⁠

~ living a life in full possibility⁠
~on a quest for inner freedom⁠
~connecting with our truths that are not tied to any fears… ⁠
discovering the Inner Sage.

Thank you, Bryan, for your heroic work and your service in the name of equality, compassion, and justice. 

You are a legend and your work has allowed so many to actually LIVE and to be free. Thank you.💙

I went to an Energy Healer today. I've been to m I went to an Energy Healer today. 

I've been to many different alternative body healers...when I was a dancer I was obsessed. 

Today was like nothing I had ever experienced. 

As much as I'm a talker, I knew that what I needed couldn't be helped with talk therapy. 

I have stuck energy and closed chakras and I can feel it. 

I will share more about the experience as I'm still processing, but she hit the nail on the head in so many areas. 

My Earth Star Chakra (the one below your feet that is essentially your docking station) was closed. 

My Root and Sacral Chakras were both closed. 

At one point she was doing Reiki and her hands were on my lower legs

I thought her hands were definitely on my legs but she was at my crown chakra doing sound clearing. 

She told me I was Sound Healer in a past life and that I am meant to be one in this life...through my voice. 

I feel different...a subtle but major shift at the same time:

🔹more aligned
🔹lighter
🔹clearer
🔹in my body

It's incredible to walk my path of healing...

my spiritual path...

my path back home.

My heart aches for the family of Daunte Wright. P My heart aches for the family of Daunte Wright.

Please don't tell me how many cops were killed last year or that "All Lives Matter"...

Just no. 

It's creating more harm with zero empathy. 

I'm in the process of really learning how to "Call In" rather than "Call Out"...

But now we must grieve, yet again, another completely unnecessary death.

And presently, I'm angry at THIS epidemic. 

Say his name. Bless his heart. 

No more.

"This new moon conjoins Eris, who represents femin "This new moon conjoins Eris, who represents feminine rage, while Venus and Pluto square. In English?

In the background of this "fresh start" energy remains deeper psychological stirrings. 

Aries is the sign that's all about thy self. So take time to be with and feel into yourself: your needs, desires, visions, goals, etc. 

And present yourself to what you are releasing, too. 

What you're no longer willing to settle for. 

What has expired. 

What's not coming with you. 

New moons are for emptying and emptiness. 

Before you rush in with everything you want to fill the void with, have the courage to be in the void entirely.

Happy new moon."

I love this concept of "emptying out", being IN the void and casting yourself into the open space in order to start NEW! 

The above excerpt is from one of my soul sisters and expert astrologist @jenniferracioppi

I would strongly suggest her new book Cosmic Health that is personally blowing my mind right now.

I'm a day late but I can't miss honoring my siblin I'm a day late but I can't miss honoring my siblings on National Sibling Day.

Being the youngest of these four amazing women is the greatest gift. 

It sure has made my life pretty crazy, fulfilling, packed with lessons, totally outrageous, and filled with the most memorable experiences. 

I look forward to many more of all the above☝🏽.

I love each of them more than words can express...💙

Happy Birthday to my best friend, my soul mate, my Happy Birthday to my best friend, my soul mate, my band mate, my shoulder, my ear, my business partner, my parenting team, my love! 

Vela said this morning that she couldn't ask for a better Papa. 💙

I would wholeheartedly agree.

We have been through the darkest and the most joyous experiences together, some of the most challenging times and the most enlightened moments, the downright weird and freaking most outrageous times.

You are so thirsty to learn, see and experience as much as possible in this life (and beyond) and I love how fascinated and curious you remain...
always seeking to understand and know yourself and the world as best you can. 🌌

And you still have managed to stay off of social media this entire time (so I'll have to show him this post). 

I celebrate this day and your existence to the utmost...I truly can't imagine my life without you. You have taught me what unconditional love really is and I've been touched by it at the deepest part of my soul. 

Love you more than words can express, my dear Noah.💙

Happiest of Birthdays to my Dad, a.k.a Pips. No Happiest of Birthdays to my Dad, a.k.a Pips. 

No one comments more consistently on my posts on Facebook than him😆.

But I love it.

And I love seeing his posts.

And if there is one thing about my Dad, it's that he never stops learning...ever. 

He instilled in me my passion and appreciation for our environment and our planet. 🌎

He recycled before anyone did. He busted me for having a party because he found the garbage bags of beer cans that I was planning on taking to the recycling center (they came home unexpectedly a day early).

In a fit of rage he had towards me because I lied and had a huge party (understandable), he managed to say, "At least you recycled!"

He instilled in me my love for music and the desire to play music. 🎶

He taught himself to read music and play these complicated piano pieces when he was almost 40. 

I didn't start playing music until later in my life and he set an example for me that I wasn't consciously aware of at the time. 

Not until years later did I realize how he impacted me and was a part of my motivation to play.

He instilled in me my obsession with humor and how laughter is the antidote to life (as you can see in this picture).😆

This is us at Muir Woods after a trip to Yosemite. It was my Dad's dream to go there..."An Environmentalist's Nirvana" is what he called it. 

When I wanted to watch a woo woo, law of attraction documentary, he watched the whole thing with me and didn't fall asleep! We had an amazing conversation afterwards about energy and perception and practicing the art of living. 

Pips, you are one of the most unique, intelligent, and hilarious people out there, or at least that I know.☺️ 

I couldn't be more proud to call you my Dad.

Ultimately, no one else can, unless you allow the Ultimately, no one else can,

unless you allow them. 

But the allowance we do give

is mostly unconscious. 

And when our brains were unable to perform critical thinking, 
everything from the ages of 0-7 
was programed as if it were the gospel. 

Artists, creatives, performers are effing conditioned to always look outside of themselves to calculate their worthiness. 

Just being human makes you susceptible to this. 

And because this is so ENGRAINED in our beings and a lot to unlearn,
just start to notice it.

Become aware of it. 

From there, YOU get to choose.

I had a major issue tonight posting this video tha I had a major issue tonight posting this video that I worked really hard on. 

I used to get frustrated and had the belief that...

*Things don't come easily to me and I have to work my ass off and massively sacrifice in order for things to happen.*

Tonight, I trusted the Universe that I wasn't supposed to post this video and I let the f**k go.

When you make a choice, over and over again, to no longer paddle upstream,

you release the oars and ALLOW yourself to flow downstream. 

It's difficult when you feel like you have to *make* everything happen by doing, doing, doing in the masculine energy. 

I'm not giving up, I'm just letting go.

Letting go does not mean giving up... This has be Letting go does not mean giving up...

This has been my mantra as of late. 

My brain has been hard wired to believe that, even though on a spiritual level I know that's not true. 

When you hold on, it's usually coming from our subconscious. 

Our subconscious keeps us safe,

and it looooooves the familiar...

because what it *knows* becomes "safe". 

Yet some of these things we hold onto AREN'T keeping us safe, they're holding us back from the truth of who we really are...

our fullest potential.

I can feel myself *hanging on* in my body.

How can I let go?

Move your body.

Get out in nature. 

Tell yourself:

It is safe to let go.
It's not giving up, it's giving myself a chance to actually be me.💙

And yet Self Love is not a frickin' light switch. And yet Self Love is not a frickin' light switch.

And when most of us hear, "Just love yourself", we never really learned *how*!

We are told to tell other people we love them but never ourselves. 

When we hear the words, "Love Yourself" some of us may think bubble bath or getting a massage. 

And yes, those are nice things to do for ourselves and they feel good. 

I'm not knocking that. 

But I'm talking about...
🔹the way you speak to yourself
🔹awareness of exterior validation
🔹being gentle with yourself when you defaulted in an old, destructive pattern
🔹holding space for yourself to do your shadow work
🔹accepting your body even when it's heavier or not in the best shape
🔹supporting yourself through whatever phase you are in

Self love can be buried under multiple layers of limiting beliefs and trauma, something you picked up from someone else as a child that deemed you not fully worthy of love. 

We ALL just need practice.

And it IS a practice. 

How can I choose love for myself instead?

What would that look like, feel like? 

When you ask your Self these questions, and LISTEN, the answers do show up.

The love is already there.💙
