🌿 Sunday Check‑In — Creating Presence (7/26)
This week has been busy as I prepare for my new piggy rescue, Hammy. If you know me, you know two things: I love pigs, and I’ve been wanting to rescue one for quite some time. I also decided to let go of all the goat babies this season. I was originally going to keep the girl and a buck, but after some soul‑searching I’ve decided to step away from the breeding program. As much as I love the milk, financially it’s been a lot. Hami I’ll be keeping the OG herd to live out their

Has this ever happened to you? I don’t think dreams “rewire” your brain in the traditional sense, unless you’re learning a new skill like remembering them or practicing lucid dreaming. Like any skill, that creates new neural pathways. More than rewiring,

🌿 Sunday Status — 5/17/26
This week has been pretty mellow for me — mostly catching up on chores and settling back into a slower rhythm. I also started a new in‑person class here in my little town, which felt really good. I’ve been craving some face‑to‑face community, and I think this will help scratch that itch. The goat babies are maturing right along, and before long the boys will be off to their new home. I’m keeping one very handsome buck and the little doeling. The other boys will be donated to

🌿 Sunday Check‑In Pranayama 5/10/26
This week has been an intentional exploration of how I use my time. I’ve been leaning into the law of three — active, passive, and neutral — learning, outputting, and reflective moments. I’ve noticed myself tipping into too much output lately, and I’m working on aligning my days so I have more space for study, as well as the neutral, mindless moments that allow new ideas to drift in… like gardening, tending to the critters, or simply being outside. I’ve shared before that to

How to Wake Up in Your Dreams + Overcoming FOMO | Sunday Status
Happy Sunday! Another busy week—and a long night! My last pregnant goat, Iris, finally had her kids. Or should I say kid. At around midnight, she delivered a massive buckling that clearly didn’t want to come out! Looking at his size, I’m still not sure how he fit, but I am so grateful that both mom and baby are doing well this morning. I am currently evolving both my YouTube channel and Patreon to serve you all better. You may have seen yesterday’s update about the new outdoo

Mirror of the Night - Dealing With Nightmares
If you dream fairly frequently , you will notice that sometimes you seem to be working through the problems and content of the day or even past problems. Dreams seem to have the uncanny ability to show us exactly what the problem is, even when we actively may try to dismiss it in waking life. This is neither good nor bad; it's the truth. You don’t have to have PTSD or even have to have a dream be scary to have your internal world reflected at you. For instance, turmoil in re

Dreams and the Energetics of a Yoga flow - Weekly Questions 3/8/26
1) What do you think your dreams reveal about your inner world, your state of mind, and your overall disposition toward life? In my opinion, dreams are multi-layered. They range from simple daily processing and wish fulfillment to prophetic insights and the exploration of unconscious desires. I’ve found that the more you honor your dreams in waking life, the richer your "dream landscape" becomes. This practice eventually allows you to direct them with intention or even engage

Finding your sparkle in the Magical & Diving into Authenticity
Questions answered for this week- 1) I feel blah about life. How do you recommend getting my sparkle back? I eat well and exercise, there just seems to be no joy? I recommend bringing the magic back in. Think when we were young and the whole world had a beautiful mysterious quality to it, perhaps even a lot of boredom before the screens existed, at least in my time. The world was full of imagination and dreams. Since I have quit smoking weed, a big part of wanting to quit was

You Don’t Have to Stay Stuck In Scarcity
Let’s talk about the scarcity mindset. All the little ingrained beliefs that we tell ourselves on a daily basis. Before we dive in, let’s also imagine that our individual reality answers all the questions we ask all the time. If we believe that, then we can also realize how detrimental some of the things we repeat to ourselves truly are. Questions like Why am I so lonely? Why doesn’t anyone like me? Why can’t I do anything right? Even statements like I’m so tired, I’m depress

Elusive Feelings
A secret of mine. I have horrible boundaries. Something I have been working on, well, since AA 13 years ago, because before that, I didn't even know there was a problem. Before that, I had limited access to my feelings unless it was self-loathing, irritation (with everything), and crippling anxiety. The good times were a blur in the pursuit of more good times. Relationships failed due to a lack of love. It just never was enough. You have to know yourself to set a boundary, an
