A Poem for Stillness

I wrote this poem to capture an internal experience. Writing helps me experience my core imaginative, whimsical, and creative self.

May this poem support you in cultivating your own stillness, grounding, and delight.

Stillness

In stillness, I sit

My spirit drops

into my body

My timid feet

weary

like a dear who waits

and wonders

do I want to be here

The earth answers

a pulse of buzzing energy

like a drumbeat

up through my feet

you are alive

In stillness, I notice

My back relaxes

My ears open, they hear

the rhythmic hum

of the cicadas

Soothing me

And I let them

Do you want to stay connected? Let me send you letters

I send out monthly letters connecting my perspective and life experience (and those of my clients) to the topic of food, eating, bodies, and self-image. As a highly sensitive woman, I hope you'll see glimpses of yourself in my words, even if our life experience is very different.

A lovely former client once described me as, "such a kind and gentle presence" and that I "meet people where they're at and give them the space and compassion they need to grow," which is one of the nicest things anyone's said about me and I try to live up to everyday.

When you sign up, I'll send you the starter guide, "The Real Reasons You Binge Eat & What to Do Instead" to support you in to moving out of stress and emotional eating patterns. In future letters, you'll get access to scholarship opportunities and early invites to new offerings.

Thanks for wanting to be a part of my world!

I’ll never share your email, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
