Welcome to my renewed blog! It is a pleasure to be writing again. This post was originally shared on Substack. Follow me there for audio files that accompany every new post!

Long, long ago, I began a blog. My website, at the time, was DragonflyBay. I used this image as the welcome post, along with a quote by Hafiz.

Nothing evolves us like Love.

~ Hafiz

I stand by that. I don’t know anything that evolves us like love. Do you?

Here we are, eons later. I feel I have lived many lifetimes since that first experiment with blogging, and I feel called to write regularly and publicly again. What do I say this time?

Tonight, as I write these words, my eleven year old son is asleep two floors below. I feel tired from the day of waking early to watch the lunar eclipse and having full rounds of responsibilities until now, when I finally have a moment to write. It is important to my heart that I do so, and I am choosing to follow through.

What do I say in a world that is so quickly changing? How might I encourage inspiration and positive action? What is positive action anyway, truly? How do I share presence through words? And that young woman I once was… lifetimes ago, drawing with a stick in the sand at Puget Sound… what does she want to say? How is she living in me today?

Let’s find out, step by step and movement by movement. Let’s discover the gestures deep within that express emotions intuitively. With each breath, life unfolds. Thinking happens, and spiritual wisdom embedded into everyday life is revealed consciously. Walk this path with me… I would love your company.
