An Alphabet of Affections
To truly know a writer is to understand the quiet, sensory fragments of the world that make their heart expand. Here is a living collection of the textures, rituals, and earthly magic that feed my pen and sustain my soul:
Of the Earth & Sky
🤍 Keeping my hands deep in the soil with the golden sunshine warming my shoulders
🤍 Stepping into the morning air to watch the sunrise and listen to the clear clarity of birdsong
🤍 Walking barefoot on the cool dampness of grass or the soft, shifting texture of a sandy beach
🤍 Wandering through nature, cloud-watching by day and marveling at starlit skies and all the Moon’s changing phases by night
🤍 The intoxicating aroma of petrichor after rain, the soft velvet of green moss, and sitting quietly beneath my apple trees
🤍 The dramatic, electric thrill of thunderstorms balanced by the comforting rhythm of heavy rain on a tin roof
🤍 Spontaneous road trips and planned adventures across the globe, singing at the top of my lungs in my car
🤍 Bright, joyful flowers that fill a room with fragrance—especially freesias, sunflowers, starflowers, jasmine, and lilac
🤍 The simple luxury of sun-ripened mangoes and the healing medicine of plant-based cooking and eating
Of the Hearth & Page
🤍 The infinite possibilities of learning, reading, and getting lost in the rhythm of beautiful words
🤍 Sitting by the glow of the woodstove, breathing in jasmine essential oil while beeswax pillar candles flicker in the quiet
🤍 The comforting delight of watching rom-coms and listening to the soaring brilliance of Mozart
🤍 Unwinding from the world with long, hot showers and deep, restorative massages
🤍 Laughing until my belly hurts and sharing long, long heart-to-heart hugs with the people I hold dear
🤍 Spending precious time with my loved ones and listening to the beautiful sound of my gorgeous husband singing
🤍 The gentle, grounding company of cats curled up beside me
Of the Spirit & Ritual
🤍 Intentionally cultivating a life rooted in pure kindness, meditation, and deep friendships
🤍 Holding a sacred space for heart-felt, deeply meaningful conversations that touch the soul
🤍 Embracing the profound gifts of silence and solitude to recharge my creative wellspring
Every story I write, ceremony I weave, student I teach, and cosmic map I read is infused with these exact frequencies of love, nature, and kindness. If your soul feels aligned with this space, I warmly invite you to explore my books or step into the sanctuary of The Oracle for a personal reading.
