Becoming Fiercely Vulnerable
Mulch: the shit that makes us grow I am passionate about the shit that makes me grow. A little over a year ago I started a project called Mulch. Mulch started as a place I could be honest and tell my fiercely vulnerable stories about codependency, alcoholism and self-development. Instead of looking at my childhood experiences and my failed relationships as a hindrance, I wanted to look at them as something meant to nourish me, and support my growth. Something like mulch.

Eclipse Season and Mercury Retrograde for Gemini
Understanding my birth chart was the first time I ever felt truly understood. I only sought it out when I had thought I had met my twin flame and his girlfriend at the time shouted at him with disdain “She MUST be a Gemini!” She wasn’t wrong. I was and am a Gemini. To be completely transparent, for those who are interested, I was born on a full moon with my Sun in Gemini, my Moon in Sagittarius and my Ascendent in Scorpio. With this combination, in addition to my Taurus in Mercury, I have been described as a pragmatic, mysterious, passionate investigator. When I am invested in something, I will get the job done. So, hopefully I don’t fail you with this astrology forecast. I also turn thirty this year, under the super full moon lunar eclipse, so I am intrigued on how this season will interfere and add to my life as well.

All Thanks to Alice
I was once given this visual during a cord cutting meditation. Imagine you are holding a bundle of helium balloons. Each balloon representing someone in your life you have difficulty letting go. One by one, you focus on each person and then when you are ready, release the balloon from your hand and that person from your heart. As I closed my eyes, people I had loved and lost swayed above me. I held their face in my mind and felt the irrational unwavering loyalty I still held for them pierce my heart. My hands painfully gripped the strings of the balloons tight, unable to release them. Then, when I finally did, hot panic rushed to my face and anxiety filled my chest.

Welcome to Cafe Noir
The idea was intriguing. Meeting someone for the first time in a dark restaurant. A literal blind date. It had been two years since she attempted dating another person, and the idea of looking in another man’s eyes felt exhausting. So, maybe this would do the trick.

Time to Change
Fall has shown how beautiful and painless change can be. The leaves give us one last glimpse of warmth before trees shed, and with serenity, simply change. Innately, effortlessly, and what I am wanting to emulate, with purpose. It is a function that enables the tree to survive the frigid, cold of winter. We too, I believe, are meant to function like this, despite our varying levels of resilience, we are meant to change.

The Masks we wear in our Dysfunctional Families
Our family systems work very similar to a Bee Hive. There are jobs and responsibilities that the Queen, Drones and Worker Bees must fulfill in order to keep the hive functioning. The Worker Bees daily tasks, for example, change depending on where the attention is needed. They are so connected to their family system that their behaviour instinctively changes, so they can survive.

Healing is Selfish
Healing is selfish. It has to be. I would also argue that suffering is selfish, and if you believe in the law of polarity you’d probably agree. This idea, that healing is selfish, began with a term I discovered a few years ago when starting my healing journey that I now identify with. The term is codependency.

The Story that Saved Her
She didn’t understand the power of what she was doing as she was doing it. She just knew she had to write it down. He couldn’t articulate it to the doctors and she wanted to make sure they knew every last detail. She wanted him to remember. Her optimism made her believe that he would use this experience to conquer his demons, so she wrote it down. It gave her hope that he would survive. Eventually, the little black book became worn just like her hope. It had disappeared from her life and so did he. It was lost in the chaos and rubble and left to be forgotten.
