My Letter

Illuminations from the Heart is my weekly subscription letter.

February 18th: Experiments in Solitude

In these weekly explorations, I reveal my innermost thoughts, deepest reflections, challenging trials, and personal epiphanies as I explore what it means to attempt to live authentically with awareness and compassion in a turbulent and troubled world.

Sometimes, my words are interwoven with inspiration and stories from the great wisdom traditions. Sometimes, they spill out raw and straight from the heart. Other times, they contain practical, down-to-earth guidance.

Illuminations from the Heart will give you pause for thought. It is inner nourishment to encourage and strengthen you as it simultaneously lights up your own path of personal evolution.

Excerpt: “When your heart is so exposed, you may spend an entire lifetime trying to hide your vulnerability, discount your fragility, and steel yourself against the harsh realities of this world. The epitome of contraction, which ultimately takes its toll.

Adopting a campaign against injustice, you may pour yourself into saving the world – or some segment of it – when you aren’t even able to save yourself. You may don the guise of a leader silently quivering every step of the way. Or remain embroiled with the mental to avoid sensing emotional/body pain.

Your body may turn on itself in the form of allergies, auto-immune disease, traumatic stress, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, environmental sensitivity, cancer or endless other ways. It cries out, “Please learn to love and value yourself. Appreciate your sensitive heart.””
