Week 3 – Recurring Dreams
#Dream Language Fridays 🌙
If a dream returns—night after night, or years later—it’s rarely accidental.
Recurring dreams aren’t problems to fix.
They’re conversations still in progress.
🐾 Happy National Small Dog Day! 🐾
Tomorrow is officially dedicated to tiny pups with big personalities, so of course I’m celebrating my sweet girl, Poppy. 💕
Small in size, enormous in heart, and fully convinced she runs the household.
Give your little furry friends an extra cuddle today. 💜

🌴 Happy National California Day 🌞
Yesterday, we celebrated the Golden State—its beauty, contradictions, and the lives lived in between.
If you’d like a first-hand account of life in California—the light and the shadows, the dreaming and the reckoning—I write about it on my Substack.
When people tell me their dreams, they often focus on the plot.
This weekend, if a dream comes to mind, try asking:
💭 What feeling did this dream leave in my body?
You don’t need to go further than that.
Listening is enough.
anywhere I can
dreams are coming soon... a book for anyone who goes to sleep tonight
book release April lst. pink full moon, can't touch into tie feminine any more deeply if I tried #NightFlights
The profound act of witnessing life leave the body and choosing to stay present through the end is a journey explored deeply in my upcoming book, *Night Flights*.
If these words speak to you, I invite you to join my list to be the first to know when *Night Flights* is officially available. 🕊️
If you crave deeper, more meaningful conversations—the kind that sit with you long after you’ve read them—I’d love to welcome you to my Sub.....
It’s where I share reflections, poetry, and truths that don’t always fit in a post. https://f.mtr.cool/xmbjzanmki

🌙 Grateful for this powerful early praise for Night Flights from author Tom Diggs:
“An unflinching look at the darkness we carry… a necessary map of emotional excavation.”
Coming 2025. 💜
