REFLECTIONS
A Note on the Journey
My work over the past seasons has been deeply shaped by the writings of Bernadette Roberts. Her articulation of the interior journey gave language to experiences I trusted but could not yet name. For that, I remain profoundly grateful.
What is unfolding now is a pivot from that year with her. The blog will still be reflective in nature, but focused on different material. Something lived more explicitly in the body, in relationships, and in the ordinary moments where patterns reveal themselves and something new becomes possible.
I find myself at a threshold. There is energy here, curiosity, creativity, a sense of alignment, and also a necessary unknowing. Rather than certainty, what feels most faithful is attention.
In this season, my writing and work are pivoting toward presence as a lived reality, often through the lens of the Enneagram, not as a system to master, but as a doorway into embodiment, awareness, and honest engagement with life as it is.
This space will continue to reflect on the inner journey, but with a growing emphasis on how that journey shows up in real time: in the body, in conflict, in growth, and in the courage it takes to stay present when old strategies no longer serve.
If you are sensing a threshold of your own, you are welcome here.
Am I in Contact?
The question Am I in contact? is not directed outward towards anything, not to a person or the circumstances of the day, but instead it is directed at something more interior and more primary than that. It is directed at contact with myself. The question invites me to return to the life I’m living from the inside. This feels important because contact with myself is the only place from which anything else becomes truly available.
Who is Left When I Am Gone?
Transformation isn't about fixing the personality; it's about learning that you can survive its softening.
Threshold Moments and the Call from Within
At certain points in life, we sense when something no longer quite fits. Nothing may be obviously wrong, and yet the way we are meeting life no longer aligns. These moments are threshold moments—places where familiar ways of living no longer work, and a different kind of response is being asked of us.
God Immanent in Man - Paragraph 1
When the Presence that lives within us feels more like a black hole than a light, how do we trust it? This week I explore both Roberts and Metz on the terrifying grace of the unknown, and the quiet beckoning that can reshape a life from the inside out.
The Unfinished Self: Embrace Your Lifelong Project
Have you ever noticed how our world encourages constant acquiring, equating “more” with “better”? This belief shapes how we approach personal transformation as we often think it’s about gaining something new.
In reality, transformation is about letting go and discovering what is already within us. Rather than accumulating, transformation is the process of moving from doing to being, of uncovering our true nature.
