Bio
Writing is a part of who I am.
I go back and forth between handwritten lengthy journaling and sitting here glued to my laptop.
As inspiration hits, I write and follow the intuitive nudge.
You'll see many sides of me here.
I hope you enjoy.

Time of Nectar
Dear Heather, Greetings of peace and love. I hope you are well and happy. I am writing from the retreat center where I stayed for the past week. I have been enjoying the serene atmosphere and the spiritual company of fellow seekers. I have also been practicing Amrit Vela every morning, and I wanted to share with you some of the benefits and experiences of this sacred time.
