Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Stars Sometimes Unfold
I went out recently for drinks with my friend Grace. We sipped delicious gin as the sun went down at our favorite bar in Brooklyn. I asked her if she was excited about her approaching birthday and she said she was more excited about the lunar eclipse. I asked her when it was. On her birthday, she said, May 26th. Well I’ve always enjoyed a good eclipse. She asked if I’d hang out with her then. Of course I would, Gracie.

Dear Gemini,
Dear Gemini, You share the sign and strengths of many powerful souls. This includes the likes of Laverne Cox, Naomi Campbell, Awkwafina, Natalie Portman, and Princess Nokia. May 20th marks the beginning of your season, and this transitional time is proving to be so for everyone, especially you. The moon this year is presenting itself as a Super Flower Blood Moon, and accompanying it is an eclipse. These occurrences are rare on their own, and this trio of circumstance within a singular period of time brings much to the surface, leaving much to be considered. Time seems to be showing you things have been stagnant, and you are realizing this has been the case long before the happenings of 2020 have come to a head. Use this as a chance. A chance to make what has been deep seeded in your heart, inherent to your soul, happen. It’s about time you really thrive. You are currently, and have been often, pushed to extremes that feel like your limit. Just now is it being recognized as a turning point. There have been many moments before this that have made you realize changes need to be made in the bigger picture of your life. Little by little adjustments have been made at times you feel an overwhelming urge to shift, yet you fall back into monotony quickly, and without realization. This time though, you see clearly the blueprints of the life you desire. The world is running into summer in a rush to return to normalcy. This is the opposite of what you need. Returning to normal life, returning to the things that leave you only patient in complacency. You need and deserve more and you are beginning to realize this deeply. The universe will hold you in ways that may feel like being stuck , but you, Gemini, must realize this is a means of protection, a means of keeping you grounded for the larger scheme to become a reality. There are things to be processed and healed before everything comes to fruition. Just have the knowledge that it will be, and it will likely sneak up on you sooner than you think. You may be taking action, but you also must remember to let go. Let go and heal from what is haunting you and what has been holding you back. Unhealed trauma presents itself in mysterious ways, most likely for you in the case of staying in place, letting the anxiety of what could go wrong overpower the possibilities of what could be. Move forward, with this in mind, gently and unapologetically being your most authentic self. Take slow moments to tackle the past pains, and move through them, gathering strength and lessons. Days and nights may feel lonely, may you be with or without a partner right now. This is not the time to focus on love - it is the time to focus on yourself in the truest sense of the idea. The universe is teaching you things, allowing you time to master the skills you are learning, and will need along your journey. Overwhelm is common in this time, so take a breath. The world has just been waiting for you to realize that your soul needs this as much as your mind and earthly vessel does. Remain vigilant in your life, as well as patient. Things will flow as they need and the larger change is just over the horizon, waiting for the pieces to fall into place snugly and surely. Go forth, follow the stepping stones your intuition is highlighting for you now, and you will be where you need and are needed the very moment you realize that is what is happening.

Fear and Love
As humans, we have fear and love within us. We look at a baby, and something instantaneously in us wants to take care of the cute and helpless human. A baby ignites passion in hearts that the parents feel a state of love they never felt before. One of my friends stated, “It’s the kind of love you always wanted.” The baby brings the truth of what we are to the light. We all have a beautiful love inside, waiting to come out at the right timing.

Young Children Kick Pigeons but Adult-Children Kick You
Wherever human beings gather there is ‘drama’. We can’t seem to help it. Everyone knows a person whose entire raison d’etre is creating and manufacturing ‘situations’. If you don’t know a person, it might be you.

A Space For The Spiritual
It's taken me a while to figure out my purpose on this planet. I've gone through many incarnations when it comes to my career - translator, teacher, baker - each one feeling like I'm playing dress-up, or a starring role in a particularly bad comedy where this one girl just can't catch a break or find her way in life. A very, very bad comedy.

Talk Therapy & Pure Speech
Every person faces issues. Sometimes power people misuse. Innocents sometimes take abuse. Our words can harm or they can help. People in pain send out a yelp! When we're weak we feel like a whelp. We heal with communication. All our cells need stimulation. Mind does heal with meditation. We help people get their thoughts right. A baffled brain is quite a plight. A darkened psyche just needs light. We do promote psychiatry. Brains bombard with variety. Psych-evals maintain clarity.

From a Cocoon to a Butterfly
I recently started working on a new project during my free time that focuses on creating art, while also incorporating plants, and flowers (dried up and using scissors). I am working on creating an art gallery, showing my healing journey as a survivor of abuse. Creating these pieces have been very therapeutic, and it makes me feel happy. As an adult I feel much more comfortable sharing my story, because I have been able to process, learn how to self-regulate, and start healing from those traumatic experiences. It has made it much easier for me to move through this world. I have not fully healed from those traumatic experiences but I have confronted them and I am at a point where I share my story. I know that I have a voice and my story deserves to be heard.
