Below is another entry from A JOURNAL OF LOVE. Inspired by my upcoming 3 month program ALCHEMY OF LOVE, facilitated with my partner and the father of our daughter, Eli Buren.

These are poetic memoir style journal entries of my heart’s opening into love. They are examples of moments of what I call “practice.”

A practice of opening, softening, pattern breaking, generational trauma shifting, meeting edges and beyond…

Thanks for the reshares, comments, and the new paid subscribers from the last one.

As mentioned a few more are coming for paid subscribers. I’ll keep offering monthly (at the least) pieces for all subscribers, with two to three extra pieces for paid subscribers a month.

Enjoy.
