The other day, I got an email from a reporter from a national women’s magazine who wanted to get a few unsexy facts about sex. Who cares, I wanted to ask?

I don’t think I can bear another article that tells us that sex: increases your heart rate, decreases colesterol, builds muscles, burns calories, relaxes you, releases important chemicals and gives you a nice healthy blush. Is sex another healthy thing on your to do list?

If I should call this summer anything I'd be the summer of deep digging and random acts of sobbing. 

I've just completed the third draft my memoir, From Kailas to Kali. It's a story about my climbing inner and outer mountains, quite literally facing demons while searching for truth and personal power. It's the classic heroine's journey, of seeking it in all the wrong places and outside of self, but ultimately having to find it closer to home, through the body and wounds, and getting really intimate and honest with self in the underworld. There I happen to meet the great goddess Kali… and if you're familiar with her, you'll know that she cuts away any ego, attachment, fear and illusion that stands in the way of truth and freedom. My 'awakening' took a journey to the world's most sacred mountain in Tibet, a ruined marriage in San Francisco, and a rude awakening by the goddess who helped tear off my masks, drive me out of hiding and into true intimacy with my own sovereignty. Weeew!

Unraveling

Unravel, unravel, unravel. I am unraveling yet again. Everything feels off, nothing feels right, yet I can't point my finger to what it is. It makes me afraid. Afraid of letting go of a last tight grip on what I believed to be true, to be the way, to be the me. I am scared because I don't know what's beyond the unraveling. Mostly it feels like I'm outgrowing my clothes, literally and figuratively, and the storefront I keep (my business) no longer fits as neatly and sweetly. Clearly something has shifted inside, and therefore, something gotta shift on the outside. But what?
