One week back in the states, and memories from Japan ring clear in my mind—like most things do once we step away from them. 🎋This is from a cold and rainy morning behind the Buddhist temple, Zozo-Ji, in Tokyo. It’s weird to think that Michael is still over there while I’m over here. Distance is a good thing—it makes us stronger. But it’s still weird being on the other side of the world without you. I know you’re sleeping in our bed in Nagoya right now. And I won’t be back home until the end of January. But this space is a gift. Distance helps us tune into gratitude. *Also I just woke up in Atlanta surrounded by cats and a fireplace. It’s almost noon. Not used to the time difference yet! #timetravel #buddhism #mayitbeofbenefit #womenwhowrite #yogaeverywhere #yogajapan #wildwoman #distance #womenwhowander #yogalove #femalepoet

My mom is so cute with her Agatha Christie books🔍📚. I’m staying in her bedroom downstairs at my brother’s while I’m here. And while she’s in Gainesville, FL with my grandparents. I’ll be seeing them in about a week and a half. All of the walls here are covered in books. They wrap around the halls on their shelves in this house—most are antique. I love words. I love reading e-books...but there is something so romantic about owning your own library. It’s easy to fall in love with real pages here. What are you guys reading right now? #agathachristie #bookstagram #booklovers #wordsofwomen #womenwhowrite #bookshelf #mystery #readingnook #womenwhowander #antiquebooks

When I look back at those dark times in my life—times where I could only sob. And even darker times where I could not feel anything—I see my joy and light now as the bravest possible choice I’ve ever made. Choosing to live and learning not to hold myself to something as limiting as suffering has changed everything. Because it is never just joy or suffering—it is both. It is always both. So here I am today walking around the place I grew up in Georgia mixing those feelings of sadness for things lost and learning now to laugh with joy for all that I have. I am grateful. I am laughing and crying. I feel it all. And I am grateful. #soberlife #fridakahlo #fridakahloquotes #mayitbeofbenefit #sobriety #wordsofwomen #wordswithqueens #womenwhowrite #quoteofthenight

“By cleansing your mind your soul will shine through.” ~Yogi Bhajan 🍃 Good morning. I just sat for 20 minutes. And I honestly think this is the key aspect of my beauty routine. Meditation started out as one of the strongest pillars in my sobriety. But now I don’t post about it that much. It just isn’t the main event anymore. Sure, it’s important, but so is washing my face. It’s about getting into the habit and making time for yourself to sit for even 5 minutes. So simple. So sweet and so, so important. Make time for the little things. #meditation #mayitbeofbenefit #yogibhajan #mindfullife #yogaeverywhere #yogi #yogalove #womenwhowrite #yogajourney #wanderful
