The giant Ymir is one of my favorite beings in mythology. From Nordic myth, the giant Ymir was the first being in the world, born out of the meeting between fire (Muspelheim) and ice (Niflheim). They converged out of a dark void, and as the force of fire and ice met, there was a great […]
Saying no takes some getting used to. The No I am talking about is the type where you are asked to do something you really don’t want to do. Your friend wants you to come over late at night, and says this is the only time available for her. Your job asks you to cancel […]
Sometimes I forget how important silence is. I was reminded of how powerful it is, recently through the movie Sound of Metal which I saw over the weekend. I won’t summarize the whole movie (watch it and read about it online!), but what amazed me most about it was the call to silence. After losing […]

If you’ve ever made an important decision that you’ve felt “sick to your stomach” over, this […]
If you’re like me, you never stop creating and reaching for the stars. When I wake up everyday, I am excited to live my life and feel in stride with my purpose. I never take for granted that I get to do something I love with my life. I love having ambition, but sometimes it’s […]
Most women can relate to the idea of resisting traditionally submissive roles. This seems to be why popular culture is so into the Goddess Lilith in recent years. Apparently Lilith was all the rage on the Sabrina the Witch Netflix series (first aired in 2018). I don’t know, because I just couldn’t go into the world […]
