Cultivating inner knowing
A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
Who am I beyond this skin that I am in?

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:
Success
December 1, 2025
I originally assumed:
I used to think success can only be measured through accomplishment/value as perceived by others.
December 1, 2025
These assumptions are changing:
Now I sense that success is defined for yourself and what you want for your life.

Although we kept missing each other in our calls, our voice note updates taught me how beautiful it can be to connect with someone with intention and no burden. Thank you for being patient and open to exploring new ways of connecting overseas.

Magical Moments
Kiwi Thanksgiving

Nov 28, 2025
Final goodbyes with friends, host families, and the people who changed my life for the better. I have always spent Thanksgiving with the people I love, but this year the people may have looked different, but the sentiment was the same!
Redwoods at Night

Oct 25, 2025
Rotorua is a small town around three hours away from Auckland. It is know for its geothermal activity, natural beauty, and its Redwood trees. I had heard from many of my coworkers that the Redwood at night walk was one of the most beautiful things they had seen - they were not wrong. This picture captures the moment of me walking through the trees, almost 200 feet off the ground, and watching the light show brightening up the night sky. In this moment, I was in awe of nature's beauty and how it was combined with thoughtful art. I was grounded, fulfilled, and reminded of my humanity in a way that only nature and art can make you feel.
Hobbit Hole

Sep 28, 2025
Last weekend, I was able to visit the Hobbiton movie set in Matamata, New Zealand. As a huge Lord of the Rings and Hobbit fan, seeing this in person was a dream come true. Walking by a hobbit hole for the first time made me feel like I entered into one of my favorite novels, helping reignite the kid in me who loved reading, exploring, and dreaming of fantastical worlds. This sense of joy is what makes my trip to Hobbiton my magical moment of the month!
