I'm on The Universe Talks' mailing list which delivers a "message from the universe" to my inbox each weekday morning. (If you don't already get these, SIGN UP YESTERDAY. Also, you're welcome.) Today I woke up to: "Resentment, anger, and impatience, Megan, all have their place. Actually, they're absolutely priceless, revealing to those who feel…
I recently asked myself what I value most in a relationship. FREEDOM. Freedom in a relationship means a lot of things. For me, it’s room + support to grow individually. Solo time - both with myself and with friends. It’s not feeling the constant weight of responsibility to protect, heal, or teach…
Thank you for reminding me that the heart's purpose is to deliver oxygen to the sacred waters that flow through me, and put my focus on the stewardship of my body and spirit. -Pixie Lighthorse I was happy. Immensely happy. I woke up each morning thanking the sun, moon, stars, and my lover for choosing…

Two weeks ago, I sat alone with a glass of wine desperately trying to decompress from another week filled with dance classes, yoga classes, students of all ages demanding my undivided attention, rushing from one space to the next, and found myself googling "silent retreats." I stumbled upon Siddhayatan Spiritual Retreat. After browsing through their offerings,…
Transformation is painful. It’s often overwhelming, and I’m finding that a lot of times it feels like I’m falling apart. I know that spiritual, physical, and emotional evolution requires altering behaviors, habits, and sometimes moving past belief systems and relationships that no longer align with my purpose. But knowing these things are necessary doesn’t make…
I'm a huge proponent of throwing my thoughts, feelings, and general musings into a journal while I drink my morning coffee. I went through a rough period upon moving to Dallas in late 2011, and one of my New Years resolutions was to make it a priority to list three things I'm grateful for each day.…
