I have a confession to make. I’ve never really enjoyed a true farmers market.
“Why?” you might ask. Because they used to overwhelm me. I felt like an oddball, unsure how to approach a booth. I’d worry about hurting the seller’s feelings if I didn’t buy something. Hahaha, I know. But it had been way too many years since I gave it a real try, so I decided to venture out to a big, popular one here in the city. And you know what? I loved it. There were the smells: freshly brewed coffee, sun-ripened tomatoes, spicy chiles, and little whiffs of kettle corn floating on the breeze. As Patrick and I wandered the market, it honestly felt like the universe said, “Here. Take a breath. Enjoy this.” So I did. First stop: tomatoes. Rows of them, blushing in the morning light. Deep red, full of flavor. And then, there it was. This golden tomato with a stem curl that gave it serious attitude. It was like, “Yes, I know I’m the only one like me. You’re welcome.” I respected that energy. Next up, the flowers. It felt like we’d stumbled into a Fae market. Sunflowers, peonies, deep purple irises that brought such an “otherworldly” vibe, it was impossible to ignore. Then came the dried chiles. Basket after basket of them, like tiny fire wands waiting to be stirred into something that clears your sinuses and wakes up your soul. There was this buzz in the air. People chatting, laughing, tasting honey, squeezing produce, just... living. It wasn’t fancy. It wasn’t curated for Instagram. But it was real. And that’s where the magick is. Not in the perfect photo, but in the moment your heart does a soft somersault because someone hands you a flower or smiles like they mean it. Somewhere between the flower stall and the homemade mosquito repellent lady, I realized this is the kind of life I used to wish for. And now, I’m living it. It’s full of color. Full of flavor. Full of those tiny moments that quietly stack into something sacred. So here’s your reminder. Magick doesn’t always show up with candles or chanting. Sometimes it looks like tomatoes and sunflowers. Sometimes it’s just letting the day unfold without rushing it. And if you’re ever feeling off or disconnected, go to a market. Let beauty catch you off guard. Let yourself be that one golden tomato in a sea of red. The world will notice. The magick will find you when you look for it, Shakti

It’s been a while since I sat down to write—really write. The kind of writing where my thoughts flow freely, unfiltered and unapologetically real. There’s a rustiness to it, a clunky awkwardness that comes from letting the words sit still for too long. But today, I breathe. And as I exhale, I’m reminded that life’s flow doesn’t stop just because we’ve paused to catch our breath. It’s always moving, carrying us forward, whether we’re ready or not.
This morning, as I sipped my coffee, I felt that familiar stirring. A nudge. A whisper. Maybe it was the sunlight streaming through the window, or perhaps it was the way the steam curled upward, as if it, too, had something to say. Whatever it was, it reminded me that the flow is always there, waiting for me to dip back in. Lately, life has felt a little… noisy. You know what I mean? That kind of noise that isn’t external but internal. The hum of too many thoughts competing for attention, the nagging pull of things undone, and the quiet—yet persistent—whisper of "you should be doing more." But here’s the thing I’m learning: there is magick in the pause. In the stillness. In the decision to say, "Today, I’ll just be." And so, I’ve decided to stop fighting the flow and instead, float with it. To honor the rhythm of my life as it is, not as I think it should be. It’s a gentle surrender, one that’s been both liberating and terrifying. But isn’t that the dance of life? The constant balancing act between holding on and letting go. Today, I let go of needing everything to be perfect. I let go of the fear that my words won’t resonate or that they might be too much, or worse, not enough. Instead, I’m choosing to trust that the words I share will find the hearts that need them most. Life is generous, isn’t it? It’s messy and unpredictable, but it’s also overflowing with gifts—gifts that come in the form of small moments, quiet revelations, and even the pauses that feel a little uncomfortable. Like the moon illuminating the darkest corners of our being, these moments remind us to look closer, to pay attention, and to embrace the beauty in the chaos. Speaking of embracing the chaos, I’ve been diving into some updates behind the scenes. My website is getting a much-needed refresh, reflecting the ever-evolving essence of who I am and the work I’m called to share. It’s been a labor of love—infusing it with magick, intention, and clarity. As part of this process, I’ve also decided to prioritize my blog. Writing has always been a way for me to connect with myself and with all of you, and I’m excited to make this space one where my thoughts, musings, and moments of magick can live freely. So here I am, a little rusty but grateful. Grateful for the flow, for the pause, and for the opportunity to sit here, typing these words, knowing they’re a part of something bigger. A ripple in the infinite stream of connection and creation. To anyone reading this, I hope you’ll give yourself permission to pause when you need it. To trust that even in the stillness, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. And when you’re ready, the flow will always be there, waiting to carry you forward. Until next time, dare to do the big and little things... Love, love, LOVE! Shakti Hello Beautiful People!! I have some exciting news to share. It has been all over my Facebook page and other social medias. I am releasing my new meditation, "Illumination" on July 31, 2015. There is a story behind this work and how this came to be. It's very special to my heart and such a strong testament as to how the Divine works in our lives. I share this video with you with lots of love. Shakti ![]() Spring is here in the north! O happy day! The time to plant new ideas, seeds of intention, cleaning out stagnant winter energy and taking in the fresh, clean air is upon us. Winter really felt like it took its toll. Energetically, for a lot of people that I talked to, deep rooted healing occurred. We gathered in the womb energy to gestate and reflect. Now, the days are brighter and getting longer. It's a time to rethink what you thought was once true for you. Take a look around you. Is there anything that is no longer working but that you are merely holding onto for nostalgic sake? Time to hug it once last time, and kiss it goodbye. We are in the time of freeing what is no longer working and welcoming in with loving arms, what does! Take courage in these months to come to try out new things. Dare to venture where your soul is leading. It can be scary at times. But even with your knees knocking, you can do what your soul is pulling you to. Remember: That in which you are seeking, is also seeking YOU! Biggest loves! |
