Explorer
I’m an explorer. Many people might misconstrue this trait as being a symptom of a fickle heart, a flighty soul, a disingenuous mind. Of course, I’m none of these things, but people tend not to like it if you’re all in about certain things only to cool then disengage over the things that they’re still […]
Wheel of Life
It’s best to think of life’s journey not so much as a straight line filled with the milestones of accomplishments, but as a spiral where each year brings you back to the place where you have been before, granting another chance to connect to your soul’s mission. Of course, this only makes sense if you […]
Wanderlores New Year
The New Year for many Wanderlores is most often marked at the time of the Apple Harvest. The Eternal Clock by which they make their calculations is not quite in sync with the dates set by the SolLuna calendar used by those in the icon worlds. Thus, the new year’s celebration either bids farewell to […]
Why I Keep the Portal
I want people to believe in the Magic again I want people to wonder at those things that defy explanation I want people to believe in the creativity that lights their soul and the passion that guides their heart I want people to embrace the serenity of nature so that they can always be connected […]
Sing the Song
Sing the song that makes your soul dance Not the one you learned growing up Nor the one you memorized in school Discover the song that makes your soul take flight Make it your anthem and sing! —Jellybean Reds, Creator of Little Creatures
Chaos Theory
Chaos creates change. I write this because too many people believe that happiness comes from striving after perfection. Lives must be instagram-ready to be worthy. Yet, instagram-ready lives are rarely interesting. The biggest secret that truly well rounded people won’t tell you—unless they think you’re mentally ready for it—is that true happiness only comes once […]
Dancing with Time
At the time of the Wanderlores New Year, I always like to share with those of you who are uninitiated a little about our ways. I know that getting to know the Wanderlores will help you understand not only me but the aesthetics of how I live my life in the Creators Realm. During the […]
The Wanderlores
The Wanderlores have a secret. The secret was even secret from me until I formally joined my mother’s clan when I was seventeen. The secret has to do with the names the Wanderlores call themselves, as well as the nomenclature they use to describe the sacred spaces they call home. The name Wanderlores refers to […]
Stories
Stories are powerful things. Stories can inspire us. They expose us to different points of view. The best stories touch our hearts and transform our souls. Stories, despite the pleasure they provide, can be tricky to write—especially if they are your own. None of us start our stories fresh. Indeed, we all are born into […]
Strangers in a Strange Land
If you know anything of my early years in the Icon Worlds, you would understand why I’m drawn to the Bohemian aesthetic. Both my mom and my sister Poppy were Wanderlores by tradition meaning they lived their lives according to the rituals required of active members of the Tribe*. Despite the Wanderlores proclivity for living […]
