My business venture actually began as a personal blog. I came up with the name EmBodyed Tides, based on two important concepts (also visible on my homepage) :
embody
verb – to be an expression of or give a tangible or visible form to (an idea, quality, or feeling)
tide
noun – the rise and fall of sea levels caused by combined effects and gravitational forces exerted by the Sun, the Moon, and rotation of the Earth
I hope to bestow with these musings on my blog an opportunity to take pause and reflect on such flux. For nothing other than to take pause in our waters, and remember that deep below, we all are anchored in the same foundation.
A poem each for my children. In the season of Gemini, I will write. Unknowing Observance not out of any obedience,rather in broad witness and absorption. Her own unpacking then, and carefulness,(not to be confused with timidness)after which she lights fires. Head cocked.One shoulder lowers and the other finds an ear.Golden locks drape longer on one […]

Who knows what day it is? What week of the year, or month? Is it still 2020?? These questions are part-facetious, part-serious. WHO KNOWS AND CAN THEY TELL ME. Today — well it was a day — and it was another one of those really challenging parenting days. Specifically the morning. BECAUSE WE’RE STILL HOMESCHOOLING […]

Friday was a strange day. A weird day. I mean it was ‘fine.’ Okay, it was a harder day than most. I find myself doing that (see above). Trying to soften the difficulties by putting ‘weirdness’ in their place. I can say “it was a hard day” without self-shaming, right? Anyhow . . . the […]

It’s here. This novel coronavirus. It’s swept areas of the globe all over, some in plateau and others in decline. Some just beginning to ramp up. As the conditions fluctuate, so do the responses. The reactions. Sharp and harsh. Soft and apathetic. Neutral and dismissive. It’s wide-ranging reflection to witness. Perhaps not all that different […]

I wasn’t sure how to begin this blog post. I’ve been reflecting, worrying, meditating on, curious about, and ignoring a lot with regards to the flurry of what seems to be quite present all over the world: COVID-19. As we access the world 24/7 these days, and in part due to increased technologies & social […]

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” Mark Twain I traveled overseas recently. To India! From my ‘neck of the woods’ that is quite actually halfway around the globe. My main goal was to unplug, followed closely by holding myself accountable in […]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about writing. About writing more diligently (whatever that means . . . more regularly?). Thinking about writing with one specific focus, or continuing on with my wide-ranging kind of lens. After a little reflection, what feels most apropos is to be in the ebb & flow from how my […]

I came across a Carl Jung quote recently: “Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.” A Swiss psychiatrist from the 20th century whose early career is linked to Psychoanalysis and Sigmund Freud, Jung differentiated himself in the world of Psychology after developing […]

Have ever you noticed yourself saying something like the following: “I am so mad…and what’s worse is that I’m so mad at the fact that I am mad.” “It was so disappointing to hear my own kid say that about our house, when there are so many things about our life that others don’t have.” […]
