I Am Good (a poem)

Mostly, I know I am good for how delightful it is to be alive. For the wonder I feel and the hope that just won’t leave.

Naudline Pierre

Happy full moon and lunar eclipse in Libra, Sacred Heart. 

As a Libra Rising myself, this eclipse happens to land in my house of identity, so this morning as I sit with my sencha green tea, I'm asking myself where I've been mistaken about who I am. Where there light inside me has been eclipsed and distorted. Where I've boxed myself in. Where I've let the judgments,  opinions,  projections  and even the validation of others shape my self concept. Where I've been confused about my own goodness.  

I am choosing today to anchor back into the Truth and to see myself clearly. 

To let go of the illusions, spells and distortions that hinder my clear sightedness. 

To remind myself to experience the world from the inside-out, because when I do, the Essential goodness of my Soul is more saturated and vibrant than the gaze of another could ever be. 

To find 
Heaven on Earth
right here 
inside me. 

I Am Good (a poem)

I am Good  
not in any moral sense.
I am Good 
not as a judgment 
on behavior
or impact
or impressions.

Lord knows I have enemies.
The misunderstandings are 
much more than the 
being met. 
Oh, the harm I’ve caused
Do I know it.

Even so
I know I am Good.
I know because I’ve 
experienced myself
I’ve experienced life 
As Me.
And life as myself? 
It’s just 
so  
so good.

I experience it all 
just as I am meant to.
I savor the sweetness of fruit and 
sniff the pasta in 
fully with a big belly breath 
before I take a bite!

I shout,
“Oh my God
look at the sky!” 
when she paints herself sherbet.
I recoil when the 
words are nasty and 
I’ve withered due to abuse. 
I shrink when necessary
to protect my heart
and I know when it’s 
safe to dance
to sing
to let others see my shine.

Mostly, I know I am good
for how delightful it is 
to be alive.
For the wonder I feel and the 
hope that just won’t leave.

I’m not good 
in any moral sense.
For who can quantify that?
I know 
I am good.
Because if you see the world 
not as it is
but as you are— I must admit 
Heaven is right here
Inside me.

I pray you find Heaven on Earth, right here inside you.

Everything Belongs Season 3—

Season 3 of my podcast Everything Belongs dropped this month! There are 2 brand new episodes:

Healing from High Control Religion & Relationships With

Dr. Laura Anderson

My experience with high-control religion, as well as an abusive family system was the template for a self-concept rooted in shame. Reclaiming my Essential Goodness and peeling back the programming of being bad, evil and wrong has been the journey of my adult life. I’m thrilled to share this conversation with Dr. Laura Anderson.

Social Media Sovereignty with

Cody Cook-Parrott

I always find myself enamored by Cody’s words and insights around codependency and addiction. Because codependency is an addiction, and because all forms of addiction keep us from our sovereignty, I find their insights to be particularly aligned with my own experiences. 

In addition to their wisdom they share on how they left social media, addiction recovery & codependency, they are also a wealth of knowledge around writing, queerness, creativity and the importance of personal narrative in our work.

You can always find the podcast on Spotify and iTunes.
