mi gente... Each one of us are mentors, teachers, healers... We may not think or look at ourselves this way... but it is the truth. There is always someone watching, paying attention, absorbing from your example... What kind of example or reflection are you? What kind of reflection do you want to be? ~lil wolf … [Read more...]
Time: 1:00pm Location: Coney Island Beach The beach has been calling me for weeks and here I am with my toes still wet from swimming in the water a few minutes ago. I honestly do not remember the last time I swam in these waters. Many childhood memories are playing back in my mind. Feels sort of like a slide show as different scenes flash by me... Mostly being here reminds me of family, of being with my family and growing up on this beach. Wow, so much has changed... I look out to the sea and remember seeing this same vista with the eyes of a little girl. For that moment, I am … [Read more...]

My dad's passing on November 10th, 2009 had a monumental impact on me. What do you do when the only person in this world who "sees" you is gone? I felt lost, abandoned, and scared. Despite being blessed to have so many loving people around me, during those moments, I felt like my life had lost its purpose. I realized that many of the things that I did and wanted to do were connected to my father. While there was definitely a part of me that wanted to run, hide, and even die, the other part of me knew this thinking wouldn't serve me or his … [Read more...]
What is a Soulfuldancer? A Soulfuldancer is a lover of life, of dance, of love, a lover of the present moment. Soulfuldancing is communing with your divine self, your higher self. It's when ego disappears and you become one with the divine. It is bliss. It is joy. It is peace. It is all knowing. It is meditation. It is creativity. It is oneness. After my first session with Rosina, many realizations started to surface for me. The reason I've been afraid of spiritual communication is because spirits have been trying to communicate with me my whole life. A witch doctor once told my … [Read more...]
"Is there a reason for your visit today my dear?" inquired Rosina, my Spiritual Adviser. "Yes, there is... I'm afraid. Well, um I know this sounds silly, but I am afraid a spirit is going to talk to me." As I heard myself utter one of my most private confessions, I felt a sense of relief. For most of my life, I have been afraid to sleep alone at night. Over the years, I have asked family, friends, lovers, and boyfriends to stay with me the night. I have lost count of how many times I have slept with the lights on. Why was I so afraid to sleep in a dark room? Well, it all … [Read more...]
It was one of those weekday mornings, when you think about skipping work and staying in bed. After fantasizing about this for five minutes, I snapped myself out of it, and gave myself a pep talk. "Ok RA, you need to get up. Lets go have a productive day. Think good thoughts." Well, that didn't fully convince me. What helped was the compromise I made with myself afterwards, "Ok, if you get up, you can stop by your favorite cafe' and treat yourself to a cup of coffee." Yes, that worked! It was just the motivation I needed to jump out of bed and start my day. Along my three minute walk … [Read more...]
