Loves…

The gratitude is mutual.

You don’t have to go to Cairo to have these revelations… but evidently, I had to. Some of these learnings are deeply personal. All of what I’m attempting to translate is beyond words. There are layers I can’t describe. This feels like going braless at my art opening. But this is me, and this is my art.

This week, I’m sharing what it was like to stand before the Sphinx, chest pressed to stone, receiving an ancient and unexpected healing.

In this episode:

What The Sphinx told me about gratitude—it changes everything.
A French tour guide unknowingly confirmed my prayers at the Temple of Horus.
Why problems need to be brought to the altar to be solved.
The answer I received about the heartbreak of the world.
