The Ritual Cabinet N°13: I Asked for My Crystal Back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I asked for my crystal back. Yep, I really did.It’s a green-and-violet fluorite point, a crystal I had given away that carried a very specific memory of my dad, and after a few months I realized I wanted it back in my own hands. I cannot remember another time in my life when I have asked for something back after giving it away, which is probably why the whole thing still makes me laugh today.If you know me, you know that I collect rocks, shells, twigs, pinecones, crystals, gemstones and anything
Today’s Lens N°10: A Yes from France (opens the original)
Read excerpt
FINALLY.Thank you, France.Wow.For one full year, Maison Rituels du Jour has existed in this strange grammatical tense: if France approves it, when I’m allowed to begin, hopefully, eventually, maybe, fingers crossed, and I’ve been writing from inside this waiting room, which at times has felt like actual purgatory, or at least what I would imagine it to feel like, waiting to be called up to heaven and, in my case, given a yes from the employment ministries.

The Reiki Review N°8: Holding Yourself Together (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re all held together by something.Stress has a peculiar way of revealing what that something is.Stress doesn’t literally live in one place, but chronic stress creates measurable changes throughout the body and mind. Stress rarely stays in our thoughts alone. Over time, it can shape the way we think, feel, and move, keeping the nervous system on high alert, tightening our muscles and fascia, changing the way we breathe, contributing to jaw and joint tension, disrupting digestion, straining the
The Ritual Cabinet N°12: Bureaucracy & Broken Cookies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are certain ideas that sound wonderfully simple until real life gets involved.One idea goes something like this: All suffering is caused by being in the wrong place. If you are unhappy, move.I wish that were a true statement because, while it’s certainly seductive, it’s also rather grandiose, and the first place my mind immediately goes is to victims of domestic violence, who are indeed suffering but most often don’t have the means or the option to simply move, not to mention the countless
Mini Manifesto N°15: Mom and I Stayed on Mrs. Prada’s Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Disappear for a month, and life refuses to organize itself into a single lane when you come back. I’m sure most of us have felt this. All of that blissed-out holiday energy seems to disintegrate just like that, and you’re left wondering how on earth you’re supposed to hold onto it once real life comes knocking again.I had imagined coming back eager to write (after a month away with my family), but in truth, I’ve been dreading it. Instead, I’ve spent the past week staring at a blank page. Somewhe
