First Post in Awhile… My Entre Into Legal Cannabis

Wow, even WordPress’ Dashboard is different now that I’m back attempting to blog… I am eating Trader Joe’s Thai Chili almonds over a 9 oz glass of Chardonnay at the Las Vegas Airport.  Truth.  So to speak 😉  It’s a far cry from where I was months ago when blogging about being an integrative lawContinue reading “First Post in Awhile… My Entre Into Legal Cannabis”

My Intentions As An Integrative Lawyer

I find myself at what feels like bizarre crossroads.  On the one hand, I have just completed what was one of the more challenging projects I’ve ever taken on — law school.  This accomplishment came on the heels of years spent engaging in political advocacy at the grassroots and state level.  On the heels ofContinue reading “My Intentions As An Integrative Lawyer”

Setting Intentions — It’s All About Alignment

Sounds cheesy,Continue reading “Need for Authentic Community — An Open Letter to Recent Law Grads”

Leaving Meds Behind…

He contacted me this morning because now that the bar exam is over, now that he has obtained employment, now that his life isContinue reading “Leaving Meds Behind…”

Trauma, Racism, Mindfulness, Justice

This video is a surface-scratching.  It’s almost like there is this subterranean tunnel that it feels like some of us humans can often do little but claw at through a thick layer of dirt.  Our goal is gaining access to what feel like pathways toward truth, whatever that is, although for me, it means accessContinue reading “Trauma, Racism, Mindfulness, Justice”

Vision from J. Kim Wright

This post is in honor of my friend and mentor J. Kim Wright.  Her thoughts have been posted in this blog before.  Today though, I offer her words not just as inspiration, but as a complementary piece in the puzzle I am working on conveying through HolisticToolKit.  This puzzle is the whole of our justiceContinue reading “Vision from J.
