Care Package Archive

Rejuvenating and practical frameworks for creating Clarity and Wellness in all areas of your life.

Coaching is sacred. This space is protected. Gates and paths open to our guides. Gates and paths closed to anyone who wishes to do us or our loved ones harm. Dedicated Protector.

Care Packages🤲🏽

You know when someone who loves you sends you a parcel with a bunch of goodies in it? I’m endeared to the care package (in whatever form it comes) as a way of making, way of caring, way of sharing. There’s no shortage of possibility as to how a care package presents, what it contains, what assortments are collected, how it’s delivered, how it’s received, and what it might mean to it’s recipients.

I value that this orientation toward making and giving can bring together items that you don’t always see together. You’re simply giving what’s needed and what might land as care. I like when a care package is a sweet collection of some practical stuffs and also things for pure enjoyment (maybe highlighting the functionality of joy and pleasure to our survival); a mix of things you can use in the long run plus some things to use right now. A box containing socks, a nice notebook, some chocolate, a bag of rice.

I like both mail and creating with the intention to give, so the Care Package holds a place in my heart. I send the people on my list a weekly (email) Care Package 🤲🏽. I write them with the intention of both holding space for all the positive possibility that you radiate, and to be of real tangible use. Ideas that you can grab onto, that make a difference in your life.

I created the Care Package Archive to collect these packages all in one place. Sign up if ya wanna receive em straight to your inbox.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for supporting ME. Thank you for supporting this practice and business that is @homebodyorganizing . 

I remain a guardian of your healing and creative environments. In me seeing you and holding your potential and happiness as truth, the environment emerges… an externalization of both the mental and physical spaces that are conducive to your clarity, wellness, peace of mind, health, ideas, creativity, and hope.

The capacity/ability/capability/skill/intuition/care/intelligence/discipline… everything that goes into being able to facilitate for another person and to do it well… this is my highest value. I don’t believe anything is more important in all the world.

The work that I do with clients. I don’t try to control what it becomes. Instead I have experiences, inspirations, and intuitions as anchors for what it could be but is not limited to.

… Breakfast with a teacher, listening to ideas that were mostly over my head but that sparked a determined intrigue. How I felt the sky open up after that one conversation. 

… Those times when a friend just really gets it, whatever you’re thinking about and wanting to do. The productive, collaborative spirit that follows that felt connection. 

… Excellent technical knowledge and instruction. The type that might be hyper specific but that is relayed so clearly it makes better sense of everything else around it. 

… Reminders of who we are; every instance of fortification, rejuvenation, renewal. 

… When someone expresses themselves so real that it gives you permission to be and feel and see and think what you be and feel and see and think. To see rules and restrictions broken that you didn’t even realize you were unknowingly abiding.

Moments like this and more. The quality and experience of coaching I’ve been crafting aims to remember these potentials. Still, my inspirations are only secondary to being alive and present in the moment to read what’s needed and offer whatever that is as a reliable conductor or greenhouse or improviser for your creative hygiene and wellness. 

I don’t follow a script or anyone else’s roadmaps because I wouldn’t want to work with someone who is simply parroting ideas and methods instead of actually being there live with me.

I friggn LOVE my Clarity Coaching. It’s my current main 1-1 offer that developed in 2021.

Something I have put intention into is a quality of coaching in which I am the active facilitator, yes, yet graceful and nimble enough at holding that space so that it doesn’t feel like you’re being “coached”.

What it feels like is the ultimate collaboration and coming together of your ideas, inclinations, and aspirations; everything you are, and have, and do.

Why does this matter? Because whereas many coaching dynamics are spoiled with covert control, power, dependence, and hierarchical paradigms… I’m pointedly liberatory and against all flavors of not having the facilitatee’s best interest in mind. 

I don’t see myself as better than you or as having something you don’t. In fact I’m pretty sure you have all the answers. I’m literally just here to help it come through you. 

I respect you. You are absolutely amazing before you even start working with me. It’s allllll about youuuu. I love seeing you, getting to know you, watching you make discoveries and have epiphanies, and unpacking thought patterns and beliefs.

I do this work because YOU ARE AMAZING and I love offering you a space where you can remember, feel, and reintegrate that truth.


Thanks for being here!
Love you,
