Welcome to Soft Human Words
Mahalo—thank you—for being here.
Why did I create Soft Human Words?
Throughout my decades of writing—whether crafting horoscopes, publishing books on astrology, spirituality, divination, and magic, or sharing reflections on my blog -one thing has remained at the core of my work: the soulful journey of this vulnerable human. And with it, this question:
How can we navigate this wild ride called life with grace and magic?
To me, the world often feels anything but soft.
It can be loud, distracting, chaotic -overwhelming, especially as a sensitive, introverted, and energy-attuned empath. I know this all too well.
But I also know this: The noise is not who I am. It’s not how I want to live. I get to create the world I want to live in.
One way I do that is through words. I craft them with intentionality and care. You’ve probably heard the phrase:
Words are magic -that’s why they call it spelling. Spell-casting.
I choose my words wisely.
So let’s be soft and human, together. Let’s also be Divine.
How do you, as a vulnerable human—the one who gets confused, suffers, and navigates so. many. strange. things—also remember who you truly are?
I’ve sat with this question for a long time. I’ve studied with teachers and healers. I’ve studied the stars. I’ve studied myself.
My answer is twofold:
Feel what’s real. Honest acknowledgment of what we feel sets us free. The truth will set you free isn’t just a saying -it’s a way to stay connected to your humanity, energy, and authenticity. Truth clears your energy.
Ask for help. We aren’t meant to struggle alone. We are meant to call on our Divinity -for magic, miracles, synchronicity, and grace. (Honestly, my books are a window into how I do this life. I’ve created a life beyond what I ever thought possible, and I share my strategies in all my books.)
I believe our task on Earth is to release everything that keeps us from experiencing the Divine, right now, while learning, growing & feeling it all.
Let’s do this, together.
"You get to be magnificent and still be working your s**t out."
