I woke up with a heavy heart this morning.

Today is my Grandmother’s birthday.
She was my prayer warrior—my first sacred teacher.
My connection to the Church.
Choir practice. Bible study. Altar service.
She’s the reason faith ever felt alive to me.

And while I’ll do something beautiful to honor her today, I’m holding deep grief—for her… and now for the passing of Pope Francis.

I was raised Catholic. Baptized. First Communion. Confirmation.
But as I grew, Spirit led me to ask deeper questions—
And I had to face the shadows within the Church:
The silence around ped*philia.
The shame and fear used to control.
The belief that only men could carry the sacred.
The colonial violence done to my ancestors in the name of God.

It broke something open in me.

I didn’t go deeper into Catholicism—I let go of what no longer aligned.
I took the pieces that still felt sacred—the prayers, ritual, the reverence, the love for Yeshua, for Mother Mary, for Mary Magdalene—and I made them my own.

Because every tradition, every institution, every soul holds both light and dark. And when we refuse to name the shadow, it festers.

That’s why Pope Francis mattered to me.
He didn’t get everything right, but he tried.

He washed the feet of migrants and prisoners.
Opened shelters. Shared meals.
He reminded us what it looks like to live with compassion—to be Christ-like in action.

And in his final message, he spoke of the growing contempt for the vulnerable—for migrants, the poor, and the displaced. That was his final stand. His last offering.

To my Catholic friends and family—may his legacy call you back to the heart of it all:
To walk like Yeshua.
To speak truth.
To love without condition.

Pope Francis, may your soul journey on in peace.
And to mi Lupita… te amo Reina.❤️

It’s my birthday week, and y’all know I love to celebrate by doing something special for the community!

This Thursday from 11 AM–1 PM, I’ll be posted up in the back room at @cafecorazonkc (Crossroads) for a sweet little birthday pop-up.

I’ll be offering 3-card pulls (past, present, future) for $42—tuning in, holding space, and seeing what Spirit has to say. Maybe even a little cleansing if Spirit calls for it.

Whether you come for a reading, a hug, a yerba mate, or just to vibe with me and soak in the birthday energy—I’d love to see you.

DM me if you want to reserve a spot or just swing through and say hi. Let’s fill the space with joy, intuition, and community.

See you MAÑANA!!!

I haven’t been able to physically leave this country in decades.
But through Spirit, I’ve traveled far.

Through meditation and astral travel, I’ve journeyed beyond borders—to places in this world and beyond it.

If you’ve ever joined me in one of my guided meditations, you know—we travel. We go deep into the Ocean. We walk through Sacred Lands. We rise into the Stars.

Visualization and astral travel are ancient technologies—used by our Ancestors long before there were passports or planes. And now science is catching up, affirming what many of us already know: when the mind and Spirit align, your entire energetic field can shift. You can feel, remember, and heal in realms unseen.

One of the clearest visions came to me recently, in a moment when fear was sitting heavy on my chest. I asked Spirit,
“What do I say to my people? What can I offer to those who feel stuck?”

And then I saw it—this tiny Seed sprouting before me, growing into a towering Tree. It reached so high into the Starry Sky I couldn’t see the top. The night was deep blue and endless.

As it grew, its Roots curled around me—like a cradle, like protection. And in that stillness, I heard a voice that was both thunder and whisper:
“Tell them that you come from the Roots of the Tallest Tree.”

So I am telling you now:
You are not stuck.
You are not small.
You are not powerless.

You carry the memory of Lands that remember you.
You carry the prayers of Ancestors who walk beside you.
You carry Spirit within every breath.

Shift your vibration. Call on your Roots. Remember your wings.

“You come from the Roots of the Tallest Tree.”
