Weekly AMA! It's exactly what it sounds like. Ask me anything. About content creation. About my weird life as a self-vowed hermit nun devoted to a made up deity. About going back to college to finish a bachelor's degree in middle age not for a career pivot, but for fun. About anything you've seen me cast about. Or really, about anything at all.

Yep, made her up in my 20s. Had a desperate craving for a connection so something beyond myself, but none of the religions I'd explored did anything for me on a deep level - intellectually fascinating, beautiful rituals, lot of wisdom, but also, a lot of being stuck in the past and unwillingness to evolve. So decided to just make a deity up. I call her Paradox, Everything and Nothing, the Cosmos Herself. That led me on a wild ride that escalated into accidental enlightenment. And now She bugs other people, too 🤣

It was... well... interesting. I did it live, in real-time, on Facebook, glued to my keyboard. Literally declared myself a goddess, and was stuck for three days until my then-husband dragged me to an ice festival that reminded me I was human. It took me another four years before I had a similar experience, but then it was at a 10-day silent meditation retreat, I knew what was happening, and I had the ego safeguards in place not to declare myself a deity and start a cult 🤣 Now, I can do it at will. Sit and dissolve my being into atoms, become one with the universe, come back with wisdom to share with others. I have to be careful doing it in person, though, the people in the room start to dissolve with me, and most are *not* ready for that.
