Finding Ground After The Shedding
Personal Essay: On Entering New Chapters
I’ve been quiet here for a while—letting the space breathe, allowing myself to listen. It’s felt like shedding old layers—releasing the way I thought I had to show up and making room for something more honest, more effortless, more true.
Leaving social media was a big part of that shedding, too. I needed to find the ground under my feet again (to touch grass)—to create from a place of peace rather than pressure. To move at the speed of presence, rooted in meaning rather than metrics. So I cleaned. Both my physical and digital spaces. Erected a new puja table, tuned out the world, chanted & prayed.
In the quiet, I remembered myself. How much I love thinking aloud—following God’s thoughts like heavenly threads and letting them weave into something completely unexpected.
Like this one, a snippet of something I’ve been contemplating and writing on lately:
What Does It Mean to Live as God in Human Form?
To live as God in human form is to be both expansive and grounded, to hold complexity without needing certainty, and to move through the world with a sense of openness to both divine inspiration and human messiness. It’s about finding freedom within form, divinity within daily life, and purpose without prescription.
I realized I missed desperately having a space to do this. A place to feed, not only in solitude but in community. A place spacious enough to hold my long from pieces, away from the pressure to shrink every idea into a box for “the feed”.
This Journal, Erah Society, is where I want to continue exploring that tension and that freedom—for now. It’s not a place for teachings or frameworks nor an offering in the traditional sense. It’s more like a well of contemplation—a space where ideas are allowed to unfold without needing to be practical or final (the Artist’s Way is really helping me with this). It’s where I’m reimagining spirituality, business, beauty, and wellbeing —not as fixed concepts but as living, breathing, cohabiting conversations.
I’m drawn to the kind of depth that doesn’t demand conclusions. The kind of divine power that doesn’t need to prove itself. Its idea of fun is exploring questions, no holds barred—rather than rushing to definitive answers. I’m not here to teach you how to live or what to do with these thoughts. I’m here to share what moves through me—ideas that feel alive, words that feel worth saying, even if they never land at a single truth.
So in this Journal, you’ll find inquiries on living well, building businesses that honor our souls, seeking to understand God in ways that feel expansive & real and much more. Some pieces will be deeper and more contemplative—an unhurried mosaic of thoughts. Others will be lighter, audio reflections, spoken essays—words offered with an aliveness that I hope meet you wherever you are.
Some of this content will be open to all, while some will be reserved for those choosing to support this space by becoming a Patron Saint. The truth is, this is my very intimate way of letting you witness my process, my personal contemplations, my special way of framing the world. There’s no schedule I’m trying to keep up with here. Just the natural flow of creative cycles. Sometimes that means bi-weekly drops; sometimes less often, and other times in clusters when inspiration floods in.
If you’ve been walking alongside me through my many evolutions, it’s a joy to still have you here. If you’re new, welcome. There’s so much to share with you—so much that wants to be said and brought to life—but I’m taking it step by step. Know that I’m moving forward with the same intention I’ve always had: to create from a place of inspiration rather than urgency and to honor the natural rhythm of my energy— I hope you are too.
With gratitude & grace,

P.S. As part of this new chapter, I revisited and revitalized some of my past writings that still hold resonance for me. Giving these pieces fresh energy and deeper clarity to reflect where we are now.
