Firefly Scout Field Notes

This is where I share field notes from the work of navigating a complex, heart-led life, blending personal experience with practical insight.

You’ll find thoughtful essays, practical frameworks, and experience-based guidance — rooted in real life, nervous-system awareness, and pattern noticing.

These aren’t personal diary entries or quick takes. They’re reflections meant to help you orient, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and move forward with more clarity and ease.

Take what’s useful. Leave the rest.

They can also work as an anchor point to help you orient yourself as you explore, acting as a point of reference as you try all sorts of ways to blaze a trail. But with time, you look how much this is holding you back.
