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.

Honor Your Journey
How did I get here?
We get caught up in the minutia of the day to day that we lose perspective of the path that got us here.
Our eyes focused on what’s right in front of us. Read why it’s important to reflect on and honor your journey.
Allow it to be easy
Show of hands, do you feel your life is hard, complicated?
No one wants to hear that it’s their own fault that things are the way they are, but it’s true.
Perfection over Perfect
Perfect or perfection?
Similar words, but can guide your life in wildly different ways.
