IF IT HAPPENS, IT HAPPENS LIKE THIS: 

when i am thirty-three and finally hitting my stride and high-school-me is a young girl i have long since absolved and sent to bed        and when i’ve come to adore the quiet i’ve built in the evenings while the families sit at their tables and i dip brushes into paints       and when i’ve perfected the task of summarizing my life in a way that does not make people feel sorry for me        and when i have quit thinking about it at all, even in flimsy, fleeting fantasies,  that’s when Love arrives.  Love is a moppy anachronism with one muddy shoe wedged in the doorframe at eleven-thirty p.m. on a weeknight, about ninety thousand hours since the last time i even thought to set a place for it at the table           and asks me through crooked teeth what’s for dinner        and i tell Love that dinner has come and gone and that i’ve been making single-serving meals for the last  ten years anyway because i am self-actualized and content        and Love asks me what’s for dinner,    and i forgive Love for tracking mud across the carpet i had finally remembered to vacuum    and i forgive Love for arriving with watery eyes and an empty belly and without calling ahead       because there are leftovers packed away in the fridge and blankets folded up in the hall closet      and i forgive Love for arriving messy        and i forgive Love for arriving late and i forgive Love for arriving       because Love arrived.

Happy New Year, everyone! TL;DR the past year for me, blog and readings update

It is not my intention to delve too deeply into my year and personal stuff, but I do at least want to briefly mention some things, since I've been pretty quiet this year.

At my white coat ceremony at the beginning of 2024, the VP and Dean of Students of my school talked about how 2024 is the year of the Green Dragon, and with that comes very dramatic and swinging change. She said that this year would be a roller-coaster and literally nothing is free from the possible change, and that it was time to buckle up.

At the time, I kind of scoffed and laughed it off, but looking back she was so incredibly right.

This past year, pretty much every aspect of my life and also my person has seen dramatic swinging change. My school closed, my 2-year relationship ended, I started to transition, I did some very intense trauma work, etc.

It was not easy; I would say this has definitely been the most difficult year of my life. BUT. Despite it all, I have gained SO much.

I have finally accepted and stepped into who I am, and am standing in my truth and my being. I have let go of so many insecurities and fears and traumas that I have been carrying, some for most of my life. I have begun to care for and manage myself and begin to take steps towards what I consider my greater purpose and desire - to be a healer.

It's been difficult, and I do not wish to repeat it ever again, but what I gained ended up being completely worth it. If you also had a Green Dragon of a year, I hope that you, too, can say the same.

Anywho, bit of a blog update.

I am closing my readings - for now. I don't feel particularly called to be doing them right now, and I kind of need to redo my services and pricing. Also, I am stepping into a busier term in school, and I'm not entirely sure yet how much free time I would have for them anyways.

However.

Even though I will not be doing readings, I AM going to have my inbox open!

One thing I want with this blog is for me and it to be a resource to the community. And so you are completely welcome to ask me questions about anything - energy, spirits, Chinese medicine, spirituality, or even personal questions about me, if you would like.

I will do my best to answer them, and I will get to them as time allows. I'm going to start using the tag #dear zee to track all of my asks that I get (and if you wanted to start your ask by saying Dear Zee, that could be fun but it is absolutely not necessary)

I hope everyone had a good holiday and New Year, and I hope everyone has a wonderful night!

Blessings!
