Rose Candela: organizing the past for a better today
organizing the past for a better today
The other day I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to photoshop my face. I have a bunch of swelling under my eyes these days from a unique combination of genetics, crying, and sleeplessness. I have a skin tag on my lower eye lid that sometimes I imagine is all people see when they[…]
As a mama, I have the most unique privilege to witness my son’s firsts. Witnessing a tiny human learn to be in his body from crawling to standing to walking and now running almost as fast as his parents – it’s nothing short of remarkable. Now, I get to witness the first processing of ideas[…]
Black lives matter. We’re all experiencing a huge upheaval, a revolution that is reminding us that systemic racism in people is killing innocent black, brown, and people of color. My calling to you today, if you’re in space of: I don’t know what to do — is to acknowledge this: You’re going to get it[…]
Beloved, Here is a glimpse of one weekly prompt I’m sending my Time Keeper Collective group. I want you to join if you feel called. But/and I also want to share this practice with you because it’s been so powerful for me. xo- Rose Our world is extremely chaotic right now. Even making a decision[…]
To the Rose in this photo, 4 years ago and 40 hours into labor of her baby. This is what I want you to know: Your baby will be here early tomorrow morning, as light begins to crack open the dawn. You have been moving mountains and calling upon the strength of your ancestors to[…]

As corona virus sweeps through the world, I’ve thought a lot about our ancestors. Particularly my ancestors, who I know best (just like you know your ancestors best). I wrote this in an instagram post at the beginning of March: Your ancestors did this. Your lineage of people went through this, this feeling of unknown,[…]
On being vulnerable, especially during corona time. Vulnerability is hard. I can’t imagine a life without it, because the most amazing connections come from it. Yet approaching doing something that makes me vulnerable: eh, some days I’d rather not. Recently, I was given the honor of giving a master class for Asha Frost’s Sacred membership,[…]
(a pic of me, really pumped to be writing to to you this week!). Dear creative one, I’ve missed writing to you weekly on all things creativity, time, and being human. I’ll be back at it some day soon. But, I do have words to share with you! I wrote a blog for the Joan Mitchell[…]
This is my 256th blog on this site. I’ve spent 6 years here writing weekly, 12 years writing in general for you to read (throwing back to my blogspot days!). Blogging is a deep place of love for me, it’s like my home. Today, I retire it — if only for a few months, as[…]
