“‘Being’ means evicting everyone from your inner core, so all that’s left is you. When only you remain, you begin to live as you and not live for the tenants you housed in your core. “ The beginning of Spring has been interesting. Honestly, it always is.

You Don’t Find Peace. You Become Peace.
Many of us cannot be here because we look at the entire staircase instead of focusing on one step. What comes to mind when you hear or see the words “Peace” and “Surrender”? Most of us think of “inaction” or “stillness.” Sometimes those things are needed, but one does not simply achieve peace, being hereContinue reading “You Don’t Find Peace. You Become Peace.”
Now You Ask
Depression, grief, sadness, and pain doesn’t need you to believe in them to exist. I dreamt of a poem about suicide and thought it important to share. Mental health is often overlooked. Why? Many believe all you should do is “push forward.” Others believe mental health is a weakness because they feel like a “pushover.”Continue reading “Now You Ask”
Change is More than Hoping and Good Thoughts
Anytime we stop growing, become stagnant, and expect life to work in our favor, we can expect life to become uncomfortable. The new year encourages “New Beginnings” in many people worldwide. I see rituals like washing away the old energy in the ocean, cleaning the house to promote new energy, purchasing new wallets and pursesContinue reading “Change is More than Hoping and Good Thoughts”
The Power of Looking at Ourselves Head-On
One of the best feelings in the world is when a trigger is no longer powerful – it shows just how much healing you’ve been doing. I recently came in contact with a trigger that, in the past, would’ve sent me overboard. It would’ve intensely irritated my abandonment wound. However, at this moment, the triggerContinue reading “The Power of Looking at Ourselves Head-On”
Presence Is Not Something You Search For, But Something You Have To BE
Your healing work is a secure foundation for every step you take. Trust it. “Just be present” is thrown around like it’s as easy as breathing – It’s not. I recently took a class that awakened me to understand “Be Present” a bit more. I understood my fear of it. “All my life I hadContinue reading “Presence Is Not Something You Search For, But Something You Have To BE”
Thriving in the Middle – “Wokeness” and “Cancel Culture”
Listening leads to understanding. Understanding leads to unity. “Cancel Culture.” Sometimes it upsets me when I see or hear comments like, “the world is so soft now. We can’t say or do what we used to do, and everyone gets offended.” Then, simultaneously, I said something harmless when I wanted more information on a subject,Continue reading “Thriving in the Middle – “Wokeness” and “Cancel Culture””
People Will Question Who You’re Becoming. Heal Anyways.
When the control of others creeps in, double down on living your truth because it’s you that has to walk this path – Not them. When we begin to think of ourselves and live for ourselves, many of us feel guilty. We feel as if we’re doing something wrong and we’re abandoning the others inContinue reading “People Will Question Who You’re Becoming. Heal Anyways.”
Walk, Don’t Run
We rush to complete tasks in our lives as if there is an end. The beauty is there is no end; therefore, there’s no need to rush. Take your time. The light at the end of the tunnel extends inward and illuminates what it touches. As you walk closer to that light, you begin toContinue reading “Walk, Don’t Run”
Control is a Fantasy
“Control’s not easy. Control’s a fucking fantasy.” – Toni Shalifoe, The Wilds season 1. These past few months have been tough, and I’m sure you’re feeling it in your life as well.
