I started this blog almost exactly 11 months ago, and last week was the first week I’ve missed in all of that time. It was weird, and honestly really frustrating to feel like I just didn’t have anything left in the tank, but it had to be done. I promised myself that I would never … Continue reading Honoring ourselves…

Being the enemy…
As Thanksgiving approaches, I’m starting to get the usual texts from family asking for a Christmas list for presents. I really hoped I wouldn't. Last year I was able to convince my family not to do gifts because I honestly don’t see the point of it anymore. We are all older, no one needs anything, … Continue reading Being the enemy…
Social Change
Throughout my Master’s program so far, there is a constant theme where we are asked how we will use what we are learning to bring about positive social change. No matter how many times I am asked this, I still struggle to come up with the kind of answer I imagine they are looking for. … Continue reading Social Change
Self-sabotage
I almost didn’t write this week. I have a lot on my plate completing projects and term papers for my master’s program, but then while doing all of this I’m recognizing a pattern of behavior that I realize has been part of me since birth. I’m a self-saboteur. It doesn’t matter what it is, as … Continue reading Self-sabotage
Love ain’t for the faint of heart
Recently, I had a conversation with a friend of mine and she mentioned how wanting a relationship made her feel weak. In that moment, my heart cried for her and I told her that wanting companionship isn’t weakness, it’s natural. Weakness comes from being dependent on a relationship. Being incapable of being alone is weakness. … Continue reading Love ain’t for the faint of heart
Alignment…or the lack thereof.
Lately I’ve been thinking a great deal about what it means to be in alignment. Everywhere I turn there is an article, or a webinar, or some other forum discussing this very topic, and somehow I leave those situations no better off than I started. It seems like the consistent message for getting into alignment … Continue reading Alignment…or the lack thereof.
Life in perspective
Yesterday I attended yet another memorial service for a friend who has left us way too soon, and since the moment I learned of his passing, my mind has been going 90 miles a minute. As I sat among so many others who were there to say their goodbyes, I realized how far I’ve come … Continue reading Life in perspective
Saying “yes” to life…and goodbye to summer
As the summer comes to a close, I had to have one more solid seasonal adventure. For those of you just coming in, my entire blog site started as a response to old habits and beliefs that I needed to question and reevaluate. I decided it was time to start saying “yes” to opportunities that … Continue reading Saying “yes” to life…and goodbye to summer
The Winds of Change…
There’s a hard lesson that I’ve had to learn over the years about people. The saying is that people never change and I really don’t agree with that. I’m living proof that it isn’t true. What IS true, however, is that people only change…if THEY want to. Changing takes a great deal of effort, intention, … Continue reading The Winds of Change…
Boundaries and more boundaries…
In my last post I discussed the importance of kindness while maintaining boundaries, and I quickly realized that a lot of people don’t really know what boundaries look or feel like. Boundaries can be difficult to navigate and it seems that too often people look at boundaries as a way to keep people out of … Continue reading Boundaries and more boundaries…
