It's a slow burn
understanding your traumas
the way you tick
unpacking the history
the conditions
the intense grief
that swallows you whole some days...
But the effort is worth it
The felt pain, though deep,
does not stay forever
The slog leads to the most delicious,
authentic,
secure,
confident,
freedom...
That belongs to only you

On difficult emotions
Let them go
Let them rise within
And let them subside
Don't hold them
Don't digest them
Let them pass throughLeave a comment

We are constantly being called to dig deeper,
reach higher,
and be far more than we ever imagined we could be.
Let no moment be wasted.
Everything matters.
Everything matters.Leave a comment

Love, acceptance, fulfillment
Is not outside of you
This can be a hard truth
Because we want the people we love
To love us the way we need
We want so badly for them to heal our wounds
To say the words we need to hear
And sometimes we take desperate measures
We shout, we claw, we cry
To get them to understand
Stop all this
We have somewhere along the way
Believed others have the power to make us ok
No
We were born absolutely perfect
In need of nothing
Look within
And remember thisLeave a comment

It doesn't matter
How long you may have been blind
Once you see...
You cannot unseeLeave a comment

Thank you for all the little loves of my life
Thank you for all the big loves
For the love that has come
For the love that has gone
For the love that is on its way
For the love that is all around me
In the stars, in the moon, in the dust
For the way you love me
In all the ways seen
And unseenLeave a comment

What happens when you are tested to the point even your faith seems to be an illusion?
And then the warrior laughs to herself because even this question does not matter.
And so she draws her sword and presses on.Leave a comment

Be more concerned about what's going on within your being...
your heart, your spirit, the state of your mind...
than the constant change of circumstances outside of yourself.
Is there peace within?
If the answer is no, this is where you must first start.Leave a comment

From far away lands
I came back
From far away lands
Hoping to find fertile fields
Ready to rest my tired feet
Ready to rest my head
Hoping a warm fire will be burning
Awaiting my arrival
To find nothing I recognize
Barren roads
Empty lands
Unfamiliar faces
"this does not feel like home" my heart tells me
And though this is a hard truth to face
I know I cannot force this place to be
what it is not
We must know when we cannot stayLeave a comment

Mighty like a mountain
Some days
I need to take my thoughts to war
I bring my sword of Light
Knowing that as long as I stay strong
As long as I summon up all my courage
And rely on the endless days
Where my faith felt mighty like a mountain
I know all has prepared me
For a day like today
Where the challengers come for me
Light always prevails in darkness
This I know
I'm readyLeave a comment

Our Path
Our Path
There are times in our lives
Where we must walk alone
The comforts we are used to
Suddenly don’t feel like home
The people we relied on
Their hands no longer in ours
This is part of the journey
At some point,
we must put all the trust in ourselves
To the heavens above
That our path is guided
That the angels are with us
Even if we may feel alone
We must keep going
Because we hear a call
That is only meant for usLeave a comment
