Our whole world
is in our hands..
Is it heaven?
Or is it hell

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 youLeave 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

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

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

The Rose
Standing in the kitchen
I see a single soft pink rose petal fall from her body
I walk over to see she is opened
Full
Waning
I feel a pang in my heart
"I want you to live forever" I plea
I draw her face close to mine
Her beautiful perfect face
She welcomes me
Whispers reassuringly,
"this is the nature of life my love..
and I love my life"Leave a comment

Ask the question,
"What do I want to experience in this life?"
Answer honestly, truthfully
Know,
You deserve all that you dream of.
Listen for the answer..
Hold it dear..
And fearlessly move in the direction your heart points.Leave a comment

I started to follow my own inner compass

Life calls us to be tremendously brave
Braver than we want to be sometimes
Tested beyond what we think we are capable of
"Let me see who you are" life demands
We know what we are capable of
Way before we enter this life
Our belief in ourselves is strong enough to know
We can face the things we are facing
We can rise
And we shall
I wrote this on a day where I felt myself shrinking, wavering in the face of one of my greatest challenges. I wasn't sure if I was brave enough that day. Or the days to come. I didn't want to decide. I was afraid I'd get the answer wrong. I was afraid I would betray myself.
I wrote this to remind me who I am. To encourage me on the days I can't seem to find my courage.Leave a comment

If life takes you in a different direction..
Let it.

Flip your story on its head..
Yes the pain, the sorrow, the ache
But more the strength, the resilience, the power
You are the hero of this story
