Where do I feel most comfortably situated? Some will never ask. How does this place, this moment, feel in my body? I find myself asking constantly.

For Nurturers.
Heart. I am sitting wearing noise-cancelling headphones, next to the running clothes washer. I have been awake for hours, and off and on for hours before that. Waking up and meeting needs and having soothing conversations and interactions. Praying each time to show up in kindness- again and again. I feel numb- like my body … Continue reading For Nurturers.
Spring Cleaning. Again.
Oh, Spring! I am feeling the call to do all of the things again. The weather is getting nice and warm. The grass is starting to grow again. The plants are coming back.

Experience.
I cut my hair a while ago. Like, months ago. And I've known since it was happening that it was a mistake.

Thoughts About Unconditional Love.
Love. Without condition. Without exception. Without timeframe. Without prerequisite. Without judgement. Without fear. Without limit. Without exhaustion. Without end. Without distraction. Without interruption. Who benefits when I don't love myself unconditionally? Who benefits when I do love myself unconditionally? What does unconditional love look like to me? What does unconditional love allow me to express? … Continue reading Thoughts About Unconditional Love.
This Body.
This body is my home. It moves my soul through this world. I am not my body, this body is more of a jacket. I use it to get around, but at the end of the day, I will take it off and move on. I need to take care of this body. I have … Continue reading This Body.
Growth on Growth.
The energy around me has gotten me this far. Look at how much I've grown. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now it's time to keep moving forward. I've done the best with what I have and now it's time to grow. It's time to create a nurturing habitat to plant new seeds and cultivate … Continue reading Growth on Growth.
Healing With Nature.
I previously discussed my return to running in the post Remember. While it has been a slow process, I am grateful for the opportunity to discuss it here. There is a lot to explore and a lot that has been making more sense to me as I retrace my processes and steps. I love the … Continue reading Healing With Nature.
