I am the Queen of Avoidance. I say this not as a brag or a proclamation of my greatness, but as a description of the hereditary and culturally upheld nature of this trait.

So… What Do I Want?
You can have whatever or be whatever you want. That's cool. So... What do I want? I have struggled with that question for so much of my life, but I know the truth of it is that I did not struggle when I was young. Very young. I grew up with several siblings.

Drop Your Story.
Or put it down gently. I really don't know how well it's serving you. What I do know is that carrying around that story is limiting you. It's the story we default to when something goes wrong. "I do it because that's how I was raised." "It's a habit." "It's what I've always done." "It … Continue reading Drop Your Story.

Rest.
What comes up when you think about rest? It is a four-letter word for some. I find that rest gets confused with weakness, laziness, and apathy a lot, but rest done well can be a gift and a place of growth. There is no weakness in rest. It is a place to inventory what is … Continue reading Rest.
