I've struggled with routine and self-discipline for much of my life. I was often reminded of it by the people around me. Lazy. Absent-minded. Forgetful. Scatter-brained. Irresponsible. Undisciplined. At the end of the day undisciplined is probably the best descriptor of what was going on. Discipline for me evokes ideas of tasks that are militant, … Continue reading Self-Discipline.

Reflect.
Some of my journals stacked on the hardwood floor. The hard work of acknowledging feelings and thoughts as well as journaling my findings has allowed me to see patterns and investigate so many cycles that I was unable to process earlier in my healing/spiritual journey. My journaling has been a miracle for allowing me space … Continue reading Reflect.
Nurture.
Nurture yourself like you would nurture a plant. It's been a while since I've sat down to type up a pondering post but, here I am. I've been in a bit of a weird place lately. One that's felt familiar... always the same, yet always uncomfortable. In my life I find myself oscillating between feeling … Continue reading Nurture.
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.
Release.
The full moon has passed and it feels like time to focus on release. I personally don't love calling it release because it implies that I judge and cast away. I don't do that, but I acknowledge a narrowing of my awareness to what is truly crucial in this present moment. Leading up to the … Continue reading Release.
Yes.
I love to be able to say an enthusiastic 'yes!' I love to be ready and confident in my 'yes.' I love to feel so well tended to that when I say 'yes' it comes from a place of giving what is overflowing in my life. I love to be able to say 'yes' to … Continue reading Yes.
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.
Awareness.
What we focus our awareness on is what we react and respond to. Anything. The cold of the morning breeze. The bugs in the air. The rain. Our mind is always reacting to something. Have you noticed? Have you also noticed that sometimes things will remind you of a past occurrence? Rain can remind you … Continue reading Awareness.
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.
Remember.
I went for a walk this morning. After I got to about the farthest point from the beginning, it started to pour rain. I put the hood on my coat up for a few moments, and then put it down again. A phrase from my time running came up, "we're not made of sugar." I … Continue reading Remember.
