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.

Caffeine.
Avoiding caffeine should be simple. Why isn't it? Just don't consume it. It's not good for me and I feel that I struggle so much with it. I know how negatively it factors in my life and how it doesn't support my best self. Why can't I just walk away? There's a lot to unpack … Continue reading Caffeine.
Give Yourself a Chance.
How often do you greet a new idea or invitation with "I can't..." or "I am not good at..." I feel like we sometimes use these sentence beginnings to get ourselves out of a potential commitment that we don't want to participate in... WHICH IS FINE... but could we not use better language to communicate … Continue reading Give Yourself a Chance.

The Dining Room.
Our dining room is a mess... An honest-to-goodness disaster area. I hate it. I hate sitting in it. I don't feel at home eating in it. I hate looking at it. I hate the energy I feel from it. I was journaling the other day, like I do. Every single day I try to write … Continue reading The Dining Room.
Sleep.
Life hasn't been smooth-sailing lately. I have been quietly wading through a trough in my depression/anxiety experience these past few weeks. I'm grateful for recovering, however slowly. I'm also extremely grateful for the new insights I've had this time around. It's amazing what a look at the basics will yield... a good honest look at … Continue reading Sleep.
Perfect.
There are some moments that, no matter what you try, will never be perfect. The plans just don't and won't work out. In every moment we have the choice to sink into suffering about how imperfect things are or we can move gently despite the challenges. We are able to choose the thoughts in our … Continue reading Perfect.
Dawn.
It is a new day and I am grateful. For every challenging day I have, I know that a good rest and a new dawn follow. It may not be a better day, but it is different and I know I am also different. Growth happens during rest and I feel that I have more … Continue reading Dawn.
Save Yourself.
Save a part of yourself for yourself. Always. You don't have to give every single ounce of yourself away. I once lived under the delusion that I owed everybody everything. I gave 1000% of my effort, energy, and attention to everything because I thought I was only as good as what I gave to the … Continue reading Save Yourself.
The New Moon.
I've started paying attention to the Moon Phases in the past couple of years. It's amazing what a difference tracking the Moon makes when you look at cycles of energy expansion and contraction. The idea is that in the time between the New Moon and the Full Moon, energy expands as the Moon waxes, and … Continue reading The New Moon.
