A possibly unpopular boundary that I've needed to set for myself: If there is an emergency or an issue of urgency, please don’t call me first. Call who needs to be called- police for crime, fire department for fire, ambulance for a medical emergency, plumber for a leak, therapist for urgent counselling, etc. (To be … Continue reading Honestly. Please, don’t.

Trying.
I have been contemplating my path recently. What else is new? I have been my entire life. But lately I've been able to cut myself some slack on perpetual "trying." All my life I've been told that I'm not trying hard enough. When I have tried, I've more or less hated putting forward the effort. … Continue reading Trying.
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. The sun is shining for longer hours. I'm ready to put the winter gear away. I know it's a mistake- it's too … Continue reading Spring Cleaning. Again.
Experience.
I cut my hair a while ago. Like, months ago. And I've known since it was happening that it was a mistake. It's a silly story that at my darkest moments makes me feel shame for feeling so petty and vain, but I really learned a lot from this experience. My hair was long. Longer … Continue reading Experience.
Emerge.
I feel like I've come to the other side of something more than just Winter. I spent February resting as per my list of monthly focus topics. It was beautiful to release all pressure on myself. No pressure to go out. No pressure to have the neatest home. No pressure to be the most organized. … Continue reading Emerge.

It's all right now. The truth of the moment is here- everything observable around and within us. The … Continue reading Present Moment. Deep Diving.
A Reminder of Authenticity.
Autumn Sunrise. I am here. I love my present moment without condition and I know that I am loved without condition. I am. This is truth. The Universe is me, around me, within me, and supports me. This is authentically me. This body. This mind. This soul. I choose to place my awareness in the … Continue reading A Reminder of Authenticity.
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.

There are very few situations that would actually prevent this.I will nourish myself as I require.I will remain in the present … Continue reading Morning Intentions.
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.
