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.

Mindfulness.
Excitement! It's January. It's a new year and I am ready to do some exploring. I'm a firm believer in routine and the idea that expansion, growth, and creativity comes from the familiar. Showing up every day to a practice is where inspiration will know to find you. Flowing through a daily pattern allows you … Continue reading Mindfulness.
2022.
Happy New Year! This year I am committing to more writing and have a bit of a plan. Each month I am going to work through a wellness topic, explore different aspects, and hopefully discover some beliefs and habits that can be cleared and replaced with something more in-line with where I am right now. … Continue reading 2022.
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.
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.

One that's felt familiar... always the same, yet always uncomfortable. In my life I find myself oscillating between feeling … Continue reading Nurture.

How Can I Best Show Up?

When I was running long distances, I would get settled in my pace and I was able to ponder creative insights and solutions to all of my daily issues. Currently I have a journaling … Continue reading How Can I Best Show Up?
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.
Gather.
In this very present moment I sit. I breathe deep. I illuminate my awareness with my breath. I turn my attention to everything around me. My focus energizes it all. I turn that focus inward. My body has messages for me and I listen with unconditional love. Just listen. Unconditional love is loving with no … Continue reading Gather.
