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.

Perfect.
There are times where I am so tired. I am weary from being afraid and feeling imperfect. I get pinned underneath the weight of my stories. It's in this place, when I get good and quiet, that I encounter a feeling... The desperation eases and I feel hope. It's a whisper, to be sure. But … Continue reading Perfect.
Repair.
Kintsugi, is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.Wikipedia My mindfulness allows me to reconcile the fact that I feel broken. I can sit with this feeling … Continue reading Repair.
Self-Discipline.
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.

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.

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.
How Can I Best Show Up?
When you show up for something consistently, the activity becomes a comfortable place to be and space for expansion and wonder. 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?
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.
