Where You Want to Be
I know I waste a lot of time focusing and fearing the future. What’s next? What’s to come? Anticipation of, and speculation about up-coming events, and worst-case scenarios. It seems most of us are planning for this, preparing for that. Racing against the clock to get things done, to fit it all in. …

It’s Going to be a Good Day
Now that would be freaking hilarious, if it weren’t so dang true… Why do we hold onto all of our stories and painful memories of the past? Of course some things are helpful, like we remember to not touch a hot stove, but if you’re like me, it still happens, more often than…

Stress
Always wanting what we don’t have… Looking ahead at the next thing, the next person, the next place. Why are we never satisfied or complete with what is right here in front of us? At one time, we wished for what we have, right now. Yes, it is important…

Our Journey
We all come into this world perfect. Pure, innocent, honest and authentic. Our hearts are wide open. Full of love, and hope. Our eyes are bright with curiosity, wonder, and awe. As we travel through life, we experience difficulty, disappointment, and struggles. We begin to add layers of protection around us, to…

A Guarded Girl
Life brings us challenges and lessons and moments that may harden us or cause us to throw up walls. We learn to protect our hearts. We become independent and rely on our own abilities and resources. We realize that everything we need is within us, not out “there”. We become very particular in what or…

How Lovely It Is To Let Things Go
The beauty of fall. The vibrant color of the leaves. The fresh, crisp air. The wonder of nature. The tree shines in all it’s glory, it’s true brilliance of color for only a few weeks. Only to drop them all, for a period of rest, and then begin again. …

Life as an Introvert
Oh the life of an introvert! Which is also the life of an empath, or HSP (Highly Sensitive Person). And when you are all three…. Just as much as we need their understanding, We really need them to have a sense of humor! It’s tough making you’re way through life…

Stepping Stones
It is very easy to feel defeated, when things don’t go the way you would like them to, or you feel as if you let yourself, or someone else down. We all try to do the very best we can, in any given situation. Sometimes, that doesn’t turn out the way…

Breaking the Patterns
We all have our comfort zones. Some have comfort in chaos and pain. ~Although unhealthy, it may be all we know. Others find comfort in routine. ~doing the same things over and over because it is reliable. We all do what makes sense for us. ~For our survival. ~For our sanity. ~Because…

Faith
None of us like to look at the things that are wrong. It feels awful to be uncomfortable. We all want to resist the problems, the concerns, our feelings, and the reality of what’s happening. But if we can just sit with it, Notice and acknowledge that it’s there, There…

Grace
We don’t often know what to do with our emotions. We don’t always want to deal with them. Some of us try to run from them. Some search for someone else to blame for them. And most of us don’t even understand them! When life hands us a difficult situation…

Life Is Not Black and White
We all expect life to come with a rule book. Something we can refer to when things get hard, or we don’t know what to do. It would be nice to know all the answers, have some guidelines, and a guarantee of a certain outcome. But life is not that way. …

Negativity
Negativity is a dark cloud. An easy trap to fall into. When all you can see is what is going wrong, negativity becomes your bitter friend. You can also be the most positive person around, and if all you are surrounded with is blame, shame, complain, you too can fall into this darkness. We must…

Worry
If they gave out awards for worrying, this is an area I would excel in. I have spent the majority of my life worrying. Worry about if I was good enough. Worry about what others thought of me. Worry about things that might happen. Worry about things that didn’t happen. Worry. Worry. Worry. If only…

Thorn Bushes
Is the glass half full or half empty? You get to decide. Do you focus on what’s wrong in any given situation or do you see the potential? Do you focus on the dark or can you see the light at the end of the tunnel? Are you burdened by the…
