In this self-care, self-love journey, I have noticed that there are times when I am going to war with myself. It was an important but sad realization.

Self-Love and Self-Care Bill of Rights
In December, I learned about The Mourner’s Bill of Rights, by Dr. Alan Wolfelt. It is a very heartfelt list of “rights” for grieving people so that they may fully process and experience their grief.

From 2015 to 2018, I was so deeply inspired by the massive spiritual and personal growth I was going through.

These two images remind me that the sun doesn’t rush it’s rising or setting. Nor doesContinue reading “Giving myself time”
Overwhelmed and angry
I have really been enjoying feeling angry in the last month. I have a complicated relationship with anger…I used to shove it down….I used to be scared of what I would do if I got angry, so I wouldn’t let myself even feel it. The problem is that it was fermenting and boiling inside ofContinue reading “Overwhelmed and angry”
