In my previous post, I wrote about being at the breaking point. It was a post overflowing with the rawness of emotion I was experiencing at the time. Writing that post gave me courage to be with myself when I was so angry, disappointed and violated. It helped me understand that I didn’t need toContinue reading “Beyond the Breaking Point”

The Breaking Point
I’ve been feeling more of my power coming to the forefront of my inner world lately and it’s been wonderful. Today I had an experience that deeply insulted, offended and angered me. After it was over, I felt like I was in shock, and I needed time to settle back into myself. I was inContinue reading “The Breaking Point”
Literally overflowing with love
Living with chronic fatigue syndrome is sometimes at odds with who I am. I am a big hearted person who loves to connect with others, share hugs, give compassion and acknowledgement and more hugs. Being chronically tired means that I can’t always do that because I don’t have enough physical, energetic or emotional energy toContinue reading “Literally overflowing with love”
Unhinged
Recently something inside of me has opened up. Like there was this part of me I was keeping tucked away, in a locked box. I was just sitting outside in the sun when I realized that not only has the box been opened but it is unhinged. In my haste to open it and rediscoverContinue reading “Unhinged”
Always blooming
I’ve been sick the past few days and it has helped put things in perspective. Even when I am sick or struggling with the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and anxiety, I am always blooming. Even when I feel like I am taking several steps back, I am always blooming. It’s so easy to getContinue reading “Always blooming”

How many of us have improved our relationships with ourselves, friends and family and the world, but are still fighting on the inside? My hope is that withContinue reading “Going to war with myself”
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. I felt so supported while hearing those rights that it inspired me to create my own Self-Love and Self-Care BillContinue reading “Self-Love and Self-Care Bill of Rights”
How I Feel is Nobody’s Fault
For as long as I can remember, I haven’t taken responsibility for how I feel. I have blamed or resented other people, thinking it was their fault I was mad, sad, disempowered, or overwhelmed. I have related to life as a victim for a very long time. I even remember writing in my diary inContinue reading “How I Feel is Nobody’s Fault”
Giving myself time
I love this image. I took it at sunset a few weeks ago. It reminds me that there is a lot of beauty in the day’s transitions. Here is another of a sunrise from the front of my house. These two images remind me that the sun doesn’t rush it’s rising or setting. Nor doesContinue reading “Giving myself time”
