Sometimes I feel the emotional pressure building up inside me, and I feel this urge to flee the pressure and the feelings. Sometimes I distract myself. But sometimes, I am brave and I turn toward it, instead of trying to get rid of it. I have this pressure on the left side of my jawContinue reading “Letting it all out through allowing”

What it feels like (for me) to have chronic fatigue syndrome
It’s hard to explain just how exhausting it is to have chronic fatigue syndrome. It’s taken me years to really and truly understand that rest doesn’t cure this type of exhaustion. It is much deeper than a lack of rest. It is an exhaustion down to the cellular and soul levels. Before I get muchContinue reading “What it feels like (for me) to have chronic fatigue syndrome”
My new true north
My inner compass has been re-oriented. My focus re-directed. My heart opened and filled with what’s been right in front of me all along. Here I am, right here, where I have always been.

What about me?
This is a very vulnerable post about listening to my pain and learning to honor and make space for it. May you be blessed with lots of healing!!
So worthy
Over the past few days, I have been witnessing and hearing about people being treated as less than. It really bothers me, and I get really angry and want to change our world for the better. I know that hurt people hurt people, but I can’t help but feel like we should all be ableContinue reading “So worthy”
Protecting innocence
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the death of one of our 2 day old baby chicks: https://phdinbeingme.ca/2023/06/02/making-peace-with-suffering/ It really broke my heart to watch her suffering, yet I knew she was teaching me alot. In the video above, I talk about the baby chicks and how they exude innocence and purity. They lookContinue reading “Protecting innocence”
