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”

From Anxiety to Empowerment
I am sensitive, easily stressed and anxious. I am also growing and learning and finding new ways to care for the wonderfully sensitive person I am. As I reflect back on my life, I see how many times I didn’t know I had options. I would just be anxious and sit in that for aContinue reading “From Anxiety to Empowerment”
Going to war with myself
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. 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”
Ambassadors
From 2015 to 2018, I was so deeply inspired by the massive spiritual and personal growth I was going through. I would often just be making a meal, sitting, or working and then I would be filled with some words that I just had to type out very quickly. As I understand it now, theContinue reading “Ambassadors”
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”
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”

Walking Together – a poem Hello my darling one, I feel that my whole energy field is jangled and that there is a sensitivity on my skin because my nervous system is all out of whack. How can I best help you dearest one? You are so important to me, more than important than anything.Continue reading “Walking Together”
