I wrote the poem below in April 2021. It is still so valid and really represents my journey in working towards a PhD in Being Me. It is very raw and vulnerable and makes me feel so proud of myself and how far I have come. May it inspire you too! xoxoxoxo This is MeContinue reading “This is Me”

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”

Some things take time – my first poetry book and a new poem

RAGE
RAGE – a poem Rage. It burns under my skin. It fills up my throat and threatens to erupt in screams. Rage. It wants me to yell, scream, swear and throw things. Rage. It makes me feel powerful enough that I can breathe flames and roar so the whole world can hear me. Rage. ItContinue reading “RAGE”
How a total lunar eclipse helped me
I have chronic fatigue syndrome and anxiety, but I also have a huge heart, a cute innocence about the way I interact with the world, a love of swearing, a tall, strong body and an awakening consciousness that sometimes truly humbles and astounds me. That was a long sentence, but it was needed to showContinue reading “How a total lunar eclipse helped me”
Trusting myself
Sometimes I wonder how I got to be 42 and I’m only now deepening my trust in myself. Other times, I understand exactly how I am at this place. The most important point I’d like to make is that it is a huge accomplishment and blessing that I now trust myself. After a lifetime ofContinue reading “Trusting myself”
When I “should” myself instead of going with joy
I mentioned in a previous post that I am off work for 5 weeks. I finally gave myself permission to ask for this leave because I knew I really needed it! I am incredibly grateful to have been supported in my request for this type of leave (leave with income averaging). This time off hasContinue reading “When I “should” myself instead of going with joy”
