My Inner Struggle

Looking in the rearview mirror can often provide us with incredible perspective…but we don’t want to keep looking backwards, either.   I love myself for who I am and what I’ve become. People appreciate my authenticity. I’m a good person. I’m honest, at times – to my own detriment.   To say that I’ve been…

I read a quote this week: Ambitious women really only have two options: a super supportive partner or no partner at all.   This hit hard and for a few days I went down the path of preparing to spend my remaining years alone. Unworthy of love. Sex and passion are easy – I’m completely…

We tend to write from a place of pain, or the joyous perspective after.   Think about your favorite song – what’s the message?   There are so many songs that exist purely about heartache, life.   Tears are words meant to be written.   I’m sitting here on a Thursday afternoon, at a local…

My heart has been broken. I’m struggling a little bit as I write this – I had the unpleasant discovery of finding out the man I’ve been in love with for the last five years, chose someone else, his ex (again). There are a million things I don’t understand, and that’s the part that sucks…

When your heart speaks, say it.     What is your love language? I implore you to find an online quiz and find out what yours is. It’s not just for romantic relationships – it literally defines ALL your relationships in life, including the one you have with yourself.   Quality time is the most…

It’s a new month, new beginnings – the perfect time for a restart!   You know, there are a million things I want to talk about – there is never a lack of words, really ever – which I am discovering has a lot to do with being an empath, a helper, and wanting to…

I had a really weird dream last night, and actually, a few nights this week – but let’s talk about last night.   My sister and I were driving in a car to go watch a field hockey game at a private school…only when we pulled up the school resembled this castle from a movie…

Embracing Abundance: Navigating the First Week of 2024 with Mindfulness and Goals   You made it (almost) through the first week of 2024 – how are you feeling?   I love the blank slate that January provides us each year. I love the nakedness of my house after the all the holiday decorations come down….

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” – Maya Angelou *** I share this because I know I’m not the only one going through this, I’m a real person sharing real thoughts and stories, the same as you. I’ve been up…

I was so busy for the month of September and the bulk of October that I was being led by my calendar. I woke up every day with a purpose, and I almost think I take better care of myself when I’m busy, as crazy as that sounds!   When I’m busy, everything is booked…
