Felt like a hug in the form of words

Happy All Saints Day, folks! I had to share something I wrote on Facebook the other day. When I write in the flow like this, it’s is the best feeling in the world. Sometimes I write my fierce truth. Sometimes I let the Divine flow though me. This was a combo deal. I can feel…
Who I used to be
By

Who I used to be was scared. I was scared to eat too much, drink too much, think too much, not be enough, not do enough, that I wouldn’t get enough, but I’d gain too much weight. It’s that “not being enough, but yet too much” syndrome. It boils down to self-worth and being good enough. It’s…
What is life telling you?

What is your life telling you? Is the Universe giving you signs that you’re not picking up on? What to add to your life? What to let go of? Do you see what is working and what needs to change? Is your schedule good? Does it make sense? Do you make time for what you want?…
Epic Moments Of Awesomeness-EMOA

We try to plan them. Especially as parents, we take kids on vacation. We plan special outings. They often fall flat in the fun department. Our expectations set so high, that they SHOULD be happy, grateful, and enjoy themselves. They are kids. As in…they’re crazy, wonderful, unpredictable, wild creatures. They’re not robots. They don’t hold…
The Selfish Catepillar and The College Butterfly
By

Oh…yes, I’m the selfish caterpillar. Teens and their parents fight. Yes, of course, but as much as that happens, I can’t imagine ever wanting them out of the house. They are teenagers who are acting like teenagers, but they are still our babies deep down there inside. I think I suck at parenting sometimes. I…
Don’t go into Fear

The media can grab our attention with the things we “should” be afraid of. The list grows by the day. It sells. It keeps us imprisoned in fear. This keeps us small. It makes us want to escape reality if we think we can’t improve it. Do you want to survive or thrive? If you…
What are you afraid to feel?

Fear Anger Confusion Wrong Bad Stupid Mean Selfish Incompetent Crazy Weird Do you avoid these? What if your fear of feeling them was actually controlling you? What if you could be aware you don’t like to feel them, but you do? That you would like to feel the opposite. What the opposite might technically be…
God is not one size fits all
By

Of course, I can relate everything to a metaphor and especially a fashion one. Just like everyone feels comfortable in different things, it’s the same with God. Some like classic Little Black dresses that make them feel more alive, some like to go for soft comfy and traditional with cotton sweatpants, others in native clothing,…
What has your attention?

Are you wasting time on things that don’t really matter in your life? Here are some traps: Internet browsing is the time sucker that makes us waste a lot of time looking up dumb stuff we really don’t need to know. Maybe some of it do want to know, but do we really retain it or do…
Ripping off the Band-Aid.
By

I don’t know how many people follow this blog or my journey, but I always try to be honest and authentic. I have big dreams, but one is not to be a guru. I think a teacher doesn’t have to be perfect and my writing sure has more wisdom when there are lessons of mine in…
