Dear sensitive people,The world is crying out for your gifts. And at the same time, the world is telling you to toughen up, to not feel, to push through, to get over it. It’s confusing as hell.

A true woman
There was once a little girl. She lived in a house next to the woods. She loved her dogs. She loved to read and listen to music and make things in the quiet of her bedroom.

Behind the Curtain
I think a lot about healing and change and growth. And I think a lot about these last eight or so years that I've been shifting my inner and outer world. I will NEVER forget what my daily internal life was like back then. Some words that come to mind are - suffering, torture, anxious, … Continue reading Behind the Curtain

Spring day.
There is something about a beautiful spring day, isn't there? It feels like possibility. Wes had baseball practice this morning so I took the opportunity to visit the library.

Kind lady.
I've been thinking about this blog and my patterns with writing for it. I always write at the end of the day. My days start early, between 4 and 5 a.m. and I typically sit down to write at 7:00 p.m. My brain is tired. I've noticed I am more free and open with what … Continue reading Kind lady.
