Sometimes it’s the smallest words that carry the most weight – love, hate, no, yes, bye.. best. They’re heavy, tiny, and packed with a punch. Sometimes they come with expectations, opportunities, guidelines, or disappointment, and more often than not that’s a weight we’ve given to the words ourselves rather than the intended weight of theContinue reading ““Best Self””

Poetry Series – Attack
There are times where thoughts are far more feeling than they could possibly be words. Waves of emotion so intense that they can’t possibly adhere to typical structures of sentences and paragraphs but they still need to be said rather than shown. Poetry shows us that we don’t always have to play by the rules,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Attack”
Rules of Roles
Are they doing more harm than good? I have been fortunate enough to encounter plenty of opportunities that I was really excited about, meet an assortment of amazing people, and have really magical moments, so far, throughout my life. The less fortunate part of this, is that my immediate reaction so many of the timesContinue reading “Rules of Roles”
Learn Your Learning Process
As I try to explain what, to me, is a simple math concept after my son gets a problem wrong, I watch frustration wash over my 8-year-old’s face. His little hands clamp into fits, his teeth clenched, and a small growl ripples out as he struggles to accept or even acknowledge, that the way heContinue reading “Learn Your Learning Process”
Secrecy vs Privacy
I’ve spent much of my life thinking everything had to be very black and white, right or wrong. I approached with the idea that anything that is “wrong” then needs to be kept from surfacing and only the good should show. Life isn’t really that black and white though. The more I experience, the moreContinue reading “Secrecy vs Privacy”
Feeding the Body
Have you ever felt so out of control that you’ll grab on to anything just to regain a sense of it? I once heard that children that have gone through traumatic experiences will hold their poop in and push themselves into constipation as an attempt to have a sense of control over part of theirContinue reading “Feeding the Body”
What’s in the Dark?
“We don’t expect a surgeon to have shame in sharing the same tools as a killer…” So I must confess as I make this reference that I’ve never really seen all of Star Wars but, we’ve all heard of the dark side, right? “Come to the dark side”, as memes, advertisements and jokes of allContinue reading “What’s in the Dark?”
Eyes Black, Heart Attack
The second time I admitted myself into the hospital, part of what drove me there was not understanding the strange things I was starting to experience. I thought, certainly, that I must be going crazy. I still don’t always understand what I’m seeing, hearing, feeling – but it’s gotten a bit easier to allow myselfContinue reading “Eyes Black, Heart Attack”
Excitement, Energy and What are we doing with it?
There’s so many questions I could ask to start this one off so let’s get them all out there and in your head. What do you find yourself the most excited when you are doing? What do you do to get yourself excited about a new day? What is excitement even and what can weContinue reading “Excitement, Energy and What are we doing with it?”
Duality and Love
“…I started my transformation as an explosion, and eruption of me.” I spent a few months working with a life coach before settling on the fact that I was much too prone to suggestion to be working with another person to create the life of my dreams. Sure, it’s helpful to be given the toolsContinue reading “Duality and Love”
