anger
I went for a neighborhood walk at sunset today. I felt so angry & needed to move. I stomped on all the dry leaves in my path. They made a crunching noise that was almost satisfying. I was reminded of the epic tantrums I threw as a kid where I’d slam my bedroom door more…

Today I want you to know that all of your efforts make a difference. I want you to understand and feel deep in your bones that everything you put your energy toward carries your love in a way that heals. It’s all worth it. It’s all witnessed. It’s all seen. It is seen by the…

Today’s message from love: Take a few long, slow, deep breaths. Take a few more. Breathe deeply all the way down into your pelvis. Breathe space between your ribs. Breathe into your back body.

It’s been a long time since I wrote a long post. This has been on my mind for a while and tonight I wanted to share with you some very raw, personal thoughts. Depression is something that I’ve had a lot of experience with for a really long time. I’ve done a lot of research,…

Re: food. I’ve struggled in the past (as recently as yesterday evening) to eat in a good way. Oh. My. God. There is SO much involved with eating in a good way. A least it seems that way to me at this point. I’m defining eating in a good way for myself as consuming excellent…
