Our society rewards self-abandonment. We are praised and validated at every turn for operating from our ego’s desires (aka the “out front” self). Although I’m not one to vilify the ego, as it usually takes the form of a wounded inner child and/or protector part, and has probably helped us get where we are today;Continue reading “Soul callings”

“Losing it” part 2
An open letter to anyone that’s experienced a “mental break,” “psychotic episode,” an inpatient psychiatric stay, etc: Congratulations.

Miracle moment
I had a long drive this morning and was listening to a live You Tube video on alchemizing our challenging experiences into strength and using them to propel us forward. The video acknowledged the importance of honoring our story, but also spoke to what can happen if we never move beyond it. It reminded meContinue reading “Miracle moment”
Hold the vision
Who has ever set out to accomplish something, then immediately faced multiple roadblocks and seemingly insurmountable obstacles? πββοΈ I was raised Christian and was taught these events were from the devil.

Time machine
Has anyone else found themselves “doing 2014” recently? Several people I know (including myself) have felt called to revisit a decision we made back then (divorce, a move, job, etc), or to tap into that version of ourselves in some way. 2014 has been “up” for me personally because in the past three weeks, I’veContinue reading “Time machine”
The only prayer we’ll ever need
Occasionally, when my energy is balanced, the weather is nice, and I’m feeling hopeful about life, spontaneous “prayers” will just surface out of nowhere- sometimes for people that I haven’t talked to or even thought about in years. I used ” ” when I typed prayers because these are more like thoughts that drop-in combinedContinue reading “The only prayer we’ll ever need”
