Okay, so apparently, my FL life consists mostly of photographing flowers on the way to buy coffee or food, lol. ..notice I said photographing them, not actually contributing to them staying alive in any way, ever ๐คทโโ๏ธ These were outside of Whole Foods last weekend and I couldn’t resist capturing them before going in ๐ทContinue reading “Check-in and thoughts on the writing process”

Multidimensional perspective on “mental illness”
Dimensions are states of mind or perspectives. It’s the lens through which we view the world. 2D Overidentification with the physical earth plane and no awareness of or tolerance for anything beyond that. 3D Acknowledgment of information beyond the 5 senses, but not a lot of access to it. 4D HasContinue reading “Multidimensional perspective on “mental illness””
Being good
Yes, and actually trying too hard to be “good” is often the opposite of being whole. Usually, by adulthood, our ideas of what constitutes as “good” are not actually ours. If questioned, we may not even be able to say with certainty where they came from ๐ค . ..an episode of Full House or 7thContinue reading “Being good”
The way forward
We interrupt our regularly scheduled program for a quick message from our sponsor: Puffy is broadcasting live from the inside of her chewy tunnel ๐ Just kidding. As much as I would love to make her responsible for this, it’s really all me ๐คฆโโ๏ธ I’m hopping on for a second to report that I haveContinue reading “The way forward”
Excerpt from the book!
Full moon pic and jellyfish photo shoot from where they washed up after a storm ๐ฎ Oh, and a quote from my book! I just finished the rough draft ๐ “As a general rule, the human experience is meant to be witnessed, allowed, and supported, as opposed to analyzed, dissected, and pathologized. Iโve seen howContinue reading “Excerpt from the book!”
Guess who’s writing a book ๐
I was catching up with a friend last night over the phone, & they asked, “What was the highlight of your trip to Austin?” Of course, there were a million, as I was there for a month, but in that moment, all I could think to say was, “Galveston.” ๐ If you’re not familiar withContinue reading “Guess who’s writing a book ๐”
Symptom bearers
All is well in the morning light ๐ชทโจ๏ธ I sent this picture to a friend and was going to caption it: “All the hell this little thing has put us through.” ๐ But then I thought better and changed it to “All of our own hell she has mirrored back to us.” ๐ See, PuffyContinue reading “Symptom bearers”
The likelihood of change
This has been one of the hardest lessons of my entire life. Over the past few years, I’ve learned to gauge potential for change by assessing how committed the person is to their protector parts and harmful behavior. If they’re still viewing the behaviors as protective and themselves as someone who needs protecting (victim consciousness),Continue reading “The likelihood of change”
Burn the ships
. ..but leave a canoe? ๐ค๐ I listened to a podcast a few night ago where a man discussed the concept of symbols and the importance of putting something into place on the physical plane to anchor your intention- or to show you mean business, basically. He was specifically talking about marriage and how, forContinue reading “Burn the ships”
Me again ๐โโ๏ธ
One last thing: (follow-up to previous entry) The reason I said that lack of self-respect isn’t solely responsible for keeping someone in a challenging relationship is that increasing self-respect doesn’t always result in them leaving it. If something is causing something else, then fixing that thing should result in an end to the thing thatContinue reading “Me again ๐โโ๏ธ”
