NIVEA: a dutch acronym for...
|
Niet Invullen Voor Een Ander (NIVEA) It means: don't fill in the blanks for someone else. You know what they say about "assuming": it makes an ASS out of U and ME. 😉 We assume we know other peoples intentions... what they say, do, or don't do. It's a guessing game, not rooted in facts. We have a tendency to personalize a lot of what happens to us, & that's normal.. but I'm here to remind you that not everything is about you. We are all operating for our own level of perceptions, behaviors/patterns, trauma, etc. Let people be people, Reader, & free yourself from the fulfilling prophecy that you are "unlovable," "not enough," or anything else you may be telling yourself about a situation you may find yourself in right now. You are not what happened to you, my love. Send this to someone who needs to hear it. 🖤 See you next week. (Check out the upcoming events for June HERE. And there's still time to join us for our FIRE & DRUM ceremony this Friday!) X, |

Who walks in tired, sometimes a little resistant, and leaves lighter than she came in. Who keeps coming back even when life is full of things asking for the same hours... To the women who found...
If you’ve watched Disneys “Soul”, you know the part of the movie where Joe realizes he doesn't feel any different after having his "big moment" he's been waiting for. It goes a little something like this: I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to an older fish and says, "I’m trying to find this thing they call the ocean." "The ocean?" says the older fish. "That’s what you’re in right now." "This?" says the younger fish. "This is water. What I want is the ocean." We often miss the very...
