You can never be lost inside your own body.

There are seasons in life where things feel steady, and some where everything feels like it’s moving at once... A relationship changes. Sometimes it’s obvious, but other times, it’s harder to name. You just wake up one day and think, “I don’t think this fits me anymore.” Those moments can feel unsettling. This moment came to me after I gave my TEDx talk in February, and it actually shook me to my core. Because the version of myself that knew how to move through life didn't quite exist in the same way anymore. And there’s a gap between who I’ve been and who I'm becoming. Has this after happened to you? I feel like a lot of us try to rush through that space, looking for quick answers & something to hold onto. And for the first time in my life.... I'm not doing that. Because this part isn’t meant to be rushed. It’s where you start asking different questions. Not “What should I do?” Not “What will make this make sense?” That kind of honesty has made me all KINDS of uncomfortable, but it's also shedding away the parts of me that aren't REAL and true to who I am at my core. I want to remind you that if you're here... you're in transition. You're not lost. Someone once told me "you could never be lost in your own body", and that really stuck with me. Because transition requires space, not pressure. It will come. Just not always on the timeline you want. X, |

(Found on Pinterest, Artist Unknown) Good morning Reader, There's a part of you that's been trying to get your attention for years. 👀 You haven't been ignoring her on purpose...I know. 🫶 You've just been busy. You've had things to do, people to take care of, jobs to keep, fires to put out. So when she showed up — through the headache that wouldn't quit, the tension you couldn't explain, the fatigue that no amount of sleep seemed to fix — you took note. Maybe you took a pill or something 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,...
Good morning, Reader! It's my birthday today & I wanted to do something different: I decided to write a love letter to the women in my life. Because that is what I'm celebrating today. To the woman who drives across the state on a Friday night to Sacred Circle because something in her knows it matters. 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...
