You Are Enough
Have you ever? Have you just ever? Have you ever just wanted to yell so loud, “YOU DON’T GET ME! Never have, NEVER WILL!” Then you breathe in. Breathe out. And it hits you; You don’t have to yell at all because they don’t get it and they don’t need to get it. I have… — read more

Let’s Look at the Bigger Picture
Making something out of nothing is an art form. I think it comes from not having much growing up. It comes from lack. When you lack and then receive the things you are lacking, you know how to make the best of it. How to appreciate small things and underestimated people. Coming from a background… — read more

Stand Still in the Storm
Stop playing so small Hiding in your corner Wearing muted colors Hair pushed back Light lipgloss on Covered up Listening Not saying how you feel Speak up Even if your voice quivers I’ll listen to you I see you I see me I see your pain Your shyness Your ‘not so sure how this will… — read more

Healing is a Journey
People often ask me, “How do you have it together? You seem like you have the answers but you’re so young.” I don’t have it all together. I’m just dedicated to the journey. I’m dedicated to this journey of life. I have to be or life would swallow me whole and I would be lost.… — read more

Lies We Tell Ourselves
Be right there. One second. Yea! No. I’m ok. I’m fine. Nothing’s wrong. It was my fault. It wasn’t their fault. I don’t have time. Life’s short. It’s ok. I forgive you. No sweat. Today, I’m working out. I’ll do it later. Tomorrow is another day. And on and on. We do this… — read more

Show Up Anyway
I sat on the couch completely unmotivated. It’s been a long weekend, how? I’m not sure. I think the weather is partially to blame. Saturday was gorgeous out and I spent the day on the deck doing yoga and meditated. Sunday was a total wash but I made the best of it for Mother’s Day… — read more

Forgiveness Does not Come with Conditions
When you forgive someone, you don’t forgive with conditions. You don’t forgive and say, I forgive you if you… That’s not how forgiveness works. Imagine God forgiving us only if we did and behaved a certain way. Imagine Him not forgiving us until we did what he asked of us. Of course, there are morals… — read more

Own Your Feelings
We are so egotistical that even when something we read is bad we think it’s about us. We think and make everything about us. If I’m scrolling through facebook and see someone write something offensive or post a quote that is trying to state something they can’t seem to say, I immediately will go through… — read more

Cry It Out
It’s odd, this feeling of shifting. It really is slow, however, it’s meant to be. It’s meant to be slow because you need to feel it. You need to feel the change happen in order to fully grasp it and to say to yourself; this is what it feels like to let go. To take… — read more
