Something that helps me when I start drifting away from myself and getting too caught up in other people is to remind myself of these two things: 1. My needs/boundaries/experiences are valid even if others do not understand, agree with, or respect them. 2. It's not necessary to convince others of the validity of my … Continue reading I don’t need to convince anyone of anything
Love in the mess
It doesn't appear I've made much "progress" if you look at my life right now. In many ways I'm more non-functioning than ever. Been sick on and off for months. I have crazy anxiety that leaves me terrified to be left alone. What you don't see is my inner landscape. Despite the anxiety, I'm more … Continue reading Love in the mess
My 2019 Soundtrack
It's that time again! For 2017 I shared about every single song I connected with that year. That was way too much to do again for 2018 so I just shared about the albums I loved that year. And now for this year, I'm just going to share the highlights... the songs I loved and … Continue reading My 2019 Soundtrack
Lunar Fertility
Three of my four children were conceived during a first quarter moon phase, the same moon phase at the time of my birth.
An update before I update
I've been rather quiet on the blog lately, but don't worry... I'm working on several posts right now. It was a pretty rough autumn and I'm still trying to recover, more or less. But I've finally been able to integrate some things in my system this month and feel the familiar urge to write and … Continue reading An update before I update
Divine Provision or a Divine Test? Wrestling with Ethics and Choosing Gratitude
Before we went to the river walk yesterday, I was imagining just how great it would be if I could find some turkey feathers on the walk (I especially love incorporating feathers into my artwork). I've only found two turkey feathers during my countless walks in my 9 years in Maine. So I didn't think … Continue reading Divine Provision or a Divine Test? Wrestling with Ethics and Choosing Gratitude
Avril Lavigne and Me: Thoughts on Authenticity
This morning I woke up with an old Avril Lavigne song stuck in my head. Appropriate, since I had just dreamed about going back to middle school, and I listened to Lavigne's freshman album Let Go on repeat when I was in 8th grade. I'm used to dreaming of going back to high school. It's … Continue reading Avril Lavigne and Me: Thoughts on Authenticity
just a mirror
August 7th, 2017 God bless the Positives: The motivational speakers, the encouragers, the deep quote repeaters, the sunny smilers, the overcomers and rise-abovers God bless them. I am not one of them. I'm the moon who goes through her phases, where light is overcome by shadow, and where shadow eventually gives way to light... but … Continue reading just a mirror
Truth invites a wrestling match
This started as a ramble on Facebook that kept going and going and so I figured I'd make it a blog post instead. The internet exposes you to so many conversations and I never know if I really want to be the one to come in and drop a bomb with my questions or observations … Continue reading Truth invites a wrestling match
Navigating social media
Apologies to my email subscribers... you may have received a post that was not meant to be published (I've been having trouble with my WordPress app since I updated it). So if you read a post titled "20" that seems incomplete... yes, it's incomplete 🙂 I'm still working on my spiritual journey series, and it's … Continue reading Navigating social media
