However, the whole journey into asking ourself this question (and others like it) mayContinue reading “Affirmations and Asking Ourselves Uncomfortable Questions”

A Poem to Help Us Through the Week
Please try not to forget how truly strong you are. I know that’s easier said than done. I routinely forget my own inner strength and fall victim to my vices. Thankfully, I have friends and family that have the grace to remind me of the power within. I know many of us don’t have thatContinue reading “A Poem to Help Us Through the Week”
Good Things Are Coming! 2/22/22
Hello all, I hope everyone is having an amazing day today! For those of you interested in numerology, angel numbers and the spiritual, today is truly an enlightening day!

A Love Letter, Unsent
I tend to experience very high highs and very low lows. So on days like today, when I am even keeled and everything‘s fine, I ask myself what brings me here. Perhaps it’s the thought of us wading in tall grass, barefoot and blossoming with the lilies. Me grabbing your hand as the sky dimsContinue reading “A Love Letter, Unsent”
The Top of the Stack
It’s been a while since I posted a poem on the blog! I wanted to share one that I’ve been holding onto for a little while and incidentally titled it today.
Plans for 2022 and Unraveling Negativity!
January has always had a sort of romantic quality. It’s just the idea of a new beginning, all the potentialities and plans unfurling in my head.

Getting Philosophical with the Narrator in My Head
Do you ever pretend as if your life is being narrated back to you in the 3rd person? For example, “Julie went to the cabinet and grabbed a mug.” I tend to do this, especially after I’ve been reading a book for awhile. I’ll silently narrate my actions in my head. I’m not sure howContinue reading “Getting Philosophical with the Narrator in My Head”
The Fragility of the Self and Identifying Our Fears
Does it ever scare you to think that your entire self exists in your head? I’m not trying to say that the things you feel around you and your concept of reality is not real. What I mean is, your entire self-concept and personality exists in the space between your ears. It’s such a fragileContinue reading “The Fragility of the Self and Identifying Our Fears”
You Deserve a Voice
Growing in my self-confidence is one of my biggest goals right now. As I’ve mentioned before, for a long time, I trusted that other people knew better than me about the path forward.
