  1. @carolannie Thank you for this brilliant article. It's so #inspiring, a #mustread !

    I think that #ecogrief and how we come into action without getting overwhelmed, is one of the big topics of our time.
    Your way is a healing one, it connects people. We can build our communities by finding like-minded people, and this can change bigger structures or build new ones.

  3. Day -4: Morning!

    New day:
    Both good & bad
    Or Neither ?!

    Both pain & pleasure
    Both loss & love
    Both life & death

    The only constant is change.

    My heart can handle it all:
    I can
    Enjoy it all, and endure it all.

  5. When Pettiness Becomes a Family Trait

    Good day, beautiful people. 💛 Have you ever been around someone so genuinely petty that, after a while, you start wondering if it is genetic? I used to joke about that, but the older I get, the more I realize that some behaviors are not inherited through blood. They are inherited through example. Some people grow up watching grudges being held, retaliation being celebrated, betrayal being excused, and every disagreement being turned into a competition over who can hurt who more. […]

  7. If I Could Send One Message to My Past Self, This Is What I’d Say

     If I could send one message to my past self, I would not give myself a long speech about success, money, relationships, or the future. I would keep it simple. I would say, “Don’t overthink everything. Trust yourself, enjoy the moment, and remember that everything will work out in the end.” ❤️ I think about this message often because there was a time when I made almost everything harder than it needed to be. I spent so much time wondering whether I was making the right choice, […]

    He never fixed it because on rainy days it is too wet to work.

  12. So many layers…

    I'm dealing with trauma. With nightmares. With triggers. With flashbacks. And... It sucks big time! I am on a waiting list to receive help, but the lists are long, and will take several months before you get your first appointment... I have been diagnosed with many things, the last thing on my list was/is CPTSD... It was nice, in a way, to be diagnosed, as it meant my struggles had a name, and they were being recognized, and not dismissed. But with just a diagnosis, there's not much you can do. Yeah, you can use the web 🌐 to find information. You can talk about it with people that you trust. But, to really learn how to deal with the symptoms, with the struggles, you will probably need some professional support. Until that's available, you try to make the best of it, using the info you found online, and being grateful for those that offer their support to you when you need it. 💜 […]

  16. What Is Your True Voice?

    Reclaiming your voice isn’t necessarily about becoming louder. It can be about becoming more honest with yourself. It can be about allowing yourself to feel what you feel, express what you truly think, and give yourself permission to be seen and heard. It can begin with something as simple as a breath, a sound, a hum—or a willingness to listen inwardly. Your true voice may not sound the way you expect it to. It may come through singing. It may come through speaking. It may come through movement, emotion, silence, or simply knowing what feels true for you. For me, discovering my voice has been a journey of coming home to myself.

  18. CW: Massage

    Has anyone ever done craniosacral massage/therapy? I’m curious about it but don’t know anyone that’s actually done it.

    Healing from trauma isn’t the realm of Western medicine and I’m looking at more forms of somatic release, looking at the mind+body connection. Curious to hear anyone else’s experience.

    Bonus points if you’re in Indy and have a rec.

  22. The Gift of Slowing Down

    A Sunday Softening Practice

    As the years flow ever onward, I continue to seek quiet and calm—a softer pace, a slower life.

    The moments of stillness heal and refresh my spirit, allowing that sense of calm to flow into other areas of my life.

    I caution you, dear reader, though: do not believe for a moment that I am calm, cool, and collected at all times. I lose my temper. I become frustrated. I get overwhelmed. I have moments when I am anything but serene.

    And that’s okay.

    These moments of intense emotion are completely normal and natural. We all have our triggers, those little things that catch us off guard and remind us, Ah, yes. This is where I still have some work to do.

    Growth isn’t a destination. It is a continual unfolding.

    And sometimes, the best thing we can do for ourselves is simply create a little more space within which that growth can happen.

    The pace of modern life can make that difficult. There is always something competing for our attention. Another notification. Another headline. Another message. Another life to look at through a screen.

    For this reason, I continue to limit my time on social media.

    Less time scrolling and more time with my dog, with family and friends, with good books and cozy cups of tea. More time noticing the warmth of summer, the smell of the woods, the sound of birds. More time immersed in the moments of my own life, rather than scrolling past the lives of others.

    This has become one of the most beneficial gifts I can give myself:

    The gift of attention.
    The gift of noticing.

    When I slow down enough to notice, I find small moments of wonder everywhere.

    Screenshot

    A shaft of sunlight falling across the floor.

    The warmth of a cup held between my hands.

    The sound of birds outside the window.

    A walk through the woods.

    My dog’s ridiculous happiness at something I will never understand.

    None of these moments are particularly extraordinary. And yet, together, they make up a life.

    There is a simple, exquisite joy in actually being here for it.

    And it is often in these moments that I realize how little my frustration and impatience accomplish. Being angry about how life is unfolding does not change its unfolding. Worrying about what has already happened does not change the past. Trying to hurry what isn’t ready to happen only creates more tension within me.

    If only it were as easy to remember this in the middle of turmoil as it is when I am sitting quietly with a cup of tea.

    So I pause.

    I notice.

    I ask myself what is truly deserving of my attention—and what isn’t.

    I step away from habits that leave me feeling scattered and make room for the things that bring me back to myself.

    And slowly, I begin again.

    More deliberately.
    More intentionally.
    More authentically.

    Perhaps this is what slowing down really means.

    It isn’t necessarily about doing less. It is about being more fully present for what we are already doing.

    It is choosing to taste the coffee instead of drinking it while answering emails.

    Buzz the Nargle

    It is taking the long way home because the evening light is beautiful.

    It is reading a few pages of a book instead of reaching automatically for the phone.

    It is sitting quietly with your dog.

    It is allowing yourself to rest without feeling that rest must be earned.

    It is noticing.

    It is allowing yourself to arrive fully in the life that is already happening around you.

    And perhaps that is the greatest gift we can give ourselves—not another goal to accomplish, but the opportunity to actually experience our lives as they unfold.

    A Guided Meditation for Slowing Down and Living Deliberately

    If you’d like to take this idea a little further, I created a guided meditation to accompany this reflection.

    This gentle practice is an invitation to step away from the noise for a little while—to soften, become still, and reconnect with the simple beauty of being present.

    We slow the breath, settle into the body, and explore what it might feel like to move through life with a little more intention and a little less urgency.

    So find a comfortable place, press play, and give yourself permission to simply be here for a while.

    You don’t have to accomplish anything.
    You don’t have to get anywhere.
    You can simply slow down and notice.

    I try to be honest and transparent, but sometimes I wonder how much of myself I should show when I’m already struggling to be me.

  30. Meet the Author: The Story Behind It’s Not You, It’s Cancer

    I’m excited to be one of eight authors participating in the Fall Author Boutique in St. Augustine on September 26! Heather, the event organizer, recently sent me a few interview questions so readers could get to know more about me, my breast cancer journey, and the story behind It’s Not You, It’s Cancer. Since the interview shares so much about why I created the book, the companion coloring book, and the journal I’m currently developing, I thought I would share it here as […]
