Making the most out of each day
As most bibliophiles (such as myself) will tell you, if you can’t find the answer to someting, then look in a book. (Forget that whole Google thing!) But what happens when what you’re looking for can’t be found in a book? If it can’t be found on the Google? How do we find the answers... Continue Reading →
I was reminded recently that each of us has a light inside of us. It is this light that shows us the best parts of ourselves and guides us to be the best person we can be. It is so easy to forget about that light when life gets difficult. We allow the darkness of... Continue Reading →
"Be Gentle With Yourself." This is something my therapist has told me - a few times actually. These are words that I need to remind myself of often. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I am a classic overthinker. Everything someone says or doesn't say gets played over and over in my... Continue Reading →
In a movie I was watching, one of the characters had a yin yang tattoo representing the perfect union of opposites. For some reason this line alone was what stood out to me about the film and got me thinking most. I think that more of us need to have a yin yang tattoo. Well,... Continue Reading →

Sometimes we must break in order to become whole. I believe that like the seasons or the phoenix, our lives, our emotions, our thoughts must fall apart before they can come back together. The pressure that builds inside can only keep building so much before you break. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - you... Continue Reading →
Lately I've been feeling sick. No, not Coronavirus sick (although that did cross my mind and I started looking up symptoms). I haven't been able to really eat since Thanksgiving, except after I exercise. I have a whopper of a headache that doesn't seem to abate. I have alternated between not being able to sleep...

Divorce is hard.Therapy is hard.Collecting the pieces of yourself is hard.Life is hard. And yet - each and every one of these things, each difficult thing we face is beautiful. (I'm sorry, what?!) It's true. In the midst of each one of our difficult moments, they suck - and they suck hard. But when we... Continue Reading →
