I am bouncing around the reverb sites for prompts that suit me. Call it crazy, I call it an act of empowering myself to choose. Day 4 Healing: What healed you this year? I healed the emotional connection to body image. I healed my heart and forgave. I healed my wounded little girl. I healed [...]

December 31 – Core Story What central story is at the core of you, and how do you share it with the world? Once upon a time there was a sweet freckle faced girl who lived house at the bottom of hill. This little girl dreamed of a life where she could speak without judgement, [...]
the dream

I had a dream last night that stayed with me for hours throughout the morning. It was dream where I woke to tears. The more I thought about the dream, the more I cried. The dream symbolized to me the recent months of upheaval in my life. It symbolized the lack of connection I have [...]
decisions

It seems as though there are decisions of all magnitude in my life right now. Making decisions to make a decision. Small decisions where the impact is minimal and large decisions where the impact is tremendous. The trickle down effect to all those decisions and consequences. I am overwhelmed with the decisions and the potential [...]

The Universe is giving me those subtle taps to get on with what I know to be my souls purpose. How many of those subtle taps am I gonna endure til I get it? ”The inner self of every human waits patiently until we discover it; then it extends an invitation to enter the luminous [...]
my path
Posted in life, tagged life, love, reflections, spirituality on August, 6, 2010 | 2 Comments »
The path in which I have walked. The literal path of self discovery. The path that meandered through the woods of acceptance and compassion. Acceptance for what is, and compassion for what isn’t. My path took me through having a child with a disability, learning about and owning my stuff in relationships, and ultimately allowing myself to [...]

I recalled the other day a conversation I once had with a doctor or psychologist many years ago. I asked this person if there would be a time when my girl “peaks” and then the development slows in relation to her biological age. I wondered if she would continue the trend. I had it in [...]
Steel Walls

STEEL WALLS Aqua colored dress Lonely and wondering why. Strawberry hair and large green eyes. Being questioned, Pain in the heart. It is heavy. A large steel box, Rhythmic as it runs. Walls are built like this, Cold, hard walls. Let me out, let me out. Frightened and contained. It is opened with force. Free. [...]
choice and surrender

SURRENDER: to give oneself up, as into the power of another; submit or yield. CHOICE: an act or instance of choosing; selection Two words that have been reverberating into my heart this last month. Combining the two words into the same context goes something like this: choosing to surrender. Choosing to release, thus surrendering. Releasing the tribal culture of what WAS and being in the beauty of what is NOW. Choosing to [...]

I spent time looking through old photos albums the other day before my girls birthday. Some might see this as a self-inflicted torture for an already emotional momma, but it was really a great form of grief therapy. Through pictures I was able to recall so many moments in time. The moment of birth when [...]
