Lost and Alone in the French Alps
Looking back, I can trace some of my life’s biggest adventures to a simple action from my sister. She’d introduced me to Tommy (a very long time ago), a colleague of hers, who had overshared his penchant for Italian-looking women, and I ticked that box.

A Pachelbel Canon Night
When I was writing my first book, the world around me was asleep, and I was awake in the wonder of the light. Every guidance was in the nuance of the living form. I had a house then and not much else, but I had a room for which to grow and live, and everything else was a beam of light to see by. I lived in prayer, in meditation, and there was no radical transformation. It was more of a sifting and taking it all in.

The Summoning of the Tree Spirit
Thank God for Christmas. And Hanukkah. And Yule. And probably a myriad of midwinter gatherings of light, food, and family I’ve never even heard of. Winter is tough, and most of us benefit from something to make it more bearable. Personally, I consider myself lucky to live in an era where frozen earth need not equate to a hungry belly, but even though I can gain eight hundred lumens of light at the flick of a switch, how much more pleasure is there in one hundred little five lumen bursts on a string? Or just fifteen in a candle’s steady glow?

A Winter Devotional
Large, fluffy white flakes swirl slowly to the ground in a gentle, choreographed waltz. Safe and warm inside my house, wrapped in a cozy blanket on the velvet couch, I watch in silence through the huge front window as everything becomes white. The world, time itself, lessens its pace to match the cadence of the first true snowfall.

When “Let’s Talk” Is a Trap:
Most of us grow up believing that “talking it out” is the mature, healthy, emotionally intelligent thing to do. And in genuinely respectful relationships, it is. Communication is essential for repair, understanding, and connection. But there is a painful truth many people learn only after being hurt: not every invitation to talk is an invitation to heal. Sometimes it is an invitation to be controlled, destabilized, or emotionally ambushed.

When Silence Becomes a Wall: The Cost of Withheld Communication and the Healing Power of Inquiry
When Silence Becomes a Wall Instead of a Window When a valued relationship suddenly goes quiet, trouble rarely lags far behind. I’m not speaking of the healthy pauses we sometimes need—those intentional, clearly expressed time‑outs that give the heart room to breathe and the nervous system space to settle. I’m speaking of a different kind of silence entirely: the reactive silence, the punishing silence, the silence meant to wound or control.

The Handshake Isn’t Dead
People forget how ancient certain gestures are. The handshake is one of them. A brief grip between two human hands started long before business cards, offices, or networking events. It began as proof that neither person carried a weapon. It was the original trust test, done in open view, palm out, fingers visible, nothing hidden. The motion settled nerves in a time when ambush and suspicion shaped daily life. Humans remember rituals that keep them alive. Even if modern culture forgets the origin story, the nervous system does not.

How to Find the Right Day Treatment Program in Your Area. AI-Generated.
Finding the right level of mental health or addiction care can feel overwhelming, especially when outpatient therapy isn’t enough but inpatient treatment seems too intensive. This is where day treatment programs, often called Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs), play an important role. These programs provide structured, comprehensive care during the day while allowing individuals to return home in the evening.

Examples of Trust in a Relationship People Often Miss
Trust isn't always loud. It does not only show up during big promises or dramatic moments. Trust in good relationships is frequently expressed through little, ordinary actions that many people ignore. On the Bloom Boldly platform, we believe that growth begins with awareness. When we recognize these subtle cues, relationships feel safer, deeper, and more robust.
