How to heal fully and properly.
Finding Contentment in the Rhythms of an Everyday Life
As my daughter's second birthday approached, I found myself thinking a lot about the first few months of her life. He arrived on Sunday morning as winter gave him spring, full of life and ready to accept his personality as a brand new person. There was snow blowing on the ground, and the sunrise that day was full of anticipation and ignorance coming along and waiting for something impossible to predict.

A Beginner’s Guide To Trying New Things
I agree: I was afraid to try yoga for the first time. I know, I know, it’s not a bungee overflow or a glide in the sky, activities that allow for a certain amount of fear. In fact, yoga appears to have been relatively mild. But I was still scared.

My Reflection and Apology…To ME!
Healing can come in many constructive ways! It can be wondrous or dark. It can come though a company of friends or being alone. How one approach it is up to them. I am a woman of many stories to tell, but none could be as powerful than the letter I’ve written to myself.

The Healing Quilt
I am the owner of a healing quilt. It drapes delicately over my couch. If you saw it, you’d probably dismiss it as a quaint piece of décor. A few years ago, I would’ve probably thought the same thing, but this quilt tells quite a different story. Although not magical nor enchanted, it did in fact start the healing process of its creator. Me. The simple patchwork quilt, measuring no bigger than forty-eight inches by twenty-five inches is the physical manifestation of my resolution to be healed. Grief. Anxiety. Depression. Unforgiveness. Perfectionism. Healed from the hot mess of scraps I’d become (pun intended).

Goal: Distraction
My summer had been wonderful. I’d gotten a big royalty check for my translation of The Federalist Papers. I hadn’t seen my younger brother’s teenage daughter and son, the loves of my life, since my mother’s death 7 years before, and they had traveled from Iowa and visited me in Oregon. And shortly after they’d left in August, I’d adopted the most wonderful dog that has ever lived, Neelix.

How To Stay Positive
It's stressful, isn't it? Struggling to get out of bed every day — but you can’t. All you have to do is turn off your alarm, get up, and move on. Instead, you hide under your covers, avoiding health. You've lost jobs, friends, and more - but you still can't do it.

A Taste Of Thrill All My Own
Precursor; I ask that anyone reading this, please have integrity, and do not try to take this from me. I have been working on this project for six years, and I am so close to being able to start up my business with it.. All I need is the money to start up and the time to really focus on it. I have put a lot of time, energy, research, and dedication into this project, and it would break my heart if someone stole it from under me. I work tirelessly to support my infant daughter by myself, and this is one of the major ways I will be able to make her proud of me, and one of the few things that I do that makes me happy in all this Hell that I have been going through, so please, let’s keep our thoughts our own! Also, trigger warning: This briefly mentions abuse and abusive acts, so read with caution if those subjects are triggering for you!

Momma
Momma taught me by action. As I interpret her actions, poise, and strength, I can see the shadow of lessons in her walk. There were so many lessons and blessings in her actions and desire. As I write, I testify in advance that even while things fell apart things fell together. It was those moments that brought us to this very time wherein we have the ability to change our perspective. A perspective that speaks to what it means to push through in the face of adversity and walk on in spite of it all.

Darkness
writing...Why I'm,I faIling for the same things in life. Seems like everything I truly work for goes downhill the next day, but for me it's like a roller coaster that goes up and down. I need to find that stopping point an change this cycle and find true happiness. But that bad seed always finds it's way back and the darkness comes next. But then I find a special ray of light of sunshine beneath all the blackness that surrounds me and this special light starts to take away all of this and shows me there is more things in this world then darkness that I was in. But I feel that I lost that light cause the darkness over took me once more can I finally break free the darkness and to be free to find that light again. To be free from the darkness is hard cause it's always lurking around every corner never knowing when it's coming. So each day waiting for the light that had made its presents known has dropped out of sight not being able to do this seems so dim. So how can things be if people can't let things be cause it's up to the one to find that light again. Cause it's one who has had spent a lifetime filled with darkness and the bad seed has made this person feel like a puppet in the life that was shared between them. Never feeling that one couldn't do anything right. But when the day came there was a glimpse of hope and one left and hope that the cycle could be broken. But that's not always true cause the darkness seems to find a way of coming back, so does the bad seed. For one who is trying to find love and live but it never last since the bad seed has planted a virus in the one wants freedom from the darkness. How come it takes a lot to deal with things fighting to live a life sharing, caring being who I am. To be free and tell this darkness you have no place in my heart. Cause the things in the life of the one wants life to be worth living for without barriers. But barriers can be broken if the one is ready to take that stand and walk with one foot in front of the other and walk right out the door and never look back. An to find their own light and never regret that decision the one has made. But since this person has seen that the only light is the one who has left behind the past of all things that made a prison of confinement within one selves.
