How to heal fully and properly.
Beginning of an Empath
Throughout my younger formative years, I was often ridiculed, and criticized by others who I called ”close.” It was difficult for others to understand me, and more difficult for me to allow others to become close to me. I have always wondered why I would often go home, and feel utterly drained from the stress of school and home. Why was I being drained? Why did I allow myself to be drained? I numerously asked myself.

Moonstone: The Goddess Stone
I remember when I first learned about moonstone. I had been somewhat into crystals and their magical, spiritual uses for about two years when I stumbled upon this particularly powerful crystal. The moonstone has been long regarded as a stone of new beginnings and of feminine power, and as a feminist, this resonated with me, especially as I faced my first Valentine's Day as a single woman in many years. I purchased the crystal from some local witches and immediately headed home to set it in my windowsill to gain power from the moon that night.

Is anxiety holding you back ?
I had been trying to blog for weeks. In my previous blog (some weeks before) I had written about being ready. I was on the edge and more that ready to move on and be the success that life intended for me to be. I ask you what is it then ,that after such fire about getting out there and doing "what I need to do" ,that makes me sit and not move forward. Was it that I just cooled off? Was I just having a moment and got over it all just as quickly as I was set into motion? I readily blamed it on sheer procrastination. Instead of actually doing the work of moving forward with my blogging, or writing my sermon, or doing homework;I would sit and sit and think and think ,but not DO anything productive.I came up with strategies,wrote out plans,talked about it and even began many of my projects but never finishing anything. This sounded to me like the classic symptoms of procrastination or just laziness even.

What do you do when you have no clue?
To say that 2020 was a hard year for literally everyone on the planet, is like saying that the sky is blue. In my 35 years of existence on this wonderful thing we call Earth- I had never had a year that compared to this one, and let's be honest other than some of our Grandparents I don't think anyone has. I think what made this year particularly difficult for me was I was coming off of high that was my 2019- the first real "high year' of my life.

I woke up today
I woke up today... Feeling better than I did yesterday and the past few yesterday’s. I appreciate it. I inhale consciously and thank my body for feeling something other than unworthiness and meaninglessness or simply nothing at all.

Kick Rocks
Valentine’s Day comes just one day a year. Although I am definitely not single this year, I’ve spent plenty of holidays where I was flying solo. From being dumped because he didn’t want to buy a present to finally being fed up with their shenanigans, people become single even if it is not of their own choosing. For those in need, here is my epic Anti-Valentine’s Day playlist for your enjoyment.

Find Yourself to Grow
Today is the day for love according to Western societal culture, other known as Valentine's Day. I wrote an article leading up to today. How am I feeling today? I'm single and embracing self-love in new ways every, single, day. I woke up to get coffee and my roommate and her new fiance greeted me. She had her hand up showcasing her new ring. After taking it in and giving hugs, I sighed a sense of relief and in that moment, I felt more comforted than I thought I would. You may already know that I've been single for the past 5 months so relatively newly single and I've been learning a lot about myself and relationships in general from that relationship. You can wish for love but you can't force love. Wanting love doesn't guarantee having love especially when another person is involved. I knew that I could no longer look for love in my partner and today I'm finally at peace with that.

The Bandana
The Bandana It was a cold Sunday afternoon as she sat at the table staring out into what felt like an abyss. The big oak table was heavy underneath her forearms as she pondered. She took in the strong smell of stain and poly, finding some brief joy in the fact that she had recently brought the old table back to life. This year required she keep her hands busy as much as possible. Since last March it had been too quiet and too loud all at the same time.
