How to heal fully and properly.
Staying small
It seems as though we are all constantly searching for new ways to better ourselves. Everything in life never seems to be enough. When one goal is met, ten new ones have already started. Most people would see this as inspirational because being "ambitious" is considered a good quality. Especially with the rise of social media, so many people are seeing others display their successes and it motivates them to strive for those same results. At what point do we feel fulfilled?

2021: The Year Of The Ox
The ox in Chinese culture represents the pinnacle of strength in the face of adversity, an animal of great importance due to it's role in agriculture. Oxes are fully capable of achieving their goals by relentless strives towards personal success. They are not easily mailable to the persuasion of others, nor their environment. They persist in doing things according to their ideals and capabilities, and are not afraid to power down the beat of their own drum.

A Nordictrack Right in Front of Me
A Nordictrack, is a very unique way to get someone back on track. Track? The question could be assembled in a way of, what do you mean by track? Sure, a Nordictrack does have a track, duh, you walk on it, run on it, climb hills on it, or just stand on it. What about if a Nordictrack could heal you, meaning mentally and physically?

I Am Done Putting Out Your Fires
You light matches like its your hobby. Flicking them away carelessly. Some fizzle out into little piles of ash, harmless and unnoticed. Others start an uncontrollable blaze, taking down everything in its way. I imagine you must get some kind of sick pleasure out of these damaging fires. You stay to watch them burn and even stoke the flames. Perhaps the warmth of the flames is the only warmth you can find. I pitied you at first, but I have seen you reignite every fire that got put out. Rekindling the ashes desperate to find one more spark. Hoping for one last opportunity to be rescued.

Reflections On a Doldrum Year
Whilst discussing this past year and the prospect of a new, perhaps more uplifting one on the horizon with a friend yesterday, I found myself uttering the words, “I’ve never been so excited to put a needle in my arm.” If, in the late stages of last year, I somehow knew that my mouth would be forming this sentence, I’d have assumed I’ve hit some sort of rock bottom, wondering how I, a person who truly fainted the last time I had bloodwork done for an annual physical, managed to develop this habit. I wouldn’t have been able to anticipate the events that would shortly follow, and the overwhelming amount of anxiety paired with the slight optimism a new number in the calendar year brought me now seems humorous in hindsight. It’s not rare for the winter months to stir a potent concoction of melancholy and needless recollection and analysis in my head, and though many think pieces will be written about the year that was 2020, the majority of which will undoubtedly be much more eloquent than this, I can’t resist the impulse to try and wrap my hands around this period of time that has slipped through so many of our fingers. So how does one reflect on a year that in many ways, wasn’t, yet also rattled our brains with unending news cycles and new alarms?

Choosing to live
At the dawning of 2021, I chose life. It was an inadvertent New Year's Resolution in that the timing was coincidental. I have terminal cancer. Have lived with ever increasing cancer in my body for 14 years. In June 2020, my palliative specialist told me that based on my CT scans, I had between 3-6 months to live. It is now the end of January 2021 and I am still here, still living well although my energy levels are decreasing.

Emotional Mirrors
We can’t all have something in common, we all vary in our individual ways. Last year, though, it’s like most people experienced things that changed their life, and changed their personalities. I felt connected to people all around the world, we for the first time in my lifetime, had a worldwide experience. Last year was full of unprecedented changes in my life, most that have led to positive change.

Love the Skine It's In
As Kathy was doing laundry, she began to rearrange the clothes in her husband's drawer. By her surprise, she came across a Moleskine small black notebook. She's never seen this book before and she wondered why her husband placed it underneath the clothes in his bottom drawer. Instinctively, she knew it was hidden for a reason and she wanted to know why. She debated if she should have a Dora the Explorer moment. As she paced the floor with sheer restraint; she remembered her vows.
