healing
How to heal fully and properly.
How I overcame everything that “Statistically” I shouldn’t have.
Growing up as an adopted child & being raised by a single mother was hard. For us both. We were two totally different people- with different minds, outlooks and experiences. I started out in a loving home, before I was taken away by my biological mother. Then, everything changed.

Perseverance is Key.
Perseverance is Key. Pain. Suffering. Anguish. Discomfort. All of these I have experienced. We all have pain we will face at some point in our lives. From an early age I experienced pain and suffering too heavy for a child. My mother told me as a child I was born with a rare disease, which caused joint pain and swelling. At five years old my hand closed at the touch of a cold milk container and had to be pried open. I was always given the bed or couch to lay on since I could not get up from the hard floor. I felt shunned by the other children as they huddled together telling ghost stories while lying in their sleeping bags. I avoided sleep overs for this very reason. As a teenager Ben-Gay and Icy Hot were my friends. I smelled like an elderly person but did not care because it helped with the pain in my knees.

Dear, Chirography
We met at a very young age. In fact, I was not the only one that you were introduced to at the time. Our relationship wasn’t the kind you see in movies, where two people fall in love in a matter of days. That doesn’t phase me though for those kinds of love seem not to last as long. I found it hard to connect during the early stages, hard to understand and to relate. It would frustrate me, seeing you get along with so many others while we couldn’t. There were times where I felt like giving up on you and crossing you out of my life every time we were forced together. I couldn’t bring myself to do that though for I learned very quickly that you would be an important part of my life that I would need forever.

Thankful to Be Me
A few quick blinks in an attempt to get rid of the haze blurring my vision. A shake of my pigtail-donned head to get the soil off my hair. The first deep breath the moment my mom removed the dry mud from my nose and throat. And the very first conscious thought I can remember after that little fall down a muddy rabbit hole... Looking at my tiny grazed hands, all my sparkling eyes focused on was the dirty bundle of plush I had grabbed onto during the tumble.

Eliminate Negative Thoughts
By stimulating an automatic response and timing the anchor once it reaches its peak, release it. Collapse Anchors are useful to be able to overcome a negative state....ask the client to think of a state they would rather be in. Stack that anchor several times in the same location.then get the client to recall the negative state, once only. And anchor it in a different place. Fire both anchors at the same time. The process of Chaining Anchors is the sequential process of moving to a significantly different state.

Who Is In The Mirror?
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Like what do you really see? Have you given it much thought, who that person is staring back at you? Do you know him/her intimately, or just on the surface? Do you know what makes you tick, makes you smile, breaks your heart and where your decisions come from? Most of us do not take the time to really sit down and take a look at ourselves, who this soul is behind the eyes, the flesh and bone. WHO AM I? have you ever really asked yourself this question? And if not, why not? What prevents you from sneaking a peak behind the curtain to get a look at the mechanics of YOU? Who is the one pulling the strings, who says 'action', who is in control of lighting and makeup so to speak? At roll call, who participates and who hangs back?

Thankful for Queen Bey
IF it’s one thing Queen Bey teaches us in her last Rendition of “The Lion King” it’s that forgivness is key. That’s a sentiment that we preach today far more than we practice. It’s harder to let go of hurt than it is to revel in the pain. Yet if our hearts knew forgiveness as easily as it knew shame or guilt, Love would be far more easy to come by.

Tumultuous Thanks
This year has felt like the above picture. Overwhelming, draining. It's been a feeling of drowning in my own life. A feeling of being pushed every way but the right way. The path has become flooded and there's only mud. It's as if the boat was going down and there is no way to save it. Anyone else feel that way? Oh, yeah...the whole damn world.

The Broke College Grad Diaries
Welcome back to another chapter in The Broke College Grad Diaries! It’s finally turkey week and though COVID-19 has made things a little different this year, we should still take the time to talk about the things we’re most thankful for! Following the theme of thanksgiving, I wanted to discuss gratitude today because it’s been important to my healing process, kept me semi-sane through quarantine, and helped me love life again – so if you’re going through some tough times, I hope my story inspires you. Also, if you haven’t read my article about gratitude and how it can positively benefit not just individuals, but our communities as well, then I’ll link that here.

The many things to be thankful for
As bad as 2020 has been around the world I have to be thankful for a number of reasons. Sure there have been a ton of bad things that had happened in the year. I know there are a lot of people suffering and I even had a huge break up earlier in the year. Still I have tons of things to celebrate.

Why I’m Thankful For The Falls
I can't believe I actually understand this now. I could not see this 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, even 2 months ago! I was trying so hard to make some stuff work that was just never supposed to work! Yes, I'm aggressively saying this! It was freaking exhausting, and I failed miserably at all of it. Or did I?
