How to heal fully and properly.
The journey to finding yourself
Many of us are on that self discovery journey of 'finding ourselves'. Often many, especially women feel that they need to take some time out from their current routine of life to break away and go and find themselves. Often this can involve taking a trip to somewhere new by themselves, or breaking up with a partner, so they have more time to focus on themselves and can devote all the time to this journey.

Finding Power in Pain
What can pain do for us vs. TO us? Finding our Power in Pain. We have explored the power of music and how it helps us navigate our difficult emotions, and now it is time to look at pain. Finding our power when in pain and finding the power of pain.

2020
We are here. It is finally the year 2020. We ended another decade and about to start to a new one. I know there’s a lot of things to look back on and reflect in these past ten years. Some good & bad days, our best moments and worst moments. Some lessons we learned. Ten years is a lot, right? Anyone can relate how these lessons they have taught you something and these are some things to help you go into the new decade.

To the people who rejected us: thank you!!!
We have all experienced rejections by people that we thought they were the “one”. As painful as it might seem initially, our friends are there to remind us that everything happens for a reason and someone else is out there for us. It is comforting to have that “wise” piece of advice, but it doesn’t seem to help us feel better and we think we will not get over it.

The Limitation of Labels
Everything in life is labeled in some way. It starts from the moment of our birth. We are automatically labeled as male or female. We celebrate this with gender reveals and pinks and blues. It’s the way that we were taught and that’s the way most of us think that the world is. It’s true because that’s what the world does. From the second that we are born, we are put into a box and we are expected to stay in that box. But for some of us, we discover that those labels are uncomfortable. We go on with our lives and we continue to function in that box and even confirm that box. But there is more to us. We are scared to scribble outside of the lines. We are taught to care about what other people think so we come to the conclusion that we are stuck in that box.

Who are you?
It's funny how many of us do not know quite how to answer that question. Most of us give a short version of the answer. For many, this can feel like a loaded question. Sometimes the response requires a bit more self-reflection than one would like to admit. Truth is the majority of us do not like self-evaluation, especially in response to another individual. But what if this particular question was self-imposed? When was the last time you did an identity check? There is nothing wrong with a routine identity check-in.

The Object of Fear
Fear Feeling of fear. Fear To tell others they are wrong. Fear to make them understand even though you know more than they do. How do you communicate then? How do you discuss your opinion on the same topic knowing they think the opposite? Validation is an important concept. It give us the right of others to be “honest” so we are included and are truthful but is it too much to think you both are right? What happens then? Does our opinion becomes a waste of conversation or does it allow all parties to feel fear?

Forgiveness
I had been told many years ago that I was the angriest person they had ever met. Years prior to that I was the most comical and entertaining person as most of my friends would say. I encountered certain experiences which transformed me from a well contained and polite individual to a woman enraged and deeply wounded. At that time, I did not believe innocence could be recovered. I also believed my anger would keep me safe. I was wrong on both counts. I am now free of the kindling which once raged where my blood and spirit pulse together. I feel everything, and think all feelings are healthy and positive in their own time. When I say I am free I mean I am free of deep, long lasting resentment.
