Finding Peace

“When I release what I hold onto, I find peace.” Sometimes we hold on so tightly to something that we ache inside. We think that we need this (insert whatever or whoever it is) and that life won’t be the same with out it/them. While that is true – that life won’t be the same,Continue reading “Finding Peace”

Embracing Limbo

I really liked this photo of the lizard because even though he’s supposed to be able to camouflage himself and turn the colors of the limb he’s on, he’s his own color. Can you relate to being in between two worlds and not fitting in? The old you doesn’t fit anymore. The new you hasn’tContinue reading “Embracing Limbo”

Let’s Have a Heart to Heart Chat

The willingness for people to open up and to share their stories is always inspiring to me. I find that sharing my story helps people, so I do it in order to help someone else, not to brag on what I’ve survived or to gain pity for what I’ve endured. I hope that in readingContinue reading “Let’s Have a Heart to Heart Chat”

Women Vs. Girls

The mentality difference is real between girls and women. It’s not just an age thing either. It’s the difference between fixing her crown quietly or loudly and embarrassingly stage whispering that her slip is showing. Do you know what I mean? Can you guess who I am in these scenarios? I’m the crown fixer. IContinue reading “Women Vs. Girls”

World Teacher’s Day

I loved being a Spanish teacher. I taught in the same school I attended alongside my first teacher of Spanish. In the teacher’s room, there were many of my former childhood teachers there who took me under their wings to help me in my teaching journey. So, not only did they teach me as aContinue reading “World Teacher’s Day”

Give Grace to the Process

What’s it like to find yourself in a new life? I’ve endured many stages of ‘this is my new normal’ with all of the life experiences I’ve had. Some of them were good, while others were devastatingly difficult. But with each one, I learned more about life, relationships and myself. With each one, I grewContinue reading “Give Grace to the Process”

Come Sit With Me By The Creek

I think lately we’ve all been going through a lot. With six planets in retrograde, the start of the school year, the cooling temps in weather (or if you’re down under, the warming of temps!), Fall is typically a transitional time. Add into the mix is the Autumnal Solstice and sometimes getting through the dayContinue reading “Come Sit With Me By The Creek”

Don’t Fear Change

Change has a bad reputation, doesn’t it? Whenever someone says, ‘things have to change’ many people cringe and almost recoil from the thought because they’ve become so enmeshed in what is right now that they can’t even imagine how change might disrupt their lives. Don’t mistake me, change can be disruptive and scary as hell.Continue reading “Don’t Fear Change”

I Am Willing To Change

Sometimes I wonder, why in the world I signed up for this life school. But here I am and here you are! Life school is filled with millions of daily choices that we make all the time. Often we make choices we aren’t even aware we’re making because they’ve become such a routine in ourContinue reading “I Am Willing To Change”

Lesson Learned

I’ve learned that even if you react, it won’t change a thing. It won’t make people hear you, it won’t magically change their minds. Sometimes it’s better to let things be, let people go, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from. I’ve learned that lifeContinue reading “Lesson Learned”
