Break the chains…

It has been pretty interesting trying to start this blogpost… My thoughts are all over the place and there are so many things that I want to discuss, but I can’t seem to find a specific train of thought to ride today… But I will say that it is pretty interesting the way that “hurt people” operate at times because it almost seems like they find some sort of joy in inflicting emotional pain and trauma on the next person… … Continue reading “Break the chains…”

What a time to be alive… Part 2

It’s interesting to me how many wounded individuals are out here pretending like they are ok while simultaneously causing mental and/ or emotional damage to the next man or woman because they refuse to do the work that is necessary to address and heal from their triggers… And I know from firsthand experience how hard and painful it can be to dive into past pain and trauma… But isn’t it worth the effort to be able to walk around free … Continue reading “What a time to be alive… Part 2”

In the waiting… Part 2

Patience has never been a strength of mine… Ok I take that back…  Patience is an area that I have been forced to be strengthened in, but waiting is my LEAST favorite thing to do… And it’s so frustrating when I have done everything within my power to accomplish a goal and still have to wait on someone or something else to make it happen… Especially when there’s always this thought in the back of my mind that the other … Continue reading “In the waiting… Part 2”

Be good to yourself today…

Last week was the busiest week that I have had in a while… And while everything that I gave my attention to fell under the category of “things that I enjoy doing”… this morning I realized that I needed to turn off the alarm and go back to sleep  because my body and mind needed a little bit more time to recharge… It’s so important to be good to yourself and listen to what your body is telling you that … Continue reading “Be good to yourself today…”

I hope this was helpful…

There are so many things that I could write about and once again I’m finding it hard to decide on one train of thought to ride this week.. So here is a list of a few random pieces of advice related to events that have occurred in the past week or so… 1- Know thyself, be secure in who you are, and be vocal about shutting things down when someone tries to give you a label that does not line … Continue reading “I hope this was helpful…”

In the waiting…

I’ve never really been a fan of processes… or journeys… or whatever word you want to use to describe the, oftentimes, lengthy period of time that one has to endure to get from here to there… (wherever there may be…) And it’s not the hard work, discipline, or determination needed that I have an issue with… Because honestly, I get a sense of pride when I push myself beyond what I initially thought I could and accomplish things I didn’t … Continue reading “In the waiting…”

So what’s my future…?

So I guess this is my first blogpost of 2021… That seems like such a weird statement to type… And it’s kind of crazy how I suddenly feel this odd amount of pressure to set the tone for the new year with this post and write something super positive and uplifting, now that all of the hell we endured throughout 2020 has ended forever… Yay!! *cue the confetti and fireworks and other celebratory devices* Sorry to disappoint you if that’s … Continue reading “So what’s my future…?”
