Allowing myself to just feel it…

I hate waiting.. I actually think I’ve already written one or two blogs describing how much I hate waiting… But even more than that… I hate when I’m waiting for something… hoping that it will happen… and then things don’t work out the way that I had anticipated… I always describe this moment as the moment that hope and disappointment collide… Sigh… “when hope and disappointment collide… you’re often left standing in the shards of their collision…” It’s such a … Continue reading “Allowing myself to just feel it…”

I’m glad that’s over…

I’ve never been more happy for a month to be over… April was wild… It was a hella busy month… it feels like I took a lot of L’s… and I started having these weird muscle spasms and/ or stiffness in my neck and upper back… Don’t get me wrong though… there were good things that happened as well… but I can honestly say that the bad outweighed the good… However… None of the previously mentioned things can remotely come … Continue reading “I’m glad that’s over…”

These can’t be my only options…

It’s always kind of funny when I sit down to type out a post… when I don’t really want to dive into the topic that’s weighing on my heart and mind… I guess ironic would be the more appropriate word since I’m not exactly laughing… but it’s ironic because I pride myself on being transparent… I mean I share my struggles so that others don’t feel alone in theirs… sometimes I wish I wasn’t this way because it forces me … Continue reading “These can’t be my only options…”

The journey from here to there…

I remember hearing this teaching where the instructor was explaining the process that a seed goes through to become a plant… The first thing that the gardener does is prepare the dirt and dig a hole… Then they put the seed in the hole… After they’ve placed the seed in the hole… they cover the seed with dirt so that it’s buried… the seed is also alone and isolated while it’s buried… After that the gardener waters the seed as … Continue reading “The journey from here to there…”
