There is a difference between a person who hurts you by making a mistake, and a person who hurts you by continuing a pattern. Mistakes can be forgiven. Patterns should be broken.

Returning to myself ..

It's been a long week, but I'm learning how to feel relaxed and safe in my own body.

One of life’s quiet truths is that not everyone possesses the capacity to meet us where we are. Accepting this, though painful, brings more peace than the endless suffering of trying to make them change.

The loss of self is a gradual process in an emotionally abusive relationship. It took years to figure out what was going on, and by then I was so entangled in the mess that it felt like I was the problem.

When women push their feelings down and cast their needs aside, their health suffers.
Yet, we do it all the time..

It's the end of my summer vacay, but not the end of summer. We'll still have some more beautiful days like this before winter takes over.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. #Rumi

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's Fascism 101.

There can be no rebirth without a dark night of the soul, a total annihilation of all that you believed in and thought that you were.

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act..

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response..

Falls the shadow

Love does not require that we abandon ourselves.
It does not ask us to prove our worth through (obedience) and self-sacrifice.
And the moment we stop trying to pull someone forward is the moment we free ourselves to walk towards the love we truly deserve.

Feelings aren't right or wrong, they just are, and we can accept all feelings
no matter what they are...
If you can take that in,
it will free you up.

I am spending a week camping in Canada along Lake Huron and I am not going to look at the news at all. Time to decompress.

So tired
Living like I'm a refugee at home
So tired
Every day, trying to make it on my own

Let their journey follow its own path; your power lies in how you steady your ground.

Don't waste your energy trying to convince others to change. Decide what you want in your life & accept nothing else.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Only when we're brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

Silence can create a space for reflection and deep thought, but it also can be used to intimidate, control, and instill fear in others.

Standing alone authentically is less lonely than being surrounded by people who don’t truly see you.
