The most important person that I have had to forgive is myself. Self-forgiveness has been at the cornerstone of my self work. So much baggage I was holding on to was guilt about how I handled certain things, decision that I made, and so on. It took some time to really and truly forgive myself… Continue reading 30 by 31: Self-Forgiveness

30 by 31: Breathe
I used to have a tendency to hold my breath and hold on to tension, especially in my shoulders and neck. I still have those moments, but I am much quicker to stretch and breathe. Why? Because whatever I am stressing out about will not get solved with anxious energy. I always have a clear… Continue reading 30 by 31: Breathe
30 by 31: Accept the Help
Last July, I moved to Texas with my husband. Before I left I had a final session with my therapist whom I had been seeing for the past 5 months. It took a lot to admit that I needed help navigating my work, relocation, and emotional issues I was having. It required me to get… Continue reading 30 by 31: Accept the Help
30 by 31: Decisions and Opinions
Honestly, the opinions of others don't matter in the grand scheme of action. I get to do exactly what I want even if it flies in direct opposition to what people think I "should be doing." Is it uncomfortable? Umm, yes times a million. But that discomfort doesn't make me powerless. I take all of… Continue reading 30 by 31: Decisions and Opinions
30 by 31: Pause
I am a pretty ambitious person. I set my eyes on something and run like hell to get it. Many times, though, I have found myself swimming in stress and confusion. Moving so fast that I don't know what my next step should be. Moving so quickly that I lose sight of what I really… Continue reading 30 by 31: Pause
30 by 31: Setting Goals and Letting Go
This first lesson is one I daily learn: Remembering to set intentional goals while surrendering to life's flow. I have lofty ambitions, dreams, visions. I like to set things in motion and take action quickly. Sometimes, though, those visions were too narrow. Too confining. The goals and processes to make it happen were so specific that it… Continue reading 30 by 31: Setting Goals and Letting Go
30 Before 31: An Introduction
In about one month, I will be turning 31. It has been quite the transition into my thirties, a decade that I will totally define for myself as an adult. The first twenty years of my life were spent being raised by my parents. Then, in my twenties, I wanted to test out my wings and… Continue reading 30 Before 31: An Introduction
Your Dreams Are Resilient
Your dream are resilient. You can traverse obstacles, detours, and upsets, but they stand firm. You were born to make it happen. No wonder our dreams hover and circle constantly calling us. Go on, answer the loving call. Even if you don't answer right away, they will gently call anyway. I have noticed this time… Continue reading Your Dreams Are Resilient
The Art of Shifting- Part 2
A few months ago, I wrote about closing the doors on this site. I took a few months off from blogging and did some exploring. I explored other work that I wanted to do. Took some time to do nothing. Took some time to do some organizing around my house. Most of all I took… Continue reading The Art of Shifting- Part 2
A Love Letter on Rising
Dear Friend, It's time. It's been time. You were put on this earth to expand, not hold yourself back. You know those things that you really, really, really want to do? It's time to do them. In whatever capacity you can. In whatever way you can. It's time to make it happen. Your soul expressed… Continue reading A Love Letter on Rising
