Learning to Feel: An Intro
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? I wanted discomfort, opportunities for growth. You challenged me like no other until I broke. I’m still so fragile, a vulnerable fledgling. Never tested my wings, please don’t push me out the nest yet… I have so many doubts. To trust is too risky. No one feels…

Snippets:#1
I’ve been so busy no time to write. So here’s some snippets of thought that arise. My body feels broken, nerves jangled and frayed. Existentially in crisis, emotionally disarrayed.

Time travel back To each painful moment. To stop more harm, Freeze everyone present. Stand fearlessly beside Little ‘you’ that is hurting. Attune, feel resonance, In the…

Happy New Year!
The balls in my court But what to do with it? This silence weighs heavy But I what can I say? Take back your power! Speak up for yourself! Claim your voice, be heard! Fear drives action away. Avoiding, ignoring. May time bring healing? Too afraid of saying the wrong, naïve thing. Anxiety worsening. Sadness…

Choices
Wake up! Do you hear the alarm? A bell ringing, Marking time. Listen! Are you deaf to your words? Pearls of wisdom. Honest answers. Be aware! Are you scared to change? Blindly repeating, Ignoring damage. Open your eyes! Embrace your soul’s journey. Never too late. The choice is yours. 🌻

Awaken
Be Present. In the spaciousness. In betweenSomewhere and nowhere. Being …no one, no body. In between losing my mind and finding my soul. 🌻
