Do you ever find yourself saying something like: do whatever you want, it’s not my life? Have you ever then contemplated how passive aggressive and bullshitty shit that sentiment is? I think you know by now that I’m pretty good with looping back to my theme for the week, so have no fear, but I… Continue reading It’s Your Life.

I am grumpy.
Ready for my truth today? I am really fucking tired. I know, cue all the memes about adults always being tired. And yet, I am. I am trying to figure out how to institute some sort of balance but right now, I am decidedly out of balance. There is no question. There are so many… Continue reading I am grumpy.
Words, words, words.
Most of us don’t care to dig in because honestly, it doesn’t feel great. It just doesn’t. It is rare that I’ve engaged in self exploration and found myself at the end like, oh wow, that was amazing. I mean sure, I’m glad that I’ve done it but that satisfaction piece comes later when I… Continue reading Words, words, words.
One Step Forward, Sixty Steps Away.
I was talking to a friend the other day and told him that I feel disconnected from everything. Strangely disconnected. Strangely? Yes. To clarify, it’s a different kind of disconnection that I’ve felt recently based on this shit show world we’ve landed in. The disconnection that I've experienced as a result of the pandemic was… Continue reading One Step Forward, Sixty Steps Away.
May the force be with you.
We wrapped up yesterday with me asking if you could trust in the love of another person, even in the face of questions. I’ve learned that I can. I falter sometimes, that’s my truth. I do. I hesitate. I question. But then, I breathe. I recognize that it’s not always about me (self-absorption is definitely… Continue reading May the force be with you.
Leap of Faith.
I think most of us have difficulty accepting love. Even those of us who claim to accept love freely and openly struggle with the concept at some point or another. I don’t know if this is due to the human condition and its innate sort of fragility, or because most of us encounter conditional love… Continue reading Leap of Faith.
Unpack the damn suitcase…
I finished up yesterday by suggesting that a relationship could not be ruined by a stressful situation. Maybe that put some of you off. I can already see or hear the explanation that you might offer, or the example. You might tell me that statistically there are stressors that notoriously ruin relationships. For example, when… Continue reading Unpack the damn suitcase…
Time to Pay the Piper.
Okay. We wrapped up a Monday with me telling you that you deserve what you have, or what you deserve. Did that feel enraging? Did that feel like a circular reference? If you said yes to one or both, I get it. I do. I feel that so hard. It’s why I sent you a… Continue reading Time to Pay the Piper.
Challenge Accepted.
Someone recently offered me a challenge. Not just someone. A mentor. A guide. She asked me to participate in an experiment. She asked me to shift my focus to how much I am valued and appreciated by friends, family, strangers, and even INCLUDE work (gasp). She asked me to start each day focused on ‘catching’… Continue reading Challenge Accepted.
What’s your plan dude?
My mom asked me today what I was planning to do to ensure that a particular situation didn’t kill me. She asked it just like that. What’s your plan dude? I told her that I was working on it and that I already felt like I was handling things better. She half-heartedly shook her head… Continue reading What’s your plan dude?
