A Woman In PURSUIT of herself: A poem
This is a story about speaking aloud and opening, unfolding, creating.
What Deciding to Change your life really means…
Anaïs Nin: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
The Truest, Most Beautiful world…
Describe the truest, most beautiful world you can imagine.
A few months ago, I made an initial attempt to journal this and what came out turned into something slightly different than what I expected.
being a mom is hard
Being a Mom is HARD.
It’s the place where I struggle the most.
And sometimes it’s like I am watching myself from the outside telling my 6 year old daughter,
“Hurry up and get dressed!”
“Hurry up and put your shoes on!”
“Come on ! We don’t have all day!”
“Let’s go! Brush your teeth already!”
“Hurry up and learn xyz!”
the wonder of you
Are you living your most amazing life right now?
Is it everything that you ever could have wished for?
Or do you hit snooze and wait for the right opportunity to show up; to take the action that you’ve been yearning for?
why i choose to embrace failure…
“Why can’t I get this?! Why is this so difficult?! What’s wrong with me?”
Does this sound like something you do as well?
On some level – we all struggle with failure. It doesn’t feel great to mess up, to stumble, to fall, and then to have to get back up and try again.
what is this teaching me?
I saw a post online recently that said this: “Instead of asking yourself, ‘Why is this happening to me?’, ask yourself, ‘What is this teaching me?’”
So, for the past few weeks I’ve been asking myself this question.
When I’m angry or annoyed by a person or situation, I ask myself – what can I appreciate about this? And I have to say – what a difference this has made on me, and my own personal growth!
