Your miracle. It’s coming. Even when you don’t see it or a hint of its light. It’s on its way. And there isn’t much you have to do to make sure it finds its way to you. That’s part of the miracle, like it knows. It’s hard to remember, when things seem shitty or off-course [...]

Yes, that is the truth. I have a really nice smile. Beautiful, in fact. People I don’t know tell me this fairly regularly. In fact, I am told this in the majority of instances in which I am connecting with someone face-to-face, and smiling. I don’t do a ton of each, and I would imagine [...]

You may not have all the answers. You may have no answers. Many questions, though. But no answers. You may not know what you thought should have been known by now. You may look around you and feel like everyone else knows. (They so don’t.) You may wonder when it will be your turn to [...]

I Remember

in Healing, Life Lessons

I remember the feeling of walking on eggshells.  I remember wondering what I did wrong or when I would next do something wrong. I remember being scared that this would be my life forever. I remember feeling constantly on edge. I remember being disrespected. I remember being yelled at. Sneered at. Verbally attacked. I remember [...]

Are you happy? Do you think about what happy means for you? About whether you are happy? If not, do you think about what needs to change for you to feel happy? If yes, is that your way? Are you a happy person? I wonder what happy means. Whether there is a threshold – above [...]
