Expressing Emotion Is A Strength Not A Character Flaw

Before walking this path the only emotion I ever expressed was anger. Anything else I stuffed down, covered up or numbed out. And usually that anger was really a smokescreen for getting caught doing something I shouldn’t have been doing, for being caught in a lie or not getting my own way. Of course, there […]

Shapeshifter

When I was very ill, it was obvious what needed to change in my life for me to get better, and once I removed that from my life my disease started to reach for other things that I could use to try to fill the void I felt inside, to soothe me or to try […]

Growing Through Something Difficult

I’m all about changing the language I use every day to reflect a positive life and positive communication with myself. For most of my life, my default place was a negative space, I would tell people I was cursed and that’s why things were always going wrong in my life, or things were so dark. […]
