https://www.instagram.com/tv/COIXqPPH5Lj/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet Emotional exposure is terrifying. I can't be the only one that does everything in my power to attempt to control it? To refine, diminish, and play small in order to avoid potential pain In order to regulate vulnerability? Something wonderful comes into my life and I shrug my shoulders at it in mock 'mehness',… Continue reading Emotional Exposure

I Used to Leap
Photo by Sammy Chaffin on Unsplash There used to be a time when we called for someone to catch us with no fear or trepidation. A time when we were filled with wild abandon. We trusted completely in the fact that the one we called to would catch us. We had no doubts. Filled with… Continue reading I Used to Leap
The Lesson
True meaningful connection, I believe - friend - can only happen when people are able to show up as authentic versions of themselves, ready to let go of any sort of need of other to fulfill or satisfy any inner shortcoming or longing.

There is a wonderful feeling in calling people and things into your life which encourage you to bloom. But, what happens when you feel yourself starting to wither and the signs arrive telling you that it's time to let something go?

To be a Colossus
Friend, our existence is full of rules - all the shoulds - that never ending list of things that we’re supposed to do, or be, or have. Gradually it begins to make us feel inadequate and lost. As though we’re wading into a pool teaming with razor sharp claws hell-bent on ripping us apart, pulling off all the hopes and dreams, the things seen as insubstantial, thus leaving us feeling small.
