Sweet Beautiful Soul
Sweet, beautiful soul, I know you are weary. I know your mind could have never comprehended the pain, sadness, frustration, and grief you would come to know. The day began like any other day, didn’t it my dear? You woke up struggling to get out of bed, or you jumped up from the bed withContinue reading “Sweet Beautiful Soul”
Why God Why?
As I write this evening I am listening to the song The Broken Beautiful by Elle Holcomb. “You can make the broken beautiful, because your love will never change, and there’s healing in your name, your love makes broken things beautiful. “ Hearing this song for the first time has brought many thoughts to myContinue reading “Why God Why?”

Path to loving you

Looking quickly in the morning to get ready, but never truly looking at myself. I do not know if ever realized howContinue reading “Yet the fire is comfortable…”
Rising Up in Grace
I recently heard a quote by Dr. Edith Eger “If you have something to prove you’re still a prisoner”. That quote made me stop in my tracks as I listened to her speak with Brene Brown and WOW! My previous post discussed words. The words we hear, the words we speak and the words weContinue reading “Rising Up in Grace”
Words
As a child I remember hearing the phrase “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” As an adult I have learned that phrase is complete and utter bullshit. Our words contain so much power. Through many years of therapy, I have often been told, the physical pain is notContinue reading “Words”
Embracing the Smoke
“Eventually, the time comes when you mourn the comfort you felt in the chaos of the fire. You embrace the smoke and you rise up into your purpose.” JessicaLynn This post is slightly different. I had intended to write everything out into an official post, but I have struggled since the day I recorded thisContinue reading “Embracing the Smoke”
