A Warm Goodbye
Tomorrow I’ll move all my things and likely never see the man I once thought was my soul mate again. My heart hurts like someone drove an icicle through it that can never melt. This too will pass. The truth is, looking at it all, there wasn’t a single moment from the one we met…

Why Do We Give Away Our Power?
How many times in the world of self-help or therapy have you heard “doing that gives away your power”? The phrase came to mind again this morning, and it got me wondering, why on earth do we do that? Why do I do that? Over and over and over again I’ve done it with a…

Why do we love butterflies more than moths?
How often have you seen the butterfly be the graphical representation of change? Personally, about 100 times too many.

What a mess we can make
We’re not usually TRYING to make a mess, we’re just doing our thing. Living, working, thriving, and enjoying our morning coffee. Then you look around, and just think “Oh boy, did I make a mess of this”. I think that’s alright in the end, we’re kind of meant to make a mess of things. The…

May you never be broken again
