It’s a universal issue. A complication that can make or break even the very best of relationships. The smallest amount of disregard can cause an avalanche of assumption. Intentions become irrelevant in the aftermath. I’ve always been a voice of reason to friends around me. A confidant that cares. My gift of empathy gives me depth that my experience cannot […]
The Communication
It’s a universal issue. A complication that can make or break even the very best of relationships. The smallest amount of disregard can cause an avalanche of assumption. Intentions become irrelevant in the aftermath. I’ve always been a voice of reason to friends around me. A confidant that cares. My gift of empathy gives me depth that my experience cannot […]
The Silence
There is something in the silence. The stillness, where your thoughts roam free. You close your eyes and hope to see…the value that it holds. The static, it fills up the space. Clocks lose time…their power erased. The busy world fades from its place…it ceases now to be. There’s something in the gravity. The pulling of what’s meant to be. […]

We have established patterns and comfort zones. We see things from a lens of experience….an understanding only of what we have viewed…lessons we have learned…pain we have suffered…or love we have […]
The Unexpected
You are never really prepared for the unexpected. It comes like a storm on a sunny day. It blindsides you and makes you vulnerable.

I’ve learned a lot lately about the unexpected..how it can challenge your mental state, question your worth, […]
The Transformation
What is true transformation? Essentially, transformation is the shedding of the old and the taking on of a new form. The dictionary defines it as “a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance.” For those of you who know me, you will understand how close to my heart this subject lies. In the struggles and hardships that managed to […]
Letting Go
I thought I would take a break while many of you are brainstorming to say a few personal things about my journey. There are many who know only one or two sides of me. Those who really know me are few and far between. People have many layers and are careful which ones they expose. They guard themselves closely and […]
