I've needed time away. I have been all over the place and not felt like I could share my authentic self. My writing took a pause. I am not sure where I am currently landing, but today, I felt like writing once more.

This year has not been perfect so far, but it is still mine. My steps forward carry the memories. ALL of them. And I have half a year to go still.

Everyone is coming and going. An airport shows us so clearly everyone's different paths.

If I stopped feeling it deeply, is that numbness or is that healing?

What events in life help you see so clearly what you are in fact, made of?

It hurts today. I just want and need people to be gentle with my heart.

I challenge you - make a list of what you are holding onto. Take the time for yourself to remember the good.

I will dance in the sunshine again. For I am the sun. I will be ok.

We danced in the sun together for as long as we could. I will always have that.

Sometimes its about looking backwards, to see how far you have come.

My family. My Friends. Near and far people have supported me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hating him would make this easier for me. But I don't.

Grief can take you in a lot of different directions. But to be clear, there is a huge difference between thoughts and actions.

Writing to my future husband helped me growing up. Once you found him and it wasn't him...it doesn't matter anymore

My Sunlight gave me one last sunset before it disappeared. Now I am back in darkness.

I am scared to be happy. How can I release my fear and truly live.

Emma. My soul dog. I miss you. My heart is broken. I look for you everywhere.

When the rubber hits the road, when things get tough, when the unexpected happens, how much are you really healed?

Its time to say goodbye to 2024; a year that just sucked...
