When You Just Do It

For about a year I have talked about wanting to go to one specific place. For what reason? I have no idea but that, in itself, makes me too curious not to go. I have let all the "shoulds" and "yea, but" and "well.." get to me and stop me from going. "Well it's gonna …

When you try to make things happen but you know it's not right,Sometimes you have to take a step back and reenter the fight.The fight against time; see your patience as wealth,A fight worth having, one that serves your most inner self.It won't always be easy and it won't always come when you are ready,But …

When the Ebbs Flow

5 years in and it still happens.Yup our moods can change. They ebb and flow and the ebbs flow and will always ebb again.I have accepted that my mood can dip without notice, and I just have to be patient. Part of the nature of mental health is that it happens. You wake up one …

Timing

Clocks have two hands that we use to tell time,In a traditional sense they tell us the numbers on a circle that somehow relate to the world.These hands tell us when mealtime is, when we should wake up and when we should sleep; they give us guidance and a framework to live life by.However, the …

Puzzles of Life

Share Your Story

First opportunity to share my story and pay it forward. When you experience heartache and don’t know why until it’s too late, that can have a profound effect on your life. Relationship themed OCD plagued me when I fell in love and when it was too late. I had already pushed the one person away …

Stillness

Stop. Freeze. Heart races, time stops, head spins, and the desire to run, scream, move, itches beneath the skin. The desire to fix, vent, change, make sudden decisions, boils into an uncomfortable sensation within the body. Where do you turn? What do you do with these feelings you have? Where are they coming from and …

“Signs” in the Universe Teach Gratitude

The other night I lay wide awake at midnight, well past my bedtime, stuck in a spiral of thoughts about the past. I wondered: If your heart hurts, do you swallow the pain and say "it will be ok?" or do you express yourself? Do you put a bandaid on the wound and pray it …
