This one quote from Louise Hay felt like a blanket around my heart when everything felt chaotic:
“In the infinity of my life, where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete.”
I broke it down into 4 simple affirmations:
🌸 I am exactly where I need to be.
🌸 I am whole.
🌸 I am safe in the now.
🌸 Life is unfolding perfectly for me.
It’s not about pretending everything’s okay.
It’s about coming back to your truth, your power, your peace.
💗 New blog post is up today—sharing the books that helped me shift my mindset and heal my heart.

I AM ENOUGH.

I cannot say I can fully believe this. I wish I could. I wish I was ‘enough’ to fully believe that I am enough.
But today, yes, I was enough.

I was enough for me. I gave enough of myself that I did not feel like I had let myself or a friendship down.
And I was enough for my friend.
I listened to her and shared in her stories, in her sorrows and her joys.
I gave her enough of myself that she did not leave feeling emotionally shortchanged by our meeting.

I was enough.

This is what the voice was telling me as I tried to convince myself that I was not good enough or that I could not give enough of myself to satisfy our relationship.

I am now filled with a sense of wonder and awe at our own underlying knowledge that we are enough. I do not think it is just in me, I think it sits somewhere deeply rooted in each of us.

It is not a knowledge that I can consciously speak or even believe. It is a knowledge that is so lost within the dark pit of my being that even as I write it I do not believe the words that shine onto the page.

But this morning, when I was on the verge of sinking into a day of despair, my body, my mind, my soul, spoke to me — answering a question that I did not even know I was asking.
Telling me that whatever I had to give to my friend, to our afternoon, to our friendship, was enough.
Not too much, not too little.
It was enough. I was enough.

I am enough.

I am enough.

In the Name Of Peace..
💚🩵💜💛
We are at a breaking point throughout the collective. It is a breaking down of old structures, outdated thinking, and obsolete pattering. Equally so, it gives rise to a breaking open of a higher consciousness crying out to be heard by a world that must now receive its wisdom, frequency, and emergent shift of perspective.

No matter the lens of perspective you view this moment through, may we come together as custodians of the world and as a planet of humanitarians ensuring our world is a safe, sovereign space for all sentient beings to inhabit. We don’t need to answer all questions at once, find ways to satisfy the demand of opposing views, or cower to the intensity of humankind’s hunger for control.

At this moment in history, may we come together in support of peace for all families and for every soul—past, present, or future. May we apply everything we have learned up to this point with an open heart instead of bracing for the impact of outside aggression.

As channeled from our beloved Mother Earth, this planet will no longer be a labyrinth of political tension and demands being returned to its original form as a sacred kingdom of tolerance and respect. We are being asked to unite heart to heart and soul to soul in the truth our Earth expresses to be restored as a home and safe haven for all. 🙏🙏🙏
