I read words yesterday that felt just right: soft & spacious

This is how I want my life to feel and what I’m aiming to create.

Simple
Soft
Spacious

Shedding.
Releasing.
Letting go.

Simplifying.
Returning.
Aligning.

Finding the joy in everyday moments.
Breathing it all in.

The more I try to push myself forward, into motivation and productivity, and out of grief and rest, the more frustrated and disappointed I am, and in turn, the deeper I sink into darkness.

When I honor my cycles, my seasons, my body, my heart, my soul, the more clearly I see the sun beginning to shine and in turn, I bloom 🌼

My intention moving forward:
Heal my heart 🩷

Simple, but not easy,
to allow everything that comes,
and be with it in all its rawness.

To accept and honor what is.
To move forward with love and grace.
To trust the unfolding.

I release pressure.
I invite presence.
I wrap myself in love
and breathe.

Maybe being courageous
isn't about one grand act or big moment...
Maybe being brave doesn't come loudly.
Maybe it's quiet sometimes.
Softer. Gentler. A little bit slower.
Maybe courage is in the little choices
you make each day.
Taking one small step out of
your comfort zone.
Being just a little more you and
letting your true self be seen and heard.
Giving today all you have and really
trying to be the best version of yourself.
Showing up no matter how hard.
Trusting your intuition and heart.
Maybe courage isn't reserved
for just the big moments--
but for all of the little moment
in between too.

I don’t want my feed to just be a curated, pretty, aesthetic pattern of matching pictures.

I don’t want my words to only be fluffy and dripping with honey.

I don’t want to pretend my life is always put together and rosy.

I want real life.
I want real talk.
I want what’s under the surface and behind the scenes.

Because I believe being real, open, honest, and raw, is how we rid the shame.

We have enough fake, posed, and put together. We’ve been hiding behind filters and pasted on smiles for long enough. What if we bravely took a chance on vulnerability without the emotional hangover after? What if we connected over the things that we’ve been sitting alone in shame with? What if we allowed the walls around our hearts to slowly crumble?

What if…

Water streams down the glass,
against the window pane,
the pitter patter a melody,
Hallelujah for the rain!

We’ve been praying, hoping, and dreaming,
for days, months, and years,
for rain to settle in like this,
to end the drought, and our fears.

Like little kids in a candy store,
we’re bouncing off the walls,
listening and watching,
as the rain pours and falls.

We give thanks to Mother Nature,
and to Father Sky,
We thank the weather forecaster,
for being right this time! 🌧️ 💚

Grief visited today,
but that was nothing new,
it often comes along
when I pause and think of you.

You visited today
perched up in a tree,
knowing how much I missed you,
you gave this gift to me.

You sat and sang awhile,
making sure I knew
that you’d come to visit,
had no question it was you.

It was beautiful and perfect
to be with you side by side,
a wish that I’ve been wishing
since the day you died 🤍

If we numb, push away, and run each time life feels hard, uncomfortable, or painful, we miss the lessons and growth.

If we want to evolve, we need to stay.

Amidst the storm, we need to breathe into the eye, and rest where the calm lies.
