Nourish your soul & flourish your life! Create change, with meaningful connections beginning with you

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Parenting is hard enough, but if we have a suspected narcissist as a co-parent our kids are at risk of adopting unhelpful skills that set them up for lifelong dissatisfaction and difficulty in relationships.

There is an ebb and flow to everything. Just like us, relationships are not stagnant or fixed. We need to be able to grow together and trust each other with some pretty big life stuff. If we normalize feeling off in relationchips or put up with unmet needs, we unfortunately may also unwittingly normalize this kind of energy in other areas of our life.
