Your feelings are not your enemies.

Anger is often hurt that was never heard.
Sadness can be love that was never received.
Fear may be the part of you still waiting to feel safe.

At Time2Talk, I help you listen to what your emotions are really trying to tell you, and gently guide you toward healing.

You don’t have to face them alone.

Small acts of kindness can have huge consequences...

He looked like just another quiet kid walking home from school—arms full of books, glasses sliding down his nose.
It was a Friday. Everyone else had plans: parties, games, sleepovers.
But he walked alone.
I almost ignored him—almost. But when a group of kids ran past, knocking his books to the ground and laughing as he fell, something in me shifted.
I helped him up. Handed him his glasses. Said something simple like, “Those guys are jerks.”
He smiled. Not a polite smile—a grateful one. The kind that sticks with you.
We talked. Turned out he lived near me. Turned out he was funny, smart, and really liked football. We hung out that weekend. Then the next. Then the next. We became best friends.
Years passed. We graduated.
And on that graduation day, he stood up in front of our class as valedictorian. Confident. Loved. A success.
Then he told a story I’ll never forget.
He said: “A few years ago, I planned to take my own life. That Friday, I was carrying everything home so my mom wouldn’t have to clean out my locker. I didn’t think anyone cared. But someone did. He picked up my books… and unknowingly saved my life.”
The crowd went still. I couldn’t move.
I never knew.
Sometimes, the smallest things we do are the biggest things in someone else’s world.
So be kind. Be present. You never know who needs saving.

Holding

Tears run freely
pink eyes smart,
damp tissues daubed
by cold, bony fingers.
Her feeble frame
slowly swallowed
by the sad, sagging sofa.

Heart, rent with sorrow and rage,
speaks of absent touch,
hollow laughter,
empty celebrations,
aching aloneness,
if onlys...

I sit with her in the sadness,
wanting to offer hope
but instead,
I simply hold the heavy space
so she can be herself
in that moment in time.

And I trust
that this too shall pass
and one day,
she will remember him
and smile.

Happy Mother’s Day - whatever this day means for you.

To those celebrating with love and gratitude, to those remembering a mother no longer here, to those who longed to be a mother but never got the chance, and to those who mother in ways beyond biology—through care, kindness, and support.

Motherhood takes many forms. Sending love to everyone navigating this day in their own way.
