Let us be gentle with the places that hurt inside of us...
Every part of us is sacred...
Every part of us needs loving...
Every aspect of who we are is asking to be nurtured and understood...
Especially the part of us that we don't like. The part of us that stays hidden somewhere in the back of our memory...

Let us Re-Enter our Story with reverence for our wounds...
Excavate What Matters and let the rest of the pieces lay there until you are ready to have the courage to let go of what hurts...
Because Freedom takes Courage...
It is better to wait than to unearth what you are not ready to see yet...
Trust your Guidance
Your Inner Archaeologist...
Everything has its timing

Meanwhile, let's just LOVE our wounds...
Love Heals what Hurts...

Hold Yourself in your Heart with Love and Compassion...
Until you are ready to excavate some more...
To bring light to your silence
To unburden
Heavy emotions

You will know when the time is right
Healing is a process
Not a destination..............................................

Walking helps us process emotions. Our eyes move naturally in bilateral motions as we walk— going from right to left. This turns on the logical and emotional parts of our brain and helps us make sense of what we feel.

So many people say “feel your feelings.” And it’s true we do need to feel them. But think a better way to say this is: “walk your feelings.” When we’re sitting still, parts of our brains are inactive. Our amygdala (threat center) can go haywire. Walking turns down the amygdala’s volume.

If you’re having a difficult conversation, walk with that person as you talk. This is especially important for people with complex trauma. You’ll both be more regulated and logical. You’ll have more access to the natural compassion that always lives within you.

Walk and then notice how much calmer and at peace you feel. Your body knows what to do. If you can, listen to the birds or the wind in the trees. For thousands of years these sounds grounded your ancestors— they’ll ground you too.

We spend so much time trying to stop the wrong behaviour, we forget to teach what the right thing actually looks like…

We punish the lie — but never talk about why honesty matters.
We send them to their room — but don’t help them repair what was broken.
We take things away — but don’t show them how to make things right.

Correction without connection doesn’t create growth. It creates shame.

If the goal is to raise capable, compassionate humans, then we need to shift the focus.

Less on what they did wrong.
More on why it mattered.
More on what they could’ve done differently.
More on how to take responsibility — without losing their dignity.

Because it’s not about letting them off the hook.
It’s about teaching them to step up.
That’s where real strength comes from.

And that’s how you raise someone who isn’t just well-behaved —
but well within themselves.
Well-raised.
And wildly human. ❤️
