Eyes locked Hands shook We all met Unsure. Unsure has a lot to teach us about who we aren't and what we don't want He has a strong grip. But you're here and very brave. The first step of the Hero's Journey. THE PASTWe are not our stories We are the ones telling it Those …
An intentional contrast to the bright modern décor of the rest of the house, an iron caged Edison light casts an amber hue on the dark navy walls but provides very little guidance as you step down through the doorway and begin your descent. You walk carefully, the steps are old and uneven. Framed photographs …
An earlier post described an experience of snooping where I discovered a journal entry describing me as Jolie Laide. I was fifteen. As an empath, I don't worry about what other people are thinking as much as I absorb so I was able to process what I was feeling. Those few seconds were a …
I tried to run away today. My daughter sat on my bed and watched me pack. She told me it was probably a good idea for me to leave since I seemed so upset. This sort of hurt my feelings, but then she added, “This is how I felt last night, I understand” and I …
I have two 'I wouldn't normally confess to loving these women' women. Kendra Wilkinson has always had my respect and more recently, I've realized Chrissy Teigan is pretty f%^&ing cool.
