What I share is just a part, if any, of your story

In all things, no matter who from, my invitation is always to embrace what resonates and release what doesn't. Even if that means the tone isn't for you. What's yours will always find you. ❤️

Boundaries. Bullying, Parenting and Society's Discomfort with Victims.

Boundaries. Bullying, Parenting and Society's Discomfort with Victims.

I'm not usually vulnerable about things like this, but if this supports, validates, affirms anyone else who's taking a stand against bullies to teach their little ones to stand up for themselves, by example, I'm happy to have shared. ❤️ Because what I Have noticed is that my daughter and I are being shunned due to this particular bully's gossip, because "we're making it awkward" by taking a stand and cutting them off. Interesting, that the bullying and gossip isn't awkward; just the well-boundaried response 🧐

Why Self First is so important

Why Self First is so important

"SELF. The healed, whole Self. Discovered, loved, nurtured, knows compassion because it experienced it first within. It is This Self who can Truly Love others. Please don't be shamed out of putting Self First."

Self-acceptance. No need to normalize everything.

Human rights, individual sovereignty, freedom, diversity in general on planet earth, yes, normalize. These are things I had believed were already the norm, until 2020.

An invitation to explore the paradox, not the contradiction, of the potent Self and that we are all one.

Self-care Overflows. It starts in the early years.

Self-care Overflows. It starts in the early years.

Caring for others is important, but we really miss where compassion for others is born. A sense of duty and responsibility will never fuel “caring for others” like genuine love can. I really believe that, in early years—and this gets overlooked so often—we learn this when we learn, first, what care feels like within ourselves.

Authenticity and the Victim. It matters

Authenticity and the Victim. It matters

Authenticity inevitably drops shame for peace in the midst of this aspect of life. True self-acceptance, as you are, self-love, self-trust, allows you to leave all the victim-shaming where it is, and expand your comfort zone to be okay with the messy phase of being the victim.  If it helps…
