I mean that AND I'm grateful at the same time.

I need to take a step back and take this soap box opportunity to state that I am so sick and tired of the "infighting" between the monetized spiritual healing community and true healers.

There's this belief going around that you aren't an empath if your gifts arrive by course of trauma. That stance ( Read more... )

Murphy (that will be the pseudonym)  has been deep in my brain lately. Not in a "why'd we (you) fuck this up?" kind of way but in a, "I want so badly to reach out, to be close, to swim in your thoughts" kind of way but I can't because there's no point. Maybe it's too dramatic to say there's no point but there's too much under the surface for us and ( Read more... )

This I Believe : NPR launched in 1951 as a series of radio broadcasts that spotlighted the personal beliefs of people in every imaginable life situation. To this day, you can go to any browser and type in "This I Believe" and read (or listen) to thousands of submitted stories over the last 70 years. *I should note that new essays aren't being taken ( Read more... )

I love my intuition for a plethora of reasons. It serves as a validation between spirit, body, and mind. It acts as a comforting guide when my anxiety lies to me. It's a beautiful window into the universe. It is the best gift a person could ask for.

I've come to realize that I would be a horrible ( Read more... )

Truth

Integrity

Courageous Authenticity

Those are my 3 core values. We can debate over the belief of truth being subjective another time, but that's neither here nor there.  About a year and a half ago (maybe 2 years at this point who knows) some really gross shit went down in my personal/professional life. Truth, integrity, and authenticity ( Read more... )

I started keeping a physical journal back in November 2019. Not because I wanted to, or I found value in it. I started keeping a physical journal because it was an assignment for a program I participated in. The first dozen or so pages were covered in "I hate forced journaling" "Have I mentioned how much I hate forced journaling?" "Fuck this ( Read more... )

I've noticed a few themes in my life over the last few days of a virtual walk down memory lane of this journal. Social isolation has given me a lot of time to think which is generally a catastropic occurance for me. I've noticed a lot of somatic responses in my body in response to what I've read and how it makes me feel. It's also been incredibly ( Read more... )

I just got used to people being in my physical space again. I started to enjoy hugs from the people I've started to care about. I think that's why my dream went the way it did the other night ( Read more... )

Does 33 count as middle aged? I guess depending on the Era in which you are talking about, it could theoretically be classified as middle aged. . . . or ancient ( Read more... )
