As Parent’s we have this incredible privilege to raise little people better than we were raised. Based on what I experienced and have seen, I don’t think ‘adults’ see it that way… “ Beware that you don’t look down upon a single one of these little children. For I tell you that in heaven their angels […]

Why must we go on? If I were a doom scroller, which I am not, I would be living in a state of fear and panic right now. Does it look good out there? That depends on who you ask. I see the world differently than most of the people I know. Do I like […]

I Googled it. I had to. I wanted to know what the internet said about the Hero’s journey. Not only did it outline the concept of what the Hero’s journey is but it also pulled up results to help someone write a book following the Hero’s journey format. Made popular but Joseph Campbell; departure, initiation, […]

I have to get this one out… It’s been banging around in my head and my heart for a few days now. It isn’t that I didn’t know what it was— the disconnect between me and some humans, I just didn’t know how to put it into words properly. But I’m going to try today. […]

New Year new me? Nahhhh….. I’m not gonna pull that prank on myself. But I am going to set some goals for the year— which is something I do regularly anyhow. I like to ask myself those really challenging questions like; what do I really want to do? What do I want to see happen […]

I’ve arrived at a place in my life where outcomes don’t need to go the way I needed them to anymore. People don’t need to act or respond the way that I had needed them to anymore either. I just want to Be and do what I came here to be and do whatever it […]

Is love, love if it doesn’t show up? Is it love if it doesn’t encourage? Is it love if it has parameters with which it is acceptable to identify with? Is it love if it makes fun?Is it love if it isn’t accommodating? Patient?Understanding?Listens? What about makes excuses? Doesn’t respect boundaries or wishes??? Is it […]

Our world makes the most sense when we don’t push against nature. The fact that as a race we do, explains why the world at large is in the state that it is. I didn’t wake up this morning look outside and think to myself, “It’s a good day for watermelon…” whilst looking at the […]

Many of us grew up within family structures that had hard outlines ideals that made up what we came to know as right and wrong. Now, I’m not talking about the “common sense” right and wrong but right and wrong as concerns failure and success, specifically. Go to college; get a 4 year+ degree, intern/get […]

I’ll preface this post by saying that I don’t have all the answers. I don’t believe that we ever can or will. Contrary to our perception, life is infinite. After studying and wholeheartedly partaking in various religions and spiritual modalities, I have come to the conclusion that we don’t die. Not the way we think […]

Parenting has taught me most of the important things I’ve come to know. Special needs parenting has been the extra icing on the cake AND the after-dinner mint. In every way imaginable, in all of the places I didn’t think I could, I did. In every way imaginable they said we couldn’t, we did. In […]

“You’ve changed.”Has anyone ever said that to you, almost as a dig? But you know the changes you made were the right ones because you felt better or your life was getting better in some way? It’s strange isn’t it? How every person knows a different *you* from the next. I read a quote the […]

Life sure is strange, isn’t it? We’re born into families that are made normal to us through continual exposure, then when we set out into the world, we meet others who were raised completely differently. That doesn’t make it wrong, just different. How we were raised has such a tremendous impact on how we manage […]
