Feeling Is Healing

I watched Adele and her interview with Oprah last night. So much of what Adele said resonated with me that it brought me to tears. She talked about her father being an alcoholic which is an abandonment wound. A parent choosing an addiction is choosing that substance over the child. The parent may be physicallyContinue reading “Feeling Is Healing”

Hope Is In Hopeless

Now that I’ve had my awakening and I’m on my path of healing and spiritual journey. I realize that the entire world is wounded. Everyone has something! As a good friend of mine said, “Everyone is xxxxxx up whether they know it or not.” I know many have not discovered it, many are in denial,Continue reading “Hope Is In Hopeless”

Shorty

To those who know me personally, know that I’ve been on a mission and a little obsessed with my friend’s grandson that is missing due to his father did not return him from visitation last weekend. It’s not only resonated with me but it’s been a trigger. I was 10 years old when my motherContinue reading “Shorty”

It’s Like Fire Shut Up In My Bones

I tried to not blog today. Did you hear me, I tried to dismiss it so I could “take a break” but first let me say there are no breaks when you have a calling on your life. There are no breaks when you have dreams and purpose in your life. It’s a burning thatContinue reading “It’s Like Fire Shut Up In My Bones”

The Domino Effect

Yesterday I blogged about not giving your power away by having boundaries. You empower yourself by holding your boundaries or you give your power to others by not having boundaries. Here’s what else happens when you don’t have boundaries, resentment. Yes! Resentment comes when you don’t have boundaries. We allow someone to do something thatContinue reading “The Domino Effect”

Who’s Got The Remote Control?

More conversations….I frequently hear, “they can’t do that”, “he better not”, “she needs to do this or that”, we are putting our wish list on others that we have no control over what they do or don’t do. I have a friend that got hit on by a guy. She had zero interest in havingContinue reading “Who’s Got The Remote Control?”

Sorry Does Not Mean Changed

Recently I had 2 conversations about this exact quote. The word “sorry” means absolutely nothing to me. For me, it is a word used to manipulate the victim. It allows someone to put the victim back in a position so they can do the same thing to them again. It’s a narcissist’s favorite word. SayingContinue reading “Sorry Does Not Mean Changed”

Delayed Gratification > Instant Gratification

Last Sunday I listened to a sermon called “Delayed Gratification”. Bishop talked about how instant gratification has taken priority in our lives. We want instant “likes”, “follows” and go viral videos. If we can’t lose weight by pulling away and working it off, we take a pill, a shake, wanting it instantly. We have becomeContinue reading “Delayed Gratification > Instant Gratification”

Kenya

There was a time in my life that I was overwhelmed because I couldn’t say “no” to the ones closest to me. I felt I had to do as asked because nobody else would do it or it was my duty. I would do it all while gritting my teeth, exhausting myself, and having resentment.Continue reading “Kenya”

Boundaries to Empower Yourself

I was born to a narcissist caretaker. The only time I was given what I needed in love and acceptance is when I was putting all my energy into them. It was what she liked, she wanted, she needed, her time, her place, everything was based on her feelings and the world revolved around her.Continue reading “Boundaries to Empower Yourself”
