There has been nothing
to make me feel quite
as powerless
as wanting to save you
and knowing in my heart
I couldn’t.
(Samantha King Holmes)

Storms come, but you must
remember they also go.
They end. They disperse and
the sun comes back again
to warm your body and
fill your heart with light.
Do not be fooled
into thinking the storms
will conquer you.
They have always been meant
to teach you something.
The waves and currents are
created so you can learn
who you are, who you aren't,
and what you are capable of
in the depths of life.
You've been saying you want
to swim, well the storm
is your teacher.
(Dele Olanubi)

You can be healing and still:
- triggered
- afraid
- emotionally closed-off
- unclear about which path to take next
- tender
Healing is not perfection,
it’s small steps and progress
toward becoming you again.
Journey with grace
through the process.

Both the Winter and the Summer
Solstices are expressions of love.
They show us the opposition of
light and dark, expansion and
contraction, that characterize our
experiences in the Earth school
so that we can recognize our options
as we move through our lives.
(Gary Zukav)

It's hard to explain
your pain to others
when you barely
understand it
yourself.
(Hannah Blum)

Don't forget all those times
you thought you couldn't walk
through fire but you did.
Don't forget all those times
you thought you weren't strong
enough but you were.
Yes, you have scars, but
those are the markings
of a warrior.
If you want to remember
something, remember that.
(Darla Evans)

people fascinate me
like great literature,
and i often find myself
imagining what kind of lives
they have had,
what stories they could tell.
and this allows me
to see them more deeply
and to have more compassion
and love for strangers.
because every green eye,
tattered shoe,
and lovely wrinkle
tells another line
of the story.

If you're struggling
emotionally today
you've likely
forgotten this...
I am enough.
I am safe in my own body.
I am lovable.
Go say it in a mirror.

Beautiful things are vanishing
each day. There has never been
a more crucial time to believe
in your creativity and your gifts.
Trust me when I say that art
creates hope, it connects, it heals.
So please write the damn book.
Paint the picture. Take the trip.
Stay inspired, stay hungry.
Put your work into the world,
and use your voice, because we
need it now more than ever before.
(Bianca Sparacino)

The evolution of my soul,
is my responsibility.

To live with an open heart
is to walk a hero's path.
There is nothing more difficult
in this armored world,
and there is nothing
more profound.
It's easy to head-trip, to focus,
to fixate, to manifest, to detach,
to bypass the world of feeling.
The world rewards us when
we accumulate at the expense
of our authenticity.
But detachment is a tool -
it's not a life.
And it all comes at a terrible
price, because we cannot be
in the moment if our heart
is closed. Truth is the gateway
to the moment, and we can only
know truth through the eyes of
the feeling heart. Open wide...

A Reminder from Smaller Beings
The bird building her home
on your windowsill
has had every nest
destroyed before.
The spider that is delicately
weaving a silken masterpiece
has had every single thread
broken before.
And despite it all,
they try again.
(Nikita Gill)

As a man you've probably
grown up your whole life
hearing "boys don't cry"
"be a man“ or "toughen up“.
If you are still finding it
a struggle to open up and cry,
try thinking of it as a super power.
Did you know that when you cry
you release the stress hormone
cortisol, less cortisol means better
recovery which can then lead to
greater muscle growth.
So chuck your protein powder away
and let those tears go.
(Ryan Rose Evans)

Sometimes, Grace throws you and
your ‘world’ into the washing machine,
full spin, so that the fearful and
controlling tendency is compelled
to offer itself to the Totality -
to the will and dance of the Cosmos.
(Mooji)

You have to die a few times
before you can really live.
(Charles Bukowski)

I trust so much in the power of
the heart and the soul;
I know that the answer to
what we need to do next
is in our own hearts.
All we have to do is listen,
then take that one step further
and trust what we hear.
We will be taught
what we need to learn.
(Melody Beattie)

Signs that you're done with
people-pleasing
• you're fed up with doing things
you don’t really want to do
• you see people-pleasing as the
chronic trauma response that it is
• anger is no longer something
you fear, it’s something you feel
in your body and it’s empowering
• you set healthy boundaries
without worrying about how
other people will respond
• you let people have their opinions,
feelings, and problems
(Dr. Anna Kress)

The real voyage of discovery
consists not in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes.
(Marcel Proust)

I still get wildly enthusiastic
about little things…
I play with leaves.
I skip down the street and
run against the wind.
(Leo Buscaglia)

When I choose to heal,
I choose to live life in an
entirely different way.
I awaken to the truth of
my childhood + the lifelong
impact it's had without the
blame, shame, or denial
I was conditioned within.
For the first time in my
adult life, I put myself first.
And end my role as a fixer,
enabler, or rescuer.
I begin to take responsibility
for my life through setting
boundaries + ending
patterns of self betrayal.
As I reparent myself in
these ways, my self worth
is restored. I no longer view
myself or other people as
helpless. I no longer over-
extend myself so I can
feel needed or important.
I come to terms with my
patterns of people pleasing
that were rooted in
unconscious manipulation,
or a way to be viewed as
"nice" or "good." My worth
no longer comes through
others.
I begin to find me. As I find
me, I begin to build life
around something missing
within all dysfunctional
family units: integrity.
My words match my actions.
I keep promises to myself.
I live my values, instead
of talking about them.
While parts of this journey
will feel lonely + exhausting,
I free myself from the soul
draining life of living for
other people's approval.
I free myself from living as a
false self. I reclaim myself
in a sick society. I am my
own hero.
I model empowerment.
As I am no longer a victim
of circumstance, I create
life on my own terms,
showing the path for
others to do the same.

Sometimes when we criticize
our partner, what we’re trying
to communicate is:
- I don't feel like a priority
- I am not feeling very loved
- I don't feel heard by you
- I don't feel understood by you
- I’m feeling insecure
- I’m not feeling respected by you
- I want your attention
- I want you to feel appreciated by you
It's not an excuse for criticism
but might help us understand
what's happening beneath it.
Our goal is to say what's on
the list instead of criticizing
our partners.
If you catch yourself in a criticism
or complaint might you ask yourself
what need of yours is being
missed/overlooked?
And if you're on the receiving end of
criticism or a complaint might you
ask your partner what they're really
feeling instead of defending or
criticizing right back?
Hard work, without question,
but beautiful work if you're in a loving
dynamic with someone you'd like to
heal and expand with.

Crying releases
stress hormones.
Swearing increases
pain tolerance.
Anger motivates us to
solve problems.
Silence and smiles
aren't the only way
to respond to pain.
Sometimes it is
good to howl.
(Matt Haig)

Before your children came,
they were told that
you would love them,
so whatever you do,
however you treat them,
to them,
it is love.
If you are cruel to them,
they will think it is love.
If you yell at them,
they will think it is love.
If you ignore them,
they will think it is love.
If you walk away from them,
they will think it is love.
And if you are kind to them,
they will think it is love.
And if you are gentle with them,
they will think it is love.
And if you listen to them,
they will think it is love.
And if you hold them tightly,
they will think it is love.
Because we cannot point
at anything that exists
and say, "This is love,"
so you will teach your children every
day they are with you what it is.
And one day,
when someone else treats them
the way you treated them,
they will say,
"This is love."
So teach them well.
No matter what you were
taught yourself.

Your sensitivity is your armor
my friend, and do not let
anyone tell you different.
It may be both a blessing
and a curse to be this way,
to inhale all that performs
around you, but at the end
of the day it is an absolute
privilege to be tender,
an honor to truly care
about the things most
people miss.
To you a pebble is a cathedral.
To you a grain of sand has
a beating heart.
This is why you matter in
this world.
We need more eyes like yours.
(Christopher Poindexter)
