Navigating Challenging Moments In Life

This is a rant processing my challenging week, where I felt overwhelmed in moments, disappointed, undeserving. It happens to everyone, and you aren't alone. These moments give me the opportunity to reflect, grow, and become stronger. Without them, I am not sure I would be evolving like I want to. So while it's hard, I am also thankful. I am so thankful for my life, and for the people in it. Thank you for listening and being a part of my life!

Building Healthy Habits Takes More Than 30 Days

I have been working on building habits for a very long time, and some of my education was about developing tools to do this successfully for the rest of my life. Throughout the last decade of my life I have been discovering how long it actually takes to create new habits, that will truly replace the old habits, and I concluded that it definitely takes more than 30 days. Readjusting ourselves after taking on heredity, genetics, trauma, pressures of life, lethargy, lower desire as opposed to our h...

I am not here to coerce others, but to speak from my own heart and my own experiences so that those who need what I have to share find it and feel supported. In the past a lot of people had assumptions about who I was, and as I get older I feel a deep pull to be myself fully, to be...

Christianity, Marriage, Men, Women, & God

Just some thoughts on a topic close to my heart: the misunderstanding of spirituality and Christianity, and men and womens roles. I feel a lot of people don't realize they're following a version of Christianity that was created for years and years by churches in order to control people. Christianity itself supports freedom, love, and brotherhood, and is fully spiritual: but churches and the understanding they preach of the Bible are as caught in the nets of materialism and control as anything el...
