Breathe. Deeper. Fill your lungs, then use your stomach, your diaphragm to purposefully continue filling your body with as much air as it can hold. Take a moment to realize how much extra air you can inhale beyond your usual, weaker breaths. As you slowly exhale, allow your body to relax. Once you feel you have exhaled enough, keep going. Use your diaphragm once more … Continue reading Breathe Deep, A One-Breath Meditation
If anyone is to ever know us – if anyone is to ever truly love us – we must be honest with ourselves, and then be honest with the world. Our differences are what make us unique humans. Our scars, inside and out, are what we should be most proud of. There are so many things that we hide: Who we were; Who we are; … Continue reading Counting Scars
I ordered some author’s copies of my books. If you have not yet published your work, I cannot recommend it enough. Those of you who have published – you know what I’m talking about when I say how amazing this feels. What kept me from doing this years ago? What keeps any of us from doing what we want to do? For me, it was: … Continue reading Unboxing My Soul
I learned a long time ago that standing still, sitting still, it’s just another way of being dead. I have nothing against being dead. But, what is the point of it?

I’d like to remind you that you are remarkable. No one else has ever been you as magnificently as you are. Now, the tough part of that truth. You aren’t always right. Maybe you have even done something you are not proud of. We all learn and grow and change. But no one else has ever taken your journey. They cannot judge your soul. And … Continue reading Remarkable

Your support of my … Continue reading Dancing with Your Future Self
Here I am. Head held high, Ready to catch the rail, Leaping on as it rolls by. I’m off to adventure. I’m cleared for flight. Ready to wake the sleepers, Ready to start a fight. The light has found me, Has filtered through. So follow me from darkness, Into the wild blue. Continue reading I Am Ready
If you could burn anything – any idea, object, word, insect – Anything – what would you burn? I think I would burn procrastination. It is the bane of my existence. Mosquitos could go, but they do feed the spiders that feed the birds, etc. Maybe global warming, but that is a result, not a thing…World hunger is kind of a given but it’s so … Continue reading Leave the Burning to the Fire.
Waking up with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a rare connective tissue disorder. In my case, it is considered an invisible illness. But it is not invisible. Sometimes it’s all the world sees. The primary symptom for me is daily dislocation of my joints. There are many other little symptoms, like too-soft skin, poor healing ability, brain fog, and an unpredictable reaction … Continue reading Invisible
Take a few minutes today to make the world a better place for yourself. Change your sheets, finish a task, finally get your clothes put away. Just think how great it will be to wake up tomorrow not think, “I wish I did that yesterday.” Continue reading What have you done for yourself today?
