On Time Bloomer

I actually don’t like the term “late bloomer.” Late for what? Whose timeline? Your parents? Friends? Society? Your own self doubt? There’s so set deadline or given time for you to come into your own, discover your niche, or even realize your purpose. And even when that happens, there’s still so much more that you…

You’re Handling it Well

“Love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark.” -Albus Dumbledore This God given assignment is a barrage of emotions, rewards, physicality and reflection but you’re handling it well. Even on the days where you question every little decision, reaction, conversation and thought. You’re handling it well. On those days where you’re…

Presence in the Present

As I walked into work today, my mind was racing with thoughts of “I just need one more day,” “I’m so tired,” or “I wish I could just stay home and work.” All valid feelings going back to work after a holiday. But those thoughts began to unnecessarily consume me. I walked into my classroom…

Unknown

“If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day…

Equinox

Spring is approaching. The light, breezy, peaceful weather, flowers blooming, trees beginning to show the greenness of their leaves again, more sunlight, and a feeling of growth. One of my favorite times of year. Earth is in the process of emergence, as it knows it’s time to start anew. It’s the season of renewal. Much…

The pressure to feel as though something major in your Life needs to be accomplished before the new year, can be disheartening. January 1 of any year can definitely feel like we all get a fresh start, I mean the number 1 is literally the start of any thing we can think of. But a…

Let Your Heart Be Light

The holiday season can mean something different to everyone. Some of us may start our shopping in November, some of us wait until Christmas Eve to decorate, while some of us binge-watch Christmas movies starting November 1. It varies across the board. But for a lot of us, the spirit of Christmas does not consume…

“If you feel like you don’t fit into the world you inherited it is because you were born to help create a new one.” -Ross Caligiuri I’ve been sitting on this quote since I viewed it earlier today. How profound is it to finally understand why we just don’t always know or feel we contribute…
