I encourage the hardships that we all face to be brought to the front and center so the real, raw healing can be begin. I'm on a path and though I don't quite know where its taking me yet, I'm listening to my intuition. I'm just a h ...

So how we do we stop blocking our blessings and allow ourselves to …

It's a hard pill to swallow when you tell yourself a story for so long about where you think you'll be, only for it to not plan out the way you originally thought it would. What if thats how it was meant to happen though? What if the goals you set so long ago were for a person you no longer are? Accepting where we are in life now, is the only way t…

Anger is a complicated emotion to let ourselves feel.
