Dear Me, I know how hard it is to keep walking when the path ahead is foggy, when your feet feel heavy with waiting, and your heart aches with quiet wondering. But today, something happened.

Today, I was triggered.A colleague pushed my buttons and I lost my peace. I tried to keep my composure—I even said yes to some of her absurd requests, all in the name of harmony.I noticed myself.I saw how I tried to let the frustration escape through slow, controlled breaths.I felt how I held my tongue, … Continue reading Exhale (shoo shoo be doo…)

When I feel upset about something that happened in the distant past, I said … Continue reading Unusual

Relief
I walk from June with gratitude. Not sure to be honest how I can be this calm and peaceful, perhaps all the storms finally crack open my heart and now I know I too have the light within me. I remind myself to be here and now. That's a great relief. Karin Sabrina
