I have the conversation moment today! You see.. I'm the chatty one in this household, and my husband is taking the part of listening, seriously. So I like to have a good conversation with my husband ... But he doesn't always deliver. No.. it's an understatement, he rarely delivers! And this evening, out of the … Continue reading Conversation

Boundaries
I am not responsible for someone else’s chaos.I am not a fixer, a shield, or a scapegoat.I offer help when it’s welcomed — and step back when it’s not.I can be kind without abandoning myself.I do not owe my energy to dysfunction.I do not make myself smaller for someone else’s control.I am allowed to say … Continue reading Boundaries

I light the day with intention, hoping—quietly, deeply—that today will be the one. The one where things click into place, where I can finally exhale the breath I’ve … Continue reading Morning
Again, courage.
