Komorebi
I donāt know what shifted.Maybe Iām too tired. Maybe Iāve cried enough. Maybe something inside me just loosened, finally, after holding on for too long.I was drivingānothing particularly special about that. The sky wasnāt extraordinary. The road was the same one I always take. The weight of my worries hadnāt disappeared. My husband is still … Continue reading Komorebi

Letās just breathe now.I feel everything is so heavy today.My severe anxiety pays a visit,and I just want to shrink āto become so smallthat no one will notice I exist.Inhale through the nostrils,Hold for three seconds.Exhale through my mouth...Again.Inhale ā I am tired, and thatās okay.Exhale ā I let out the heaviness in my chest.Inhale … Continue reading Rest
Present
I donāt know why, but I woke up today feelingā¦ romantic.Not about anyone in particularāmore like a soft ache in the chest, the kind of mood where light seems golden, and small things stir the heart.

Thatās 3 x 10 = 30 minutes of screen time. AmbitiousāI know! š I also registered for a … Continue reading Ambition

One clean break with the past. I was wrong.Every inch of growth, every new understanding, requires me to forgive … Continue reading Re-start

A spouse is like a prismāchanging shape and color depending on how the light falls,how we look at them,how we feel in the moment weāre looking. I forget where I read that,but it has stayed with me. Because itās true.Iām never quite the same person in the morning as I am at night.And neither is … Continue reading Color in Flux
Ask and it will be given to you.
I trust the flow of the universe. All good things come to me. I heard Robert Greene say that we donāt need to complain about anything at all. Everything happens for a reason ā a purpose. And weirdly, I feel a big sense of relief.Itās actually a liberating concept. No need to complain ā itās … Continue reading Ask and it will be given to you.
