Bonks you on da head: Your Story Matters

This is something that I have said again, and again, your story matters. I'm not just saying it for you, but for me as well. I sometimes forget how powerful my truth is.I think we all go through periods of self doubt, where we wonder if we are really making a difference by telling our stories. I feel that way at least once every few weeks, and then I rediscover why it is that I do what I do and why you should do it too.Your story lets others know...

Who I Want To Be

I've been doing some thinking, as is my Autumn habit. It's a time for me to hunker down and figure stuff out. Look back on the year and figure out what I liked and what I didn't.As the leaves change, I try to figure out what I want to change about myself.I once had a friend tell me that if I really loved myself then I wouldn't feel the need to change. That thought tripped me up for a little bit. Was she right? Was all of my efforts at self improvement...

They are one of the tallest and fastest growing trees but aren't often put in gardens because they tend to take over. The essential oil is derived from the...

Self Soothing

You've probably heard of self-soothing in relation to babies. The concept is that babies need to learn how to relax on their own enough to fall asleep without being held or rocked. Which usually involves a lot of crying on their part.Regardless of which side you fall into on that debate, self-soothing is something that all adults need to learn. When you are having those upset and anxious moments, you need to know how to calm yourself down. You'd...

Wait... I'm a control freak?

If you would've told me a few days ago that I was a control freak I would've looked at you with a raised eyebrow like you were a nutter.After all, if you are a control freak, well you must be ambitious, and impeccably dressed, and you must have your shit together. On the other hand, I tend to be pretty disorganized, I'm really no good at telling other people what to do, and I don't really mind being told what to do and following rules.Fact...

While I am a fan of learning from my mistakes (I'm sure you already knew that) I am also a fan of learning from other people's mistakes. After all, that's logical.

New Beginning and Letting Go

So for all of you that keep up with Pagan and Wiccan Traditions, yesterday was Samhain which is kind like our New Year. It is the day where we honor death, as the day marks the end of the Harvest Season. It is the beginning of the Dark part of the year. It is time for us to go deeper within ourselves, walk with our shadow-self, and hibernate. It's when we decide what we want to blossom into come Springtime.As I'm sure you know, 'cause you love me...
