Dear Hudsie, you are FIVE!

To my 5 year old baby boy, Words cannot describe how much I love you. I am so incredibly proud of you with how much you have endured in your short little life so far. You are a warrior, the yin to my yang, the calm to the storm, the rainbow to my rainy day,…

Maybe the Universe

I read this article about love recently. And when I talk about love, I don't necessarily mean intimacy and sexual relationships. I mean loving yourself, your tribe, the people around you, other souls you connect to, life experiences...I'm not sure if the Universe is guiding us or God or what, but I would be lying…

Trauma

Trauma is like a love language. We have all experienced it in some way or form. Everyone experiences trauma differently. Some swallow it whole and it comes out later on in life, spilling into relationships and other parts. Some experience that “leaky” trauma where it comes out all over the place. Some people block it…

Good Mourning

I get it. It’s spelled wrong. But I’m in the mourning phase of motherhood where I am crying daily that my kids are growing up. That oxytocin is wearing thin and my kids are outgrowing my arms and my lap as I write this. I swear I lie in bed staring at my kids praying…

I miss you

I miss you when you were just born. I miss you when you fit so perfectly in my arms and on my body. I miss when I knew you only had me to give you life. When your little eyes would look up at me when you were nursing. I miss when all you wanted…

I’m a battery

A battery never lasts unless it’s recharged. All light eventually will go out. Things with power will eventually run out of power if it’s not recharged. We cannot be ON all the time. Even the most patient and kindest soul just can’t be on at all times. It’s so hard. Life these days. Balancing it…

Love & Grace

Please don’t project your perception of perfection on to me, I will not live up to it. I am a human and I make mistakes; sometimes my words come out wrong, sometimes I get emotional and reactive, sometimes I feel lazy, sometimes I can be a hot mess (ok always), sometimes you may see me…

Everyone needs an “About Me”

Everyone needs an "About Me" section in their life. Celebrities and presidents have biographies and so often the "average" person hardly knows themselves. I don't need a biography, but it can be fun to write about yourself. Sometimes writing about yourself for others to see help you understand more about yourself. PLUS, it's so fun…

Soul sparks- a lot like the other blogs

It’s a real thing and all too often we feel so depleted in our souls. We crave that soul spark more than we realize because we are too often caught up in the everyday clutter and storms. Our souls become a storm and stir up so many emotions. I swear I can see and understand…

I wish I didn’t care so much

I wish I didn’t care so much about what everyone thought and how everybody felt. I always just want everyone to be OK and not get so stressed. Maybe it has to do with the fact that sometimes I feel stressed or out of control and I don’t want anyone else to feel that way.…
