Grief: Making Space for Feeling

This past year and a half has been so, so much. For most of us, it has been a traumatizing time. Filled with fear, pain, and grief.

Loving Ourselves Through Our Mistakes

This last full moon brought forward many things I did not want to see within myself and others. Things that caused hurt, pain, and loss. Things that arose from unhealed places. Things I would much rather deny, minimize, or move away from. Things that held the key to a new place of growth and healing within myself and my life, when I gathered the courage to face them, and grow.
