Labyrinth

Labyrinth

Today I walked a Labyrinth. Before today I didn't even know what that meant. Or what it was. But I can tell you that I was divinely guided to find this space on this day. Here's why; I've been having quite the rollercoaster ride lately. Lots of realizations, changes,...

Self-Awareness

Self-Awareness

Listen, some days are going to be... trying to say the least. Some days you'll have a constant conversation with yourself in your head about what is a story and what is the truth. Because your mind will try to play tricks on you. It will bring up any old past shit...

Growing Up

Growing Up

You grow up seeing what is possible by observing your surroundings. You see what's “okay” or “normal” to have and that's what you strive to achieve. Maybe it's a little bit of your own variation but typically, it is super similar to what you've seen created around...

Surrender

Surrender

Today was full. It was a lot. My brain feels a little mushy right now, to be honest, but I also feel extremely grateful. I decided to hibernate this week. I decreased my social media use by 90%. I have turned my phone off most of the day each day. I pushed back my...

Balancing It All

Balancing It All

While watching a show about modern-day ranchers in British Columbia, I became fully engulfed in this conversation where a Native American horse trainer was explaining how humans are like the 4 directions (North, South, East, West), rooted in those 4 directions are the...

My Stalker

My Stalker

“Because despite all the IG posts and feel good hashtags, you know you’re a fucking failure.” That’s a line out of the the latest love letter from my stalker I received recently. This same woman has been creating fake accounts and email addresses for years to try and...

My Favorite Question

My Favorite Question

My favorite question (Well, one of them): Q: What are you training for? A: Life. I'm training for life. Because I refuse to be in crippling pain all day every day. Because I refuse to be unhappy in my own body. Because I refuse to be afraid to take my shirt off at the...

from me to you

I started writing these pages long before I knew what my life really could be. Maybe I’ve written it into existence, maybe I haven’t…either way this is a collection of my life. All of the stages and everything along the way. Thank you for following along.
