Each morning we are born again. -Buddha
I admit this is jarring. I would even call it ugly. It’s how I feel.
I am drowning in sadness today. Today it is just too much. There is too much pain… and it is ugly and dark and angry and even scary.
I am at the bottom,
Pain chokes my soul.
Tears I want to shed won’t come.
The Tears won’t fall,
Choking me.
Cracking apart.
Screams stick in my throat.
The pain won’t come out.
Today is a hard day. I know it will pass, but today is still here.

This whole “quarantine” Social Distancing thing… Great intentions but making me feel a little LOONEY!!
Things I’ve been doing:
* I need to ADD more of THESE!
How are you?
What is your “go-to” feel better thing?

Something I made a few years ago while art journaling with Pastels.
Today, when I was feeling so anxious… looking at it reminded me of a time when I needed peace and found it hidden inside myself.

During this time of social quarantine, school closures, supply panic and constant news loop of pandemic updates… try centering yourself.
Remember:
Stay strong! This too, shall pass. We will learn lessons and use them to be better prepared and more assured in the future.
Blessings

It’s been a rough few days. Depression, anxiety, restless nights, challenging work situations to solve, and family members feeling stressed out… not sure what weighs more, but I’m tired and tired of sitting in this uncomfortable place.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want. AND what I’m afraid to ask for. Here is my list:
What are the things your HEART yearns for, but you’re afraid to put into words?
Food for thought…

A video I did last year.
Rings true today as I am struggling with back pain and forced to do almost nothing.
Working on staying positive and looking on the bright side: I’m better today than yesterday, and I work from home where I can do a lot via cell phone and laptop.
Be Brave, Friends! Don’t Quit!!

This quote by ??? Resonates with me. I love people…. but I especially love the “off-beat” ones. I’m drawn to artists, motivators, comedians, history buffs, sarcastic people, wounded people, healing people, mystics… the list could go on.
It’s not about the outside trappings: race, religion, age… it’s about the person who sparks something of interest in me: something I need or want to learn, life experience different from my own, points of view that make me think or question where I stand on any issue.
I guess I am basically curious by nature. What makes a person who they are? And… What can they teach me about the world and it’s people?
Also, I am admittedly a Square Peg… so to all those who think differently, feel like the outsider in a group, feel out-of-step… WELCOME 💕
YOU ARE MY PEOPLE!
