Reach: Finding The Light Of Grief.

I have wondered how many other people have suffered a tragic loss and found silence from people where solace should be... have had the experience of people not asking them how they are doing, of tiptoeing around the topic, of only talking about surface things, because they assume you don't want ...

Release Your Dead Weight And Soar.

Don’t waste your tears on those who don’t deserve it. Don’t chase or cry over anyone who doesn’t feel lucky to have you in their life.

A Mother’s Heart. {poetry}

It is my hope that my daughter and I will continue to live in the present and choose love over resentment. This poem, Mother’s Heart, was written for my daughter, whom I love with every drop of my being.

Thank You For Surviving The Wreck And Choosing Life.

The healing that sometimes happens is exquisite, shattering every idea I once had about how much a human heart can hold. Against all odds, it is possible that sometimes our grief gives us our humanity, restores us to relationship. But it does not return us to what once was.

The Tragedy Of Being Cool.

Girls, what if instead of limiting yourself to being pretty, well-dressed, sexy, or skinny, you could simply be genuinely loving, kind and compassionate? Boys, what if instead of limiting yourself to being macho, rich, or popular, you could simply allow yourself to be open, genuine, and maybe ...

She Stood Alone On The Edge Of Darkness. {poetry}

The sun was setting, salmon clouds under a sky of Dodger blue, flocks of geese on a sprawling lawn. A waxing gibbous moon beckoned like she needed a guide, a divine light.

What I Know About Grief.

You are tender rage and gutted yearning. You are the softness waiting in the afterglow of fright. You are the architect of your wreckage. But you will never defeat grief. Because you are so much more than grief, it wouldn't ever be a fair fight.

Do Talk To Strangers: Close Encounters Of The Human Kind.

I’ll hole up in a little stone cottage on that isolated Scottish island I mentioned earlier, feeling that I want to be alone… then someone will arrive in a little boat and offer to tell me a story and my resolve flies out the chimney as I fling open the door, sit down, put my elbows on the ...

Call In The Magical Child Within You.

She is the water and fire you crave in life. She is the one who aches at you each time you give the power away. She waits for you in the stillness of all the chaos and fear. She waits for you to embrace her -- and tell her that it's okay to be powerful. She is your guide through the rough and ...
