Fears and Goals
I have a huge fear a failure. Huge. I question everything and whether it will fail. Jobs, relationships, parenting, even being friends with someone. Which is why writing like this every week is such a struggle. It amazes every time I get even a single read, let alone multiple! I am always second guessing myself and thinking it could have been better. Granted, there have been times in my life when I haven't tried. When I haven't put my best foot forward. For the most part, however, I am at constant war with my imperfections and how I let them limit me. There are things in my life that I allow to hold me back, that I let stand in my way. It’s usually just myself, doubting every move I make. Not letting my intuition guide me but instead allowing fear to swallow me up and hold me hostage in my own mind.

The Night Owl
The Night Owl It was a beautiful night, when the blue light of the moon lingered on. The beautiful queen, the one poor lady with slim figure, and long beautiful black hair, never knew that she was meaningful. She always underestimated herself, but now...just now, she was wondering…

Sliding into 2021 on Sweat, Snot and Tears!
Taking into consideration that I was a wee-bit over tired getting up at 2:30am with a puppy every morning as a factor and my nerves being raw, this holiday season has proven to have been a highly emotional mix! For me, like so many of us, most of these feelings were fueled by the dramatic lifestyle, professional, financial, and personal changes brought upon us because of the Covid pandemic and highly charged presidential election.

The Disease is not even a disease.
I have been sober for over 12 years, and I was taught to follow a simple 12 step program. I did just that. I had a sponsor who has been sober for over 20 years. I was doing all these things inside a sober living facility. Keep in mind I was doing this because in the beginning I was just trying to survive and not be homeless again. As time went on, they also suggested I go to meetings and talk about my problems with others, who I call strangers with no experience in knowing human behavior . They only knew what was told to them according to their 12 steps literature.

Healing Inner Child
Leaving 2020 I'm sure has been a whirlwind for everyone. The uncertainty, underlying fear, and overall doubts eating away at people have been a major setback. It is so easy to fall into the misconception that matters will just fix themselves and everything will just fall into place naturally. Yes, there is some truth to that, but the reality of the situation is that nothing comes that easily without a little work. Reflecting on this past year in its entirety, I realized I never learned this much about myself in such little time. There's bliss in solitude which manifests into a bittersweet feeling. It allows you tackle your deep rooted fears and traumas, and learning to embrace them in such a way that is painfully beautiful. Never would I have thought that soon after reevaluating my whole existence and purpose, I would come to face one of the biggest challenges of my whole life...death and grieving. To finish off 2020, I received one of the worst news I could possibly hear, my father had suddenly passed. It was then that my whole perspective on life shifted. The reality is, time is so precious. So precious that every minuscule decision you make or words you tell yourselves has the power to make or break you. I sat on this thought for weeks now and have realized we are much more powerful than we give ourselves credit for. We initially believe we have to prove ourselves in order to be seen and heard in this world, but I'm seeing now it all is about the way we allow ourselves to heal and love and treat our bodies every day that lead us to come out the best versions of ourselves. Healing requires a series of shifts. Time does not heal all wounds, it just gives them space to sink into the subconscious. True healing is going inward, loving yourself, accepting yourself, listening to your needs, addressing your attachments, learning how to let go, and always trusting your intuition. 2021 is the year where I blossom into the most peaceful and positive version of myself, letting go of past guilt and self doubt. I am worthy of all greatness life and deserve all the good energy to come into my life to heal my inner child. My strength is what guides me and I am proud of myself for that. It is okay to be honest and vulnerable, that's what makes you human. Running away from your feelings gets you nowhere. And feeling human, the good and the bad, is what life is. The ultimate goal for me personally this year is to stop playing around with my own potential and pass unconditional love onto others.We are much more powerful than we think, and that is truth.

The Sadhana of Therapeutic Writing
Writings are almost eternal! Whether it is fiction or philosophy, information from eons has reached us through literary works. Great thinkers across the planet have reformed the world through their literature. In the ancient world, whether saint or seeker, writing their perspective was a common practice. Hence, we come across all kinds of scriptures, from atheistic viewpoints to realizing this entire creation as the Divine.

Why Learn To Be Alone Is an Opportunity for Personal Growth
Qualifying emotions as good or bad is wrong. Loneliness, as it happens with sadness, laziness, doubt, or anger, one must consider the context, intensity, meaning, and handling of the feeling to assess whether it is a tool of power or a weapon of destruction. In other words, the important thing is not loneliness, but the interpretation and the use we make of it.

It is not my story to tell...
As a personal coach one of the first things I try to build with my clients is trust; actually, two things - trust and respect. It takes some people a lot of courage and vulnerability to reach out and schedule time to work on themselves. But more often than not they will cancel their appointment out of fear of the unknown in not knowing what to expect.
