I Was Judged Today and I Lived
Our avoidance of judgement is impossible. The first person to do it to me today was me. And I know the guy in the car did too.

From No People to Communal High
I have made a long journey From No People to a Communal High. My story about how I began to see my worth and my need to belong..

Finding a Way to Be the Most Me I Can Be
I’ve strayed off the path to myself. I’ve been an impostor for a long time. Maybe it began when I was a kid and I was told to be quieter and not draw attention to myself. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to writing what I feel so honestly; so that I may rediscover my truer…

Failing to Convince Myself I’m Worthy
I’m sure no one wants to hear this but I have spent an inordinate amount of time and effort trying to convince myself that I have worth. My inner parent has compassion for my inner child. She had it rough and truly wants her to feel better. But my inner girl is a tough little…

I Own My Life as I Live It
For me, the cup remains half full no matter how many times I recognize I have enough. It is my default mode no doubt rooted in an ancestral history of famine and depression. If I expect the cup’s emptiness, anything more than empty will look great. I live a perpetual struggle to love myself even…
