• What is my motive?

  

  Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to overthink the majority of the time. After my last post about allowing myself to “just be,” I have been working hard at doing that. I have had a week and a half of processing that, what it means for me, and how to live that out…

• Identity and Starting with What I Know

  

  Through journaling this morning, I realized that I have a lot of questions about what’s next for me, what to focus on, what’s truth for me (without distraction), what’s important to me, what are non-negotiables, what I’m not sure about still, and what I’m ready to let go of. I spend a lot of time…

• Finding My Way

  This week has been somewhat rough for me in many ways. I went several nights not getting quality sleep (and not enough hours either). I have been anxious (more than I’ve been in quite a while), and have felt the heaviness of depression starting to settle a bit. Not as bad as usual, but it’s…

• 10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment

  

  Emily P. Freeman is one of my favorite podcasters and authors. Every year, she puts out “10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment,” and I love to answer these questions each year as a reflection of my previous year and the beginning of a new year. This is from the pdf with those questions: What worked? So…

• Healing Isn’t Linear, Part 2

  

  I have started writing this post so many times, and I’ve had to start over multiple times. There are so many things going on in my life at the moment, and some of the most important things can’t be shared… so it’s hard to know where to start. First, I want to bring up what…

• Aha Moments + Figuring Out Who I Am

  

  I feel like I’m learning something new everyday… either about myself, about others around me, or about life in general. I guess that’s semi-normal, BUT I am a super reflective person so it’s just a constant thing for me. It can be a blessing and a curse. I am ALWAYS processing things in my brain,…

• Healing Through Being Wild and Free

  

  My family and two other families at camp went to the Gila National Forest to camp for 5 days (well I guess technically 3 because a day of driving on both ends). The purpose of this trip was to do some research and development for a trip that Robert is going to do this summer…
