• My daughters birthday

  

  Throughout the pregnancy, I swore she was going to come earlier than her guess date of September 6. Clearly this was just what I wanted since I had no actual way of knowing that. The closer that day came, the more the anticipation grew. Almost to the point of becoming disappointed that I was so…

• Unruly roommate

  

  I preach patience while pushing myself to the brink of snapping. I preach deep breaths as I hold mine in, afraid to release. I preach acceptance while begging myself to change. I preach unconditional love while only loving myself under certain conditions. I preach movement while remaining stagnant. I preach peace but I’m at war…

• Life cycles (part 2)

  

  Death is normalized in our family, and not because I intended it to be that way, but because nature intended it to be that way.  While I was pregnant I was unsure of how to properly address the concept of death with a small child. My brain wanted to make a very big deal out…

• Life cycles (part 1)

  

  A guest found me right around noon that day. She said, “One of the horses fell as they were walking out to the pasture.” I knew immediately. He was showing signs of deterioration and getting weaker by the day. Every time we discussed the idea of making the call for him, he’d perk back to…

• New growth

  

  Here I am. In a place that I dread coming to, in clothes that hide the slump in my spine,  with fingers that are bloody, picked apart, and chewed open. Here I am.  In a place that I know all too well, a place that used to scare me, and sometimes it still scares me…

• Kindness

  

  I can feel my voice getting louder. Not only with the words that I say to myself but to the words I speak to others. And not necessarily in the volume but in the passion/compassion behind the content. I’ve become more conscious about the ripple affect that words have on my surroundings, energetic and physical.…
