Break that façade
The dizziness and chest pain came back today. I actually fell asleep at my desk like my body just decided it was done for the day. I managed to drive myself home and basically crashed the second I walked through the door. When I woke up, this phrase was sitting in my head like it… Continue reading

Meditative Sunday
I woke up this morning without my cell phone. My dog climbed on top of me, curled up, and fell asleep. When he woke, he gave me kisses on the cheek and just snuggled close.

The Weight We Carry: Learning to Rest Before We Break
I’ve spent years carrying weight that wasn’t mine—stress, expectations, unspoken grief, the silent demands of a world that never stops moving.
