Loneliness

May 7, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“If you are far away from yourself, how could you ever be close to another?” -Yung Pueblo I’ve been saddened recently while reading proclamations by some of the seeming gloriousness of abandoning reliance on others – holding to the conviction this is the higher path as others have proven we have only our own selves […]

A Mother’s World

May 3, 2018 by Susie Morgan

I was reading on Quora yesterday and came across this question posed by someone: “What does having a mom feel like?” Someone’s answer: “It feels like safety and comfort, security and love. My mom would have done anything for us kids.” This is exactly what we as little ones needed – and yet it is […]

The Buddy System

April 28, 2018 by Susie Morgan

Can’t help but constantly smile with these two around. Their diligent adherence to the Buddy System – even in trying out the top of the fridge as a new vantage point – cracks me up!! And it’s an excellent reminder to me that we aren’t made to be islands. Even when reaching out for support […]

Guidance to Security

April 24, 2018 by Susie Morgan

Lionhearts, I have come to believe that it is not just nurture and protection that we need as little ones in order to feel secure. We also need guidance. We need someone to notice when we feel unsure of ourselves and not quite ready or capable for the challenge in front of us. Some patience, […]

“You do not have to keep reliving old stories, darling. Be brave. You are worthy of new ones. You can create them.” -S.C. Lourie It’s true!! I see it every day, Lionhearts! EMDR therapy allows us to stop reliving old stories – and gives us the power and freedom to author new ones!!

Development For Survival

April 19, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“How does one become a butterfly?” Pooh asked pensively. “You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar,” Piglet replied. -A. A. Milne There is so much wisdom in understanding that we must consider the cost of no longer being a caterpillar before we will be able […]

Transformations Of Lionhearts

April 18, 2018 by Susie Morgan

Lionhearts, so often the quality of our relationships as adults is shaped by our early attachment dynamics in childhood. When our earliest relationships weren’t protective or nurturing, it becomes hard to believe we are lovable and deserving of respect and security in our adult relationships. Despite “knowing better” and making concerted effort to choose […]

Unity

April 17, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“Tell the story of the mountain you climbed. Your words could become a page in someone else’s survival guide.” -Morgan Harper Nichols We need to know we’re not the only one. We need to know we’re not alone.

Your Life Is Your Story

April 15, 2018 by Susie Morgan

“Your life is your story. Write well. Edit often.” -Susan Statham We don’t get to choose how our stories begin. There is a time though when we realize that we get to author what comes next for us. To do so, we often must engage in the courageous work of editing the past – […]

“You can’t kill the spirit of the lionhearted.” -Erin Van Vuren No matter how exhausted we are – or how discouraged – or how hurt – we must remember that at our very core, we are Lionhearts. Thanks to Erin Van Vuren for the wonderful original post!
