You Are Not Weak

September 11, 2020 by Susie Morgan

“You are not weak just because your heart feels so heavy.” -Andrea Gibson Today is 9/11. There is not much more proof of the truth of these words than this day. We hurt, we grieve, we fear, we fight for each other, we reach for each other, we rise. With heavy broken hearts, we rise. […]

Blossom

September 5, 2020 by Susie Morgan

Start Soaring

August 15, 2020 by Susie Morgan

“I don’t know why it works out like this darling, but it seems that we only learn to fly once we stop fearing falling. We only really appreciate the dance, once we stop our demons from dancing all over us. And we only realise the value of our hearts once we have had them broken. […]

Now Is Not Then

July 31, 2020 by Susie Morgan

Rest, Lionhearts. We need it. When the brain is hijacked by triggers and we have to work so hard to find our bearings – to convince ourselves that Now is not Then; When we must be the Adult, and be brave despite still feeling young and scared; When we must do the work of healing, […]

Feeling Everything

June 27, 2020 by Susie Morgan

“Darling, one day, you are going to feel everything you actually are. You are going to feel so huge on the inside. For all you have been through, you will wear it as strength and deep knowing and calm and storm, depending on what is needed in that moment. And you will live in not […]

Honor Your Bloom

June 2, 2020 by Susie Morgan

“Honor your bloom. Trust your wilt. Each serves a purpose.” -Alex Elle The wilt, the collapse, the inability to go on like this – we tend to see these as bad things, as symptoms. But what if it is more accurate to view them as information, valuable messages from our nervous system? They are our […]
