Well over 20 years ago I applied to colleges with absolutely no idea how I would be able to afford to go. I applied anyway. And somehow, through a string of miracles – grants, scholarships, and loans just enough to meet what I needed and two truckers who helped drive me and my overheating Honda […]

Lean Into the Breaking
“Trust me, love, there will be heaven in the breaking. Just breathe, love, if it all ends you will begin.” -@GirlofCardigan When we begin to heal from developmental trauma and process memories, we must lean into the breaking – lean into the free fall into a future without the parents we’ve idealized like castles in the […]
