Calling all writers or wanna be writers, however you define yourself. I have TWO scholarships for my 8 week course called Choose Yourself, starting next week. The class is meant for anyone who has a story to tell and is either scared, unsure or needing support in crafting that story. Our writing is only as good as our self knowledge and courage. This course is meant to get you there. Message me here or on insta! @thatkindoflight

5 days before your two-year old birthday Hi there, growing child. You’re taller, your back is wider, your torso thicker. It looks silly when I hold you like a baby though just a few months ago, it still worked. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ve learned a lot about your almost two-ness. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 1. It’s always got to be your idea and your…

Letter to my almost two-year-old son on our sixteenth day of quarantine. — Hi baby, Today is our sixteenth day in quarantine. We went to a green meadow nearby, and you saw people riding a horsey for the first time. We rolled around in a sea of glistening green grass. We took a walk, and you wore yourself out pushing the stroller. You screamed at…

If London and Madrid and Tehran and Beirut and Mozambique and Colombia are all doing exactly what you are doing right now…do you know what that means? That means we are now more empathetic, and more open to each other than we’ve ever been before, EVER. We have no state based or national enemy in the world bigger than a virus. We, essentially for the first time, share the exact same pain and fear. So we see each other as the same right now. Every other difference is relegated down in importance. For once, we are actually one humanity.

Quarantine me with you. I’ll care for you like I do. Three home cooked meals Yes I do. Games anew impromptu Yes I do An adventure In the trees …of our apartment complex Yes I do. But never quarantine me from you Because not only are you My only one I’m your only one Too

Taking that step ⁣ In darkness⁣ With no one around ⁣ ⁣ We don’t know what we’re doing ⁣ But we do it ⁣ In enormous faith ⁣ In humongous ⁣ Gigantic faith ⁣ ⁣ Because everything is⁣ Being blown up ⁣ As in ⁣ The way things once were⁣ And no one’s giving up ⁣ We’re taking breaks ⁣ Sure⁣ And maybe a walk⁣ ⁣ The kids are eating ice cream⁣ And watching Frozen ⁣ Again?⁣ Again⁣ ⁣ Star Wars grows your brain, right? ⁣ ⁣ But we’re doing it⁣ And it is truly⁣ The most magnificent sight⁣ ⁣ For we should be on our knees⁣ And in immense disbelief⁣ We should be crippled⁣ By the weight of the unknown⁣ ⁣ And yet ⁣ We are far more ⁣ Resilient ⁣ Than we’ve ever known ⁣

I think we’ve got it all wrong. We talk so much about strength and so little about power. People tell me, “You’re so strong.” And I think, yea, I mean I’ve pushed through things. Strength reminds me of white knuckling it. Of just grinding through it. It reminds me of…

The Stuck Place was a place where honesty and emotion couldn’t survive — I grew up in the Stuck Place. The main difference between the Stuck Place and any other place is that in the Stuck Place, you can’t really be your whole self. Strangely, the Stuck Place is the safe place, the love place, the family place, the “home is where the…

Took a walk alone today and I determined my one “to do” for the next decade. To walk in nature for an hour without the distraction of my phone. Because, as I’ve been taking solo walks in nature now a long time, it seems my mind is less focused now…
