quieting the inner child

I struggle with the inner voice to my past everyday; the inner voice being the past beliefs of all that I was told…

five minute friday {friends}

Welcome to Five Minute Friday .. this week’s Five Minute Friday word hit way too close for home for me…

focus on God

Today is the first day of the Lenten Season. Lenten season being of 40 days of abstinence, fasting and penitence.

I am Catholic and Lenten season is a huge time of the year for us. This is the season leading up to the death and resurrection.

healing takes time

When I walked into therapy almost 6 years ago, never did I think it would be years and years of work and that I would be in this place 6 years later.

I thought I would walk into this mystery place of healing, talk about my story, find out what was wrong with me, find a…

a step into grace

I took this photo Sunday morning at church before Mass started. I laid the bible on my lap, and gently placed my rosary beads…

what’s this feeling?

I haven’t slept yet — I have been up all night. It’s been a long time since I have pulled an all-nighter and I have to say for the first time in a long time — I enjoyed it!

It’s hard for me to do things that I love and enjoy doing when I feel badly or when I am going through a hard time.

maybe it’s enough

Sometimes when we feel so hurt and betrayed, we want more than anything to make the wrong right.

the grace in letting go

It’s not easy to let go of something; especially when I feel so strongly about my convictions!

color me healing

A couple of weeks ago I ordered this Journal coloring book “Color your way to emotional healing” by a woman named Cindy Jackson.
