Confidence and self-worth are embezzled on the back of NO boundaries. You become a welcome mat for those who thrive on the control they seek by taking advantage of others. Do not arbitrate your worth with those who seek to withdraw all of your energy for their own gain.

Grief, shame, sadness, guilt, and fear lurk in the shadows. They hide deep in the landscape of our soul. It's easier to push them down and find distractions that keep us from taking a deeper look. What we know for sure is that we never escape our pain. We live with it either consciously or unconsciously. If we can dig it up like a treasure and sit across from it at the table, if we are willing to feed it and nurture it, we will then start to become an ally and find growth, healing, and abundance. 

Today we speak about our grief journey. We are days before the second anniversary date of Pauls disappearance. Grief comes in all shapes and sizes.

Navigating tragedy can be so tricky. And when you're a parent of a child who has been through the worst, how do you show up? We can only speak to the way that our family has shown up for each other in hopes that it may offer perspectives and insights.

If you have a life, you have a story and big or small it can change the course of another's journey when you share it.

Holidays can be full of so much joy and magic. The anticipation of watching our children open presents and squeal with delight. The lights, and smells of traditional baked goods. Gathering around the fire, singing carols and offering service. This time of year and celebrations across religious traditions can leave us feeling all of the feels. But this time of year can also be full of anxiety and dread.
