Sharing for those needing distance today. #LinkInBio Kicking Your Mom to the Curb on Mother's Day. Setting boundaries sucks sometimes. Your family may not like it. YOU may not like it at first, but you'll like your freedom. This was healing to write but hard to share because my mother is alive, and well, and reading. But I didn’t realize the ridiculous roller coaster I was on by forcing myself to be in uncomfortable, harmful situations for so long, and sometimes hearing of other’s healing heals you, too. Grateful for incremental healing and wishing you all the best as you set boundaries going forward. ✨ [image description: multicolored silhouette of an adult and a child, black brick background.

Sometimes we just have to let the days have their way with us; to surrender into the flow and relax, explore, laugh and play. Feeling completely rejuvenated after spending several weeks with my tribe on the #WestCoast. Grateful to the land for holding me and to the waters for replenishing my spirit. Offering my deepest love and #gratitude to ma soeur @erynne.michelle for the radiant light you bring into this world and into my life. ✨ To @kngplcd and @peruzzo.prz for the gift of your laughter and grounding companionship. And to my Beloved, for your open heart, unconditional love and your willingness to ride the wave as we make our way through new landscapes. 🌊 You teach me every day simply by being you. Thank you to the rest of my brothers and sisters who received me with open arms this summer and welcomed me into your hearts and homes @mneeq @manifestingrachel. Together is good medicine. I am truly #blessed. #abundantlife #medicineriver #divinenourishment #highvibes #healingincommunity #ingoodcompany #rockclimbing #sacredsisterhood #Squamish #BritishColombia

The lie of healing slow is feeling stuck. Some days will feel like you’ve gone backwards and some will feel like you’ve barely survived at all, like you’ve clawed your way up for a breath that you choke on while sinking. You are not stuck. You are still healing. Brief fatigue is a part of the healing cycle, a reminder we all need rest. Having to heal again (and again) isn’t a failure. Celebrate your slow healing, your repeated healing. You are right on track. ✨ [image description: White writing on black background with orange floral edge that says: My healing is slow but proof that healing is possible. Honor your need for slow healing, repeated healing, and deep, lasting healing.

Hard truth: something can look beautiful, and feel beautiful, and actually BE beautiful in many ways but still come to an end, need to end, and be better for ending. Sometimes you pay for peace with solemn farewells. I’ll be pausing for a bit to end some things well. I asked some friends to care for me well during this time, and they are, and I am grateful. Blessings to each of you in all that you carry. I hope you have community. 💜 ✨ [image description: White writing on black background with floral edge that says: Sometimes you pay for peace with solemn farewells. There is beauty in pausing. And peace in goodbyes.

It’s hard but I hope this sets somebody free. The life of peace you desire is awaiting some tough goodbyes and the freedom endings bring. You don’t need a fuss or fight. Nobody has to be a villain. And I’m sorry, but this goes both ways. Some people will say goodbye, and we will need to let them. It hurts, but it makes room for healing. And most of all, it is normal. It is so natural a thing, the flux of relationships, and it may not be a permanent goodbye, but learning to let go is a vital…and survivable. ✨ [image description: White writing on black background with floral edge that says: It doesn’t have to be anyone’s fault for you to decide a relationship is no longer good for you and to walk away from it.

People you love and respect may still need time to adjust to the you who says No and is at peace with them disliking it. Read that again. Not everyone will like the you who values your rest, declines invitations, is less available to them. This is normal. The discomfort of it will lessen with time and practice. Someone responded to this saying they’re just trying to be at peace with everyone, and I’m sorry, but not everyone wants to be at peace, and not everyone will choose to be at peace with you. I’ve chosen to be at peace with myself. ✨ [image description: White writing on black background with floral edge that says: I want y’all to become okay with people being mad at you, people being disappointed in you, people not agreeing with what works FOR YOU.

You have permission to be someone entirely new. ✨ [image description: White writing on black background with floral edge that says: You are allowed to be changed by grief.

We hear “this is a trauma response, or that’s a trauma response.” Okay, but healing is also a natural response to trauma. We do more than hurt. We heal. I hope you’re seeing healing in response to all the harm you’ve weathered. I hope your perspective shifts. ✨ [image description: White writing on black background with purple floral edge that says: Healing is also a trauma response. You don’t have to label your experiences from only one perspective.

Cultivate self-compassion like your life depends on it. Because it does. *I’ve had this draft saved since June or so, but my life got really busy. And I despise busy. And I’ve learned I need less busyness in my life to attend to my own grief with compassion. I hope you all get a chance to do this and encourage others you love to do the same. I’ve been doubling down on whatever joy I was feeling in the second slide, which was also in my drafts on here and idk why but, I like my face and hair, probably one of the last pics of my hair that way. And the joy, the genuine joy I’m continuing to cultivate. Make time for joy, y’all! ✨ [image descriptions: White writing on black background with purple lotus floral edge that says: Wishing you gentleness in your grief, that you find a way and create the space to treat your heart with care.

Showing up for ourselves and for those we love, even when we don’t have the words to say. Especially when. ✨ [image description: White writing on black background with pink floral edge with a poem that says: On Bearing Witness, it is a sacred place, this silent space, where words lay down, and take their final breaths, do you have the courage, to be quiet, the strength, to be still, the bravery to bury your words, and sit with me.

I love y’all. I believe in y’all. Your stories are complex and worthy of being shared and heard, first and foremost by you. ✨ [Image description: white writing on black background with white and yellow floral edging that says: One day I will teach more people how to tell their stories, stories of harm, stories of healing, stories of surviving it all, stories of laughter and joy.

Some days I’ve not wanted to show up at all, and I’ve given myself room to do just that. To not show up, to call in, to be present with my own pain. Other days I show up, and I’m present with others in their grieving. Over and over again, presence is the common denominator. Showing up for you when you need it most. Showing up for others just the same. Healing our community. Healing in community. ✨ [image text: It’s such hard work, mourning and still showing up daily. But our grief wants the same thing we want...To be seen, to be heard, and to be acknowledged, even if not fully understood. Our grief requires our presence and transforms in the presence of caring community.
