For many, this time of the year can trigger episodes of panic, depression and anxiety ~ personally, I've found this time of the year to be one of the most difficult for those who have experienced loss of community, trauma and grief. Moments for self care, breath work and intentional mediation are focuses for me this season. Choosing to be present in my body, connected to Spirit and at peace are priceless gifts for the soul. #takecareofyou . . . . . #writer #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough #authentic #loveyourself #misfitsunite #girlmom #lovewell #loveyourself #divinelove #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #bebravebeyou #bebrave #lgbtsupporter #lgbtchristian #allarewelcome #dailyinspiration #selfcare #podcasts #blogger Timely words from one of my favorites @themarthabeck . This time of the year it is easy to get distracted by what separates us, rather than what unites us. What is different rather than what we have in common. . . My hope is that this year, we can be brave. Brave enough to choose love over beliefs. Over traditions. Over opinions. Over political issues. Over religion. That, instead, we would be brave enough to burn every bridge between us other than love. Love always wins ❤ . . . #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #relationshipgoals #faithjourney #lgbtsupporter #lgbtchristian #allarewelcome #dailyinspiration #writer #blogger #spiritualjourney #spirituality #podcasts #marthabeck #aboveallelse #aboveallelselove #bebravebeyou I used to work REALLY hard to get pictures of the girls setting up the tree, making cookies, etc. 🎄 But, these days I'm lucky to snap anything - let alone a moment with all of the girls smiling 🤪so this, these moments, although small seem to be where the Christmas magic is. (Swype left to see our ugly Christmas sweater cookies 🎅🏼💁‍♀️) . . . . #momofgirls #girlmom #christmascookies #uglychristmassweatercookies 🙌🙌🙌 Deep Wednesday thoughts. Thank you @minaa_b . . . . . . #deepthought #deepquotes #relationshipgoals #faithjourney #lgbtsupporter #lgbtchristian #allarewelcome #dailyinspiration #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #bebravebeyou #bebrave #bravingthewilderness #writer #podcasts #blogger #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough Abuse series #107: when we are in a toxic relationship, we tend to hide it. Excuse it. And slip into denial of its abusive traits. Typically we love the abuser and want to believe (and focus on) their positive attributes. . . Most abusers are quite charming: especially spiritual and emotional ones. It is easy to deny their controlling, manipulative, hurtful behavior because there are so many things we love about them. But, over time, the symptoms and wear of abuse show. . . This is where we hide. Deny. And ignore all of the red flags 🚩 glaring in front of us. Or, when we do see them, we excuse them away because, after all, their abusive behavior isn't hurting anyone else. At least, that's what we tell ourselves. . . The truth is, when you are being abused physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually, it will affect everyone in your life. Your friends, family, co workers, children - everyone in your life will unwillingly be signing up to be victimized as well. . . Because abuse never stops with you. It will crawl its way into everything that is most precious to you. It will devour them just as much as it is devouring you. Lesson learned: never excuse abusive behavior. No matter how much you believe they love you. It's a slow eating parasite. And it won't just stop with you. Draw the line in the sand- not only to protect you, but to protect everyone you cherish and hold close. Abuse never stops with just you. . . #lessonslearned #abusesurvivor #survivor #relationshipgoals #endabuse #spiritualabuse #narcissisticabuse #emotionalabuse #emotionalintelligence #mentalabuse #writer #podcasts #blogger #faithjourney #spiritualjourney #spirituality #progressivechristianity #spiritualawakening #modernmystic #bebravebeyou #allarewelcome #dailyinspiration #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #lgbtsupporter #lgbtchristian #lgbtq #divinelove I hope today was a day filled with gratitude, love and hope. But most of all, lots of pie 😜 Happy Thanksgiving! . . . #thanksgivingdinner #thanksgivingtable #thanksgiving2019🦃🍂
