Of all of my natural given qualities, this is one of my finest. I've learned how to carry hard stuff and carry it well (sometimes too well.... 🙄) . . But, just because we can, doesn't mean we should. Sometimes it can feel like we don't have a choice. Like, the hard stuff in life is just our burden to bear. But, what if it's not? What if life isn't meant to be always filled with the weight of the hard?? ✨ . . What if, life was meant to be lived to the fullest? What if you were made to let go of the dark and pick up the light? What if your story is meant to be chapter after chapter of joy?? My dear, you were made for joy. You were also made for sorrow. But, you were never made to have to choose between the two. Just because you have grieved, does not mean you can't embrace joy. Just because you are a killer at holding onto heavy weights, doesn't mean you should. 🔆 . . Today, allow light in. Embrace the balance of both. Give yourself permission to see good. To see light. Love. Joy. And find something worth celebrating. There is always something to celebrate 🍾 ❤ . . . . #writer #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough #authentic #lovewell #loveyourself #misfitsunite #girlmom #lovewell #loveyourself #divinelove #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #bebravebeyou #bebrave #bravingthewilderness #lightchaser #deepthought #deepquotes Listen, I love my kids - but I also love nights out with these girls. 🍷 Never a dull moment! . . . . . #girlsnight #friendsforkeeps #writer #podcasts #blogger #spiritualjourney #spirituality #authentic #lovewell #loveyourself #misfitsunite #girlmom #lovewell #loveyourself #divinelove #friendsforlife❤️ #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise My night stand these days. Yoga and meditation have been such a life saver for me this past year. Centering, grounding and releasing stress through these practices has been incredibly healing. These two oils have taken my practice to the next level. Valor on the challenging days to help my work out, and Stress Away is sooo calming during my meditation 🙏 . . I'm learning that being healthy in mind, body and spirit is so vital. By nurturing your mind and body, your spirit reaps huge rewards. So, in this vein, I created a page with 3 simple ways to start yoga. (I figured everything I've learned this past year might be good for something 🤷‍♀️) link in bio 👆 . . . . . . #podcasts #blogger #writer #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough #authentic #lovewell #loveyourself #misfitsunite #girlmom #lovewell #loveyourself #divinelove #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #yogapractice #essentialoils #easyyoga #meditationspace You've been working, planting, doing that thing so hard. Sometimes it can feel like the work is done in vain - that there's no end in sight. But, the beauty of any work is that it will always bear fruit in it's season. 🍃 . . If you're stuck thinking all of your time was wasted, take a deep breath. Know that the seasons are changing. The ground is shifting. And all of those seeds you planted and cared for are beginning to take root. 🌳 . . Be patient in the middle. Be still and know that this work isn't entirely up to you. The weight doesn't fall completely on your shoulders. The Divine is in it with you. And there are forces bigger than you that are doing their part. It's time to rest. Time to wait. Time to let go and trust that the seeds sprout. ✨ . . . . #writer #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough #authentic #lovewell #loveyourself #misfitsunite #girlmom #lovewell #loveyourself #divinelove #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins #beyou #risestrong #evenstill #werise #progressivechristianity #bebravebeyou #bebrave #bravingthewilderness For years, I believed it was my job to fix the toxic relationships in my life. I believed by doing everything "right", eventually good would win out and all would be well. But my fear of being disliked, rejected and misunderstood blinded my ability to see just how toxic some of these relationships were. . . I became a slave to these relationships and they began to completely run my life. In this episode, I talk candidly about my 15 year journey of navigating toxic relationships and discovering that fixing them wasn't the answer - accepting the reality of what these relationships truly were held my ticket to freedom (and peace).

There was one right kind of family, one right way to pray, one right way to worship, one right way to vote, one right way to believe, one right way to parent, one right way to practice your faith. . . Yikes. . . Thankfully, life has humbled me. Corrected me. And taught me. Thankfully, the Divine creator didn't create all of us exactly the same - otherwise, how could we learn? How could we be challenged to love sacrificially? How could we be stretched outside of our comfort? Thankfully, we were given a creation of diversity in every sense of the word. . . The beauty and freedom I've found in accepting the differences around me has been nothing short of a miracle. Being able to be the student and not always the teacher has softened me in ways not many things could. . . We all have so much to learn. Not only from those who think like us, but from those who think differently from us. Life is constantly our teacher; and if we tune in to what it is trying to teach us, we might just experience God's kingdom here on earth. ✨ . . We are all different. And that's okay ❤ @theellenshow . . . . #podcasts #blogger #writer #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough #authentic #lovewell #loveyourself #misfitsunite #divinelove #lovewins #beyou #bebravebeyou #allarewelcome #progressivechristianity #bethechange
