It's time we get uncomfortable. Here is a time, recently when I allowed myself to be uncomfortable. I was walking through a tall field of dying grass with my dog, Izzee and found a place to lie down. I thought I would be protected from the wet ground by lying on an area of flattenedContinue reading "Get Uncomfortable"
New Year
From New Year's resolutions to New Year New You programs and all the hubbub over fixing, reinventing, and creating a different version of you. No wonder there's so much anxiety, self-hate and judgment in the world. There is nothing to 'fix' or 'reinvent'. There is no need for a NEW you. There is nothing wrong withContinue reading "New Year"
Dodge The Swatter
*The patio bee ・Tasting the apple cin muffin ・Dodge the red swatter* Don't we all have moments of dodging swatters (input any other word for swatter that works for you) while seeking something we desire? What we need to ask ourselves is, is what we desire/want what we need? Need to grow. Need to learn.Continue reading "Dodge The Swatter"
Obstacles
Obstacles along one’s path are inevitable. It's how we choose to manage those obstacles that matters. One day a while back while attempting to go hiking with my #1 girl Izee, we came across more than one in my obstacle. Obstacles that had us pause, pivot and try again. We were planning on hiking this oneContinue reading "Obstacles"
In Each Moment
Beauty is all around us. At all times. Do you see it? Can you see it? If you look, you will find it. I promise.
Drinking = Norm?
Why is it that our society is so quick to judgmentally ask "why aren't you drinking?" like asking, "what's wrong with you (for not drinking)?" but yet we never ask, "Why are you drinking?" When did drinking become such a normalized standard? I am not even going to address the effects of alcohol on theContinue reading "Drinking = Norm?"
Pressure Building
After that last post...you know the one, where I committed to writing and posting something once a week on living at my edge. To be exact, I said every Monday. Well, it's Monday and I have no idea what to write. Ugh!! Yes, I am living at my edge every day and I have plentyContinue reading "Pressure Building"
Thoughts from the Edge
I've been thinking...dant dant dah...a lot lately about my 'why'. What exactly is your 'why' Deanna? I have asked myself that many times in my life. Maybe not in those exact words but in some form or fashion that was what I was searching for. I have always know in my heart, that my whyContinue reading "Thoughts from the Edge"
The In Between Space
You know that time in the very early morning, the space between sleep and awake? When your dreams are vivid and intense? You know your sort of awake and it's near time to start your day, yet you can't seem to leave the surreal experience in that somewhat dream-state. Or maybe you don't want to. That wasContinue reading "The In Between Space"
A Stranger Connection
Last night I attended a local event. Without giving too much detail, the gist of the event was a sacred circle creating community and holding space for one another. The room was filled with a array of people (ages, colors, backgrounds, experiences. etc). Most were strangers to me. Each of us had 2 opportunities toContinue reading "A Stranger Connection"
