When I’m in pain: physical or emotional: I turn to the green babies. Today’s lesson came from my monstera. Gifted years ago, during a season of survival came before knowing. That’s why she’s beautifully twisted. A survivor.
I gave her a little support; and she kept growing.

I aspire to do the same.

I am enough. I deserve this. πŸ’–

Candy-red, handrail included, and all mine: my writing + Patreon made it happen. πŸšΆπŸΎβ€β™€οΈ ✨

Sometimes the best moves start with a little β€œyes” to yourself. 🌱

And thank you to my Patreon supporters. I need to push myself ✨ and that is okay!

Today is heavy.
The father who harmed me is gone.The mother who wouldn’t fight for me is absent in love.

I allow myself to feel this grief: anger, sorrow, confusion.
I honor the child I once was, who deserved care.

I survived.
In that survival, I hold space for my own love and tenderness. 🌿

Easing into rest …

There’s a quiet knowing rising in me:
I’m realizing I already have everything I need to step into what’s calling next.
So I’m following that first spark, that little inner yes…
trusting that what’s meant for me is already in motion.
