Over time people have compared life to many things. But personally, I think life is like a really large puzzle. As days pass and time goes on different pictures and patterns begin to emerge. It’s just like matching puzzle pieces by color as you work the puzzle. You grab all the orange colored pieces and…

Smiles of a Child
Is there anything more precious and inspiring than the smile of a child? Children are so trusting. It takes so little to bring those rays of sunshine to their little faces. Mostly they just need to know that someone cares. When you do something for a child, such as give them an ice cream cone,…
Damn Guardians of the Gate
I have guardians in my head I think… The workshops I attend to help heal my emotional wounds are helping a lot. Eva is great about knowing which questions to ask me, which assignment to give me to help dig out the things I need to deal with. One of my assignments was to write…

Healing Letters
Every other Saturday I attend a workshop with a friend of mine. When she started the first one around Easter she called it “Healing Through Journaling”. I saw the announcement on Facebook and almost scrolled past it. It caught my eye but instantly I thought to myself “I never go to those things.” But then…
Dream Journals
Do you have dreams that haunt you? Or dreams that stand out vividly even after you have awakened? It’s time to start keeping a dream journal. In my life whenever there’s been a dream that impressed me enough to remember it after I woke I knew there was a purpose to that dream. I didn’t…
