While attending class today, toward my Grief Coaching Certification, I was reminded of one of my original songs, "FREEDOM".

Here are the lyrics -

VERSE 1 -
I’m setting myself free
Giving myself permission
To listen to my heart
Tell me what I need.

I’m setting myself free
From the prison
My mind had me convinced
I could not leave.

VERSE 2 -
I’ve made myself a promise
to release
the dark and setting sun mentality.

I’m setting it in stone
this good intention
to use my mind to end my suffering.

CHORUS -
Freedom.
I found freedom from the power my captors had over me.
Freedom.
I found freedom when I realized my greatest captor was me
and I hold the key to set me free.

VERSE 3 -
I’m letting go of letting
Fear control me
From keeping me from
Who I want to be.

I’m finally allowing
Myself to be
One hundred percent
Unapologetically me.

CHORUS -
Freedom.
I found freedom from the power my captors had over me.
Freedom.
I found freedom when I realized my greatest captor was me
and I hold the key to set me free.

BRIDGE -
I can open my eyes and see it all differently.
I can open my mind and know a new reality.
When I open my heart I am bursting
with love with life and a sense of possibility
and I feel free.

CHORUS -
Freedom.
I found freedom from the power my captors had over me.
Freedom.
I found freedom when I realized my greatest captor was me
and I hold the key to set me free.

Sara McLaughlin has always been an inspiration to me as a Songwriter and a Vocalist. This was an extraordinary moment at her concert last week!!

Yoga invites us to recognize Purusha (Consciousness) the deepest part of our self, which is unchanging. This is our "observer", our "witness," or pure awareness. We're also invited to honor our physical being, Prakriti (Nature/Matter) - aspects of us that do change. This includes our physical body,....

I imagine our wings will be vastly different than before...

We grievers have one main calendar...
"BEFORE & AFTER"...

My Garden of Grief

Related to - Today, I miss my old self, the self that was inspired and regularly had energy to share what I'm learning on social media. The number of losses over the past few years has caught up with me. I'm tired and I'm sad today and I accept that.

~ After raising 3 kids, my husband and I became empty nesters.
~ Then my husband (of 40 years) initiated our divorce in 2019.
~ The multiple (4) resulting moves to new homes, none of which have felt like home.
~ The resulting anxiety about money and my future.
~ My Dad died in 2020.
~ Mom died in 2024.
~ Navigating her estate as the executor of her estate...

I have been studying, learning about grief from experts, for the past few years but I have also come to understand grief through my own experience of it.
I recognize it doesn't end, it changes.

I don't expect myself to "get over it". I know it comes and goes like waves and there's no predicting the timing.

I'm learning to live with it, to allow it to be here, to accept it as my new way of being. It's not easy but resisting it takes even more energy and doesn't feel true.

I also understand everyone has a unique experience. There's no cookie-cutter path through grief.

I'm treating myself with tenderness, care, and . 🥹

Whose voice(s) are you hearing? Maybe a critical parent or teacher?
Maybe you don't need to give them so much power.

The storyteller in your mind is not always speaking the truth.

Awareness begins when you stop believing every thought you hear.

This is the work of The Five Agreements.
