Gift to self — because why not? I just love it! The green amethyst symbolizes self respect and wellbeing. It represents the connection to Earth and the heart, strengthening peace and calm. What’s your favorite gemstone?

When you don’t forgive yourself, a part of you stays stuck in the past, ruminating about what you could have done to avoid a mistake or failure. This form of self-imposed punishment is the thief of joy. It hinders you from being present in the here and now. Letting go of guilt and forgiving yourself starts with acknowledging your mistakes and understanding their impact. Allow yourself to feel the guilt, then gradually reframe your negative thoughts, focusing on LEARNING. Once you know better, you can do better. Embrace self-compassion by realizing that *everyone* makes mistakes and GROW from there.

Boundaries teach people how to treat us. They also teach us how to treat *ourselves*. I love seeing my clients blossom. 🌸

When your dog is the treasure at the end of a rainbow. 🌈🥰

I love my job and more importantly, I love my clients. 🌸

Be kind to your mind. Take one that you need. Which one did you pick?

What a gem! 💎

No one is you and THAT is your power. 🔥 🧘‍♀️

THE CLIMB

They say that when you’re broken
This is how the light gets in
But what if all the cracks
Are letting out the light within?

They say it makes you stronger
But at first it makes you weak
The way you face the mountain base
Before you reach the peak

They say to break is brave
And yet your mind is full of dread
You’re not overwhelmed by courage
But by helplessness instead

But admitting you are breaking
Is far braver than you know
And remember, from the bottom
There is just one way to go

See, I think they mean it isn’t just
That breaking makes you strong
But the way you use the embers
Of your will to carry on

It’s triumph over trauma
And it’s healing after hurt
It’s rising from the ashes
With a new-found sense of worth

So find yourself a candle
And allow its tiny spark
To ignite you back to life
And put the fire back in your heart

And grant yourself compassion
For the times that you feel weak
Just rest until you’re strong enough
To get back on your feet

Yes, I know that when you’re broken
You have only threads of hope
But tie them to the mountain
Like your personal safety rope

Then gather at the bottom
With the summit high above
Then take a breath and take a step
The only way is up
