Instagram post 2155875173686219534_1020419741 This is me today. Yesterday I wrote another part of my book. I wrote about a part of my life full of trauma and grief. It left me emotionally drained, with loneliness and fear inside me. But it did not win. Thanks to a lot of inner work & practices I have learned in recent years, and the support of some great humans, by the time I went to sleep, I was through the worst and out the other side. And today I am smiling. I have joy, because I made it through. I went to a dark place, and I survived. I’m here. I’m alive. And I’m healing. Keep doing the inner work. Because one day you’ll find you can get through those dark times too. We will have dark days, but they don’t have to control us. You can be free. You are not alone. #freedom #regeneration #deconstruction #selfcare #selflove #community #hopewriterslife #hopewriterlife
Instagram post 2155150525644885343_1020419741 I love this quote from Steve Rogers (AKA Captain America). Indeed it always makes me emotional, it gives me chills, as it encapsulates my personal journey and recent history. In the last four years I have chosen freedom. Freedom isn’t easy. And it’s not a one off choice either. Freedom is something you choose every day. It’s hard work. It involves letting go of structures, systems, and beliefs which have held you for a long time. Shedding those is messy, painful, and takes time. It takes courage. And you never stop going deeper into freedom. There are layers to freedom, and to get truly free we need to be willing to unravel it layer by layer. But you’re not alone in this journey. There are others walking this path. Some may be further along the journey, others will be where you are, and yet others may even be behind you on the journey. But you can be sure, if you choose to get free, you will not be alone. You will never be alone. And you will be more alive than ever. #freedom #regeneration #selflove #selfcare #spiritualmemes #spirituality #deconstruction #captainamerica #steverogers
Instagram post 2153414637312790678_1020419741 As I have got to know myself, and as I have leaned into my pain and doubts, and the mystery of self, the deeper and wider my connection with and knowledge of the divine. The further I go into myself, the more intimate spiritual encounters I have. If we close off our spirituality with certainty, we will never discover the deepest levels of intimacy with the divine. #spiritualmemes #spirituality #selflove #selfcare #meditation #yoga #divine #god #prayer #theuniversalchrist
Instagram post 2151839330296796979_1020419741 Such an amazing night with @hillaryliannamcbride talking about healing our relationship with self. Learned so much about practices for self-care, where we can fall down, and loving ourselves better. Thanks @hillaryliannamcbride & all involved for this great evening. #selfcare #selflove #selfhelp #wellness #love #spiritualmemes #spirituality
Instagram post 2150357896891119989_1020419741 I’ve been learning to connect with my inner child. And even to interact with him, soothe him, love him, and support him. Building a relationship with your inner child is important to having a healthy relationship with self, and getting healing from our past. I’m healthier emotionally and mentally and psychologically from doing it. I believe all of us can be. #selflove #selfcare #spiritualmemes #growth #regeneration #deconstrcution
Instagram post 2146807367334242408_1020419741 I could be totally cool about this, but when one of your fave actors & creative heroes replies to your tweet, it’s time to geekout! Thanks for replying @hitrecordjoe
Instagram post 2146558858915884862_1020419741 Was such a privilege to host @kjramseywrites on the @poemapodcast this week. We talk about finding grace in suffering, how suffering gives us solidarity with Jesus - and so much more. Link in bio, but also anywhere you get podcasts. #podcast #suffering #spiritualmemes #spirituality #grace #thistooshalllast
Instagram post 2136617446938068116_1020419741 I have found the creative process, and daily writing/journaling especially, to be one of the cheapest, most powerful forms of therapy & healing, and effective paths to self discovery. Try daily journaling. It can be a sentence or a paragraph or an essay. It’s totally up to you. Both research and my own experience give me confidence it will be life changing for you. Give it a try. #selflove #selfcare #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #creativity #mentalhealth #healing #transformation
