I need to get over the hard times of my past. They’ve left scars, but scars are just memories.
Healing Journal
Seeds of health
If you plant junk food in your body garden, how do you expect to harvest health?
Thusness
Fear is untrust of the process of life.
Selves
A philosopher lives in your mind,
a lover in your heart,
an alchemist in your soul.
Scars regard
A scar is a prayer of gratitude for that which remains.
See me, hear me, I am fifty.
the world may see dried-up and irrelevant —
they may not even see me at all —
LOOK! i’ve re-blossomed with beautiful new petals —
strength, focus, perspective, poetry, silver wisdom —
i am roaring out all that i have held in,
taken on, and put up with — for all my life —
i roar for myself and for all women
i roar at the top of my lungs with all my midlife rage —
LISTEN! no longer can i do it all, nor do i want to —
i may be getting old, but also i am brand new —
There will always be goodness
Even when the future’s not certain, our hearts can still be certain — of love and happiness and all that’s good.
Blessomancy
Every day, spread the magical stardust of thankfulness into your life.
Quits
If you let go of the things you’re addicted to, your pains will let go of you.
Responsibilities
Don’t fall prey to the illusion that duty is only to others — you have just as much a duty to care for yourself.
Hard enough
If guilt or regret is an essential part of your grief, you will never stop grieving.
Queen of Self
Work hard, enrobe yourself in velvet hope, and rule your world!
Measure not surrender
Listen to the voice of doubt only if it has something insightful to say, not if it’s just spouting fear.
