My emotions and my heart are all over the place tonight. I was reflecting on the past year and I suddenly just burst into tears, and the worst part is I feel guilty for having these moments. Because I know, trust me I know, that in the larger scope of things, everyone reading this and… Continue reading My 4th man in the fire, time after time
I hope you all had a great Easter! Easter always gets me feeling the deepest emotions. Wherever you may stand in your belief and/or practice towards God, and whether or not you believe in religion or the church, I hope yesterday you were able to take a moment to reflect on this solid truth: Jesus… Continue reading The Good Shepherd
My husband and I have often talked about how easy it can be for our mind to get lost in the darkness of negative ideas that frustrate or produce anxiety in us if left to unravel. How very important it is to not let yourself get lost in negative thoughts and have a healthy support… Continue reading If you listen, God is there

Brené Brown has a great video On Empathy that explains so well the difference between empathy and sympathy. About that vulnerable place where you are asked to “feel with a person” when they are saying to you, with or without words “I’m scared, I’m overwhelmed”.
