a room of my own

The coffee is brewing
I hear footsteps the door
The meeting is starting
Dirty clothes are on the floor
The teacher is waiting 
My boss is talking
Put on your mask and go get the shopping

Wave to the neighbours
Call up your friends
Spend endless hours 
Asking when it ends
Walk off the madness
Sleep off the dread
Sitting here writing
While others make bread

Be every woman
And all before five
Get in a workout
Make up your eyes
Time to make dinner
Though you'd rather dine out
Sip on a beer 
And scroll til you shout

The parks are now open but the playground is not
The camps have been cancelled
June has been hot
Surrounded by papers and never alone
The months feel longer the more I am home.

When you get stuck

Sometimes you can get stuck in a relationship: You're in a constant state of trigger (fight/ flight/ freeze) instead of feeling intimately connected You've become two old stories instead of two open hearts You're scared or angry most of the time instead of feeling free and authentic It's heavy and complicated instead of light and playful  There is more effort placed on control and strategy than growth and gratitude You are there because of a commitment, because you feel you “should”, not because you want to be.  What can you do? You basically have 3 options: 1. Stay . Continue the slow, painful process of losing yourself in order to keep the relationship. 2. Let it go . Sacrifice your relationship to save your soul. 3. Change . You both have to be willing and capable of growing together. The goal here is to see if you can get back to love without sacrificing your authentic selves in the process. To do this, you must remove the idea of promises, attachment...

Courage is not the absence of fear

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." -George Addair Wholeheartedly believe this. We have two choices in life: be led by fear, or lead with love and courage, trusting that things will unfold and work out just as they should. Maybe not how you planned, but always for the best. Fears will never disappear. But when you make peace with your fears, possibilities will appear. The next time you feel fear, just take the superhero stance! (And do some yoga to quiet the mind.)

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.
