Choose your own adventure
Sometimes, when I meditate, I am inspired by random words or phrases. One time, “choose your own adventure” came up. I knew what it meant because Dr. Joe talks about creating the future you want and then letting it go. It sounds so easy and magnificent to be able to write my own future. However,…

Control
Yesterday, when I was meditating, two words kept coming up – trust and control. I have come to the harsh realization that I am, and always have been, a bit of a control freak.

Believing is Seeing
My Life-Changing Epiphany Sunday, April 26th, started like any other Sunday. Jeremy took the boys hiking while I stayed home for some quiet meditation. I set myself up comfortably in my wheelchair, opened my Vision Board app, and began to focus. A vision board, for those unfamiliar, is a collage of images and affirmations representing…

The Power of Synchronicity: My Path to Healing
Believing in a Greater Plan Jeremy and I have always believed that everything in life happens for a reason. According to Google, synchronicity is “the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.” Every pivotal step in my healing journey has been marked by these seemingly coincidental yet deeply…

The Moment Everything Changed: My Self-Healing Journey
How I Found My Path to Healing I can’t begin the story of my healing without first sharing what led me here. I call it my self-healing journey because I’m working from the inside out—using meditation and mindfulness as my primary tools. However, I didn’t reach this point on my own. Countless coincidences, synchronicities, and…
