The human condition fascinates me. Our choices of expression and connection, be it through speaking, writing, poetry, painting, drawing, music or making. As Brene Brown says "we are hard-wired for connection". The relationships I have are the most important thing in my life. My family growing up had a lot of shame and were really adept at ignoring the elephant in the room, but somehow we were close to each other. Everyone would back you up a million percent when you needed them. I was the over-thinker, the black sheep if you will, that always wanted to discuss why we would argue. Yup, I was the why kid. Now I'm a grown up. I'm not perfect, I make mistakes. I question guilt, shame, blame and why we can become disconnected from ourselves or others. I love my perfectly imperfect self. Join me in striving for resiliency, forgiveness, love and gratitude for everything we go through as connected human beings, to be the Warriors we are meant to be. ❤️
