Dear Anxiety, For years you have been lurking in the shadows of my mind, biding your time until you saw the perfect opportunity to insert yourself into my life. You came dressed in vibrant colours and draped in glittering jewels with a voice that acted as a soothing balm to my parched heart. You whispered…
Let’s be Real
There are so many things that we all do or feel but never talk about. So let’s talk…
An Experiment in Rest
I am an expert at pretending to rest. I can fool myself into thinking that I’m taking the appropriate amount of time to be still, to stop checking items off of my to-do list, and to enjoy that art of slow living. But the truth is that I’ve never stopped striving at all, every time…
