What is the key to healing? People ask me this often. Maybe you often ask yourself as well. This journey is so uniquely yours. This path you travel has to be extraordinarily your own. It can be no one else’s. The road will always be there. You just have to choose when to take it. Healing is a journey. It is not a destination. It requires work, commitment, and trust. What you’re looking for isn’t out there, ya know? We look and we search…and then, we look some more. We uncover and we discover…trying to recover and heal in some small way. We continue to look in all the places for the very things we’ve held within us all along. When a soul is in need of healing, it will find itself at the feet of growth. It can be a painful, messy process. Stay the course. Healing is when we no longer feed the shame and the secrets that have long been hidden inside of us. Every time we face one of our fears, we become a little more free. You already hold the key to all of it…

Did you know that what you want is already within your reach? Everything you need, you already have at your fingertips. Every dream you can think of creating, you’ve already dreamt up in your mind and in your heart. It’s there. You just need to discover it. Self-doubt will make you question yourself. Self-judgement will convince you, you’re disloyal. The opinions of others will play tricks on your mind and tell you lies of unworthiness. So, cross the bridge…

A “piece” is defined as a portion of something, produced by cutting, tearing, or breaking away from the whole. Ironically though, we cannot become whole by hiding or denying any of the pieces of ourselves, regardless of what they might look, feel, or sound like. Have you made peace with all of the pieces of you? It can sometimes feel scary and downright intimidating. You may not even know how or where to begin and that’s okay. Just breathe. I’m here to remind you…you’re never alone.

What do you see looking back at you when you stand in front of the mirror and look deeply at your reflection? Do you see all of your beautiful pieces that others celebrate and admire about you? …or do you see all of the imperfections, labels, and judgements you and others assigned to you so many years ago?

Where do you fit? …or do you? Have you found your place in this life and in this world that feels good to you? Where is the place you feel most at home? Do you have one? Where do you feel safe and supported? I’m here to tell you that there will always be room for you here.
