I hold an inner child who has become a girl, a woman and a mother, shaped by the stories I have lived and the questions I am not afraid to ask myself. I have learnt to value honesty, not with the world, but honesty I can give myself. I seek quiet moments of reflection and the courage to grow, no matter how uncertain or difficult the endeavour may be. My sense of self is not fixed, as it moves with experience, conversation, self-understanding and self-compassion.

I value forgiveness, laughter, love and pain. I live by a simple affirmation created at the beginning of my self-awareness journey: The consequences of misery is greater than the misery itself. Sitting, feeling and working through misery is a journey that bears more growth than that of the consequences of a reactive heart.

I care about healing and its meaning to those who seek it. I care about what I do, how I treat others and what kind of presence I bring into a room. The version of me now is not the version of the past, but I am also not finished yet. I am learning to hold my flaws with kindness and celebrate my strengths. I will never stop asking, 'What season am I in, and what clothes do I need to travel through the season?' There is no such thing as bad weather; it is bad clothes. Winter exists for the same reason pain does. It is about the tools (the clothes) that provide relief. 

The blog is based on my own understandings and learnings. It serves as a reference for you to do more exploring for yourself. 

Self reflection exercise

What are my guiding principles in life, and do I see them reflected in my daily life?

What emotion do I feel strongly today, and do I understand why?

How would I describe myself?

If I could change things in my life what would they be and why?
