So I spent the weekend reading through old journals. Some dating back to freshman year of high school, but mostly ones from college. These are ones I’ve never read through before, so I’m reading words I barely even remember writing. Some were actually crazy enlightening – they were from a dark period – my attack, […]
The importance of routine
I’ve been hella inspired by Sarajane Case on Instagram lately. This woman knows how to show up and get it done! Something she does in her Instagram stories is a “Day in the Life” where she’ll document her daily routine. I’m not quite sure why things like this fascinate me so much. I guess there’s […]
I’m so angry.
I’m so angry. I thought I’ve been pretty angry before, especially over the last decade. But this anger – it takes the cake. I am so angry that people are so unwilling to take responsibility for their actions. I am so angry that people want to give a blanket statement of “I’m sorry,” and expect […]
Grieving the me I used to be
If you’ve ever been in therapy, you know that you get asked “how does that make you feel?” and “where do you feel that in your body?” sorts of questions a lot. Something I love about therapy is simply being able to acknowledge and name the feelings that I’m feeling so that I can work […]
Raising Spirit-Minded Kids
As Cohen gets older and starts becoming his own sentient being, I feel like it’s go-time in regard to parenting and helping him become a spirit-minded kid. We’ve recently returned to attending church regularly, so even though right now he just plays in the nursery most of the time, he’ll soon be in Sunday School […]
Harsh Divinity
I’ve been in therapy basically every week since the first of the year. It’s been a really rough several months, and I needed to take the time to consciously process all that’s happened. Old wounds were brought up right before Christmas which led to some discord among the family and disconnection. (I didn’t go home […]
Have you remembered it yet?
Lately, I’ve been journaling and meditating a lot on trying to define myself – to express the truth that my soul is telling me about who I am (who we all are, really). (Remember that 6-post long “Who Am I?” series? Yeah, still processing all that.) I grew up with the worldview that I was […]
Embrace your Divine nature
We are divine. There’s no doubt about it. We are made of star stuff and here to make manifest the glory of God (to paraphrase Carl Sagan and Marianne Williamson). This is another point of contention that I had with the Christian faith and a reason why I felt the need to leave the church. […]
Re-Introduction
Happy Thursday and welcome to Soliloquy of the Soul! I wanted to take some time today to sort of re-introduce myself on my blog and social media. My goal for 2019 is to write more, so I thought my blog and social media spaces needed a jump start and re-introduction of who I am, why […]
Soliloquy 7-5-15: THE Soliloquy
I guess I should give a little background about why we’re where we are in life and why I may have this obsessive need to prove myself and let those around me know that I’m ok, that I’m living a good life and being blessed because of it. Where do I even begin?? It’s such […]
