It’s too bad that at a very early age we aren’t assigned a “mentor” or a “life coach”.

Someone other than a family member or a coach or a friend but an actual PERSON that helps you navigate through LIFE.

Some people will pause right here and tell you that it’s God or Jesus or a temple that helps you navigate THROUGH LIFE. It’s really a bonus when these people see us through different phases, stages, ups and downs and ALSO knows our baseline.

….FYI…..I am not about to go there with religion,

BUT this IS where I AM going to take you on this post;

the path and journey of being

It’s a space.

It’s a stillness.

It’s the room your heart and head take up when no one else is there. It’s the chatter that you hear.

The truths.

The lies.

AND The tricks your MIND plays that we are not equipped to handle on our own because we haven’t had the practice of navigating it ALONE.

As a parent we are often quick to “FIX”.

We offer or give solutions and sometimes we don’t let the little humans sit with IT (the feeling) for enough time to really feel what it is and to allow themselves time to think for themselves which way to go next with it.

We intervene oftentimes very quickly and offer up solutions sometimes minimizing the authenticity and the reality of what is really happening in their heart and head.

I grew up in a super loving household but due to the nature and severity of what was happening around me- my reality……my feelings and emotions were shut down, minimized, discounted and I was forced at an early age to

get your shit together.

As I write these blogs, I envision my parents reading them out there in the universe.

I am ok with what they read.

I am also writing these for my children and grandchildren. I want to help them understand and have a better awareness of their heart and mind.

AND IF it helps some others along the way…..

Then I have achieved my purpose in life

You aren’t a bad person or a weak person if you are struggling sometimes or even every day with your heart and head. You actually are alone in your heart and head ….. don’t misconstrue this.

No One else can get inside your heart and head but trust me there is a reason for your current heart and head condition and I am here to honor it. To help you honor it. To acknowledge it IN YOU and then find ways to help your heart and head.

Are you alone? Are you with me on this?
