Hidden Wings

Posted on October 30, 2025 by Healing Creations PNW

Her strength was hidden by her fears.

A cloak that covered her great powers, making her seem weak.

Her focus was always directed on the future, yet the darknesses of the past continued to try and drown her, it tried to sink her, dragging her deep below the surface of the present moment she so longed to see.

A light was bright within her, guiding her, and others.

Yet, she never saw this light, though she was told about it by many.

The storms that chased her kept her focused on the fears that she was determined to conquer.

What she saw was darkness, fear and worry.

Doubts plagued her thoughts, poisoning her mind like chains, dragging her down.

The depth of her seas took her under, yet she always found ways to swim back up to the surface to breathe.

Yet, not for long.

Storms constantly took her under, so she learned to breathe underwater.

She found her strength within the depths, finding peace in her solace, she found her ground to stand on, deep within the storm under the sea that surrounded her, on sands at the bottom of the ocean.

In the deep depths of the sea, she found her way, she finally saw the light that others had been guided by whenever she was near.

On a day that seemed ordinary, she found she had wings.

Learning how to swim with them under water, she wondered if they could also take her above the surface.

She kicked off from the sands on the bottom of the ocean floor.

Pushing through the cold waters, she emerged, flying above the sea, into the clouds above.

She realized she could also fly.

Your Presence Matters

Posted on September 26, 2025 by Healing Creations PNW

Sometimes life leaves us in a place of wonder…

Wondering what all these challenges are showing us.

Wondering what our purpose is.

Wondering what this life is leading us towards.

Some may say we are taking a journey.

Some may say we are here to have fun.

Others might say we are just working our way towards death.

Yet, some may see there is deeper meaning.

All in all, we must take each day as it comes.

Some days have great highs and some are just as plain as oatmeal without all the excitement some sweeteners or fruit may give it.

Each one matters.

Each one brings us closer to a certain goal.

We all have a destiny that may not be seen just yet.

We each have a particular purpose, just like each grain of sand that hold up each foot step for all the life that walks across the beach.

Remember this, on those days you feel less than great, you have purpose.

You matter.

Thank you for being here, and being a support for someone’s footsteps, no matter how big or small, your presence helps.

Sit with Yourself

Posted on July 1, 2025July 20, 2025 by Healing Creations PNW

Sit with yourself.

Let the fears and worries swim around you.

Then let the universe show you that there is nothing to worry about.

There is nothing to fear.

Sit with yourself.

Remember who you are.

Remember why you are here

Sit with yourself.

Relish in the silence.

Appreciate the nature that surrounds you.

Sit with yourself.

Lean in.

Listen to the whispers of your heart.

What are they saying…

Sit with yourself.

Be alone.

Walk quietly.

Let the thoughts trickle away.

Be still.

Be silent.

Breathe.

You are safe.

Love yourself.

You are enough

Crossroads

Posted on June 30, 2025July 20, 2025 by Healing Creations PNW

We can chase and chase who and what we think is right for us, but we won’t ever make it there…

And it will never work.

What is right for you won’t require chasing.

What is right for you won’t require anything other than allowing.

Make it a priority to be there for yourself.

Whatever is meant for you will show up.

It won’t require you to follow a path that takes you into dark, unpaved forests.

It will show you light, just as you show up with your own light.

And when you find those people and those things in life that are meant for you,

You won’t have to wonder if they are right for you.

It will feel right.

The motions won’t feel forced,

They will feel natural.

The give and take will be balanced, naturally,

Just as the waters of the ocean are absorbed into the clouds and then rain back down to shower the earth.

You won’t have to wonder if you’re doing the right thing,

You won’t wonder if you’re supposed to feel so alone and lost in those places or with those people you chased…

You will feel balanced.

There are moments in life when we are left wondering…

Is this job right for me?

Is this friendship right for me?

Is this partner right for me?

Is this life what I want?

We are always going to meet a crossroads, with all things in life.

We must look and see what our feelers are telling us.

Is my happiness to the right?

Is it to the left?

Did I lose it somewhere on that road behind me?

Happiness is peace.

No matter which road you choose,

Happiness will always be something that you must learn to obtain on your own, from within.

Outside circumstances can show us what is aligned with us, but we ultimately choose our own happiness.

Sometimes what’s on the outside, in those surrounding areas, with people or without, is what shows us the way to the destination we feel will be most peaceful and fulfilling.

A crossroads is always a great start to a new journey.

Though, it’s not about which road to go down, each road will have challenges.

It’s about which challenges you feel you are able to take on.

Who’s your Friend

Posted on January 31, 2025 by Healing Creations PNW

Walking into life with new perspectives…

Sometimes we wonder why we are unhappy with ourselves.

So we look back over the years to see what’s created this.

We see our friendships and relationships, or the choices we have made.

We start looking over how some people have treated us, and how we have allowed a lot of unkindness to step over the doorstep of our soul’s experience, and right into our circle of peace.

People will show you who they are.

They will literally tell you.

Sometimes in words, but other times with their actions.

It can takes years to really see who they really were.

It can also take years to see your own self.

Learning to have more kind friendships takes a lot of self-love.

It takes determination and commitment to self.

Learning that you deserve to be around people who lift you up, rather than put you down, seems like it is common sense.

Yet, sometimes we don’t realize these people are putting us down, until we take time away from everyone so we can look back and process over it all.

Looking over what people have said to us, how we feel when we are around them, and the choices we make when we are with them, are all key signs to pay attention to.

Having been through many layers of my own healing, I am really starting to learn how I FEEL matters.

Listening to my body, to my energy, to my spirit with so many different aspects of life, is beginning to make more and more sense for so many different reasons.

How do you feel when you are alone?

How do you feel in nature?

How do you feel around certain people?

Listen.

Pay attention.

It is all communicating with you.

Aging

Posted on January 28, 2025January 28, 2025 by Healing Creations PNW

Her face is changing.

Her skin is different.

Her body is not quite the same as it once was.

She doesn’t know how she feels about it.

Weeks go by and her skin is looser.

Months go by and her smile is changed.

Remembering back to when she was younger and thinking, “if only I could have valued myself more, if only I could have treated myself better.”

Time goes on with each click of the second hand.

The sun sets and rises, and she continues to find her way.

Still learning, still growing, yet now looking a little different and feeling a bit more further away from who she once was, yet still always the same.
