Learning About Self-Value

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

Those who truly value you won’t diminish your energy.

They won’t take from you without giving back.

They won’t argue with you when you set your prices for things you are selling, or art you are working on building a business around.

They won’t try to give you less than what you say you are setting as your worth.

Those who are truly here to support you and want to see you succeed will meet you where you are at, while helping you step up to your next level.

They will do this by helping you see how worthy you are of the successes you desire.

They will want to help you achieve your goals.

Even if that means by stepping away from you when they know your time together is no longer aligned.

Those who are here for your highest good will never put you down.

They will never make you question whether or not they are truly good people for your life.

So often we can be in situations where we find ourselves overwhelmed by frustration, because we have surrounded ourselves with a few people who we constantly question, “Are they really a good friend? Would a good friend make me that uncomfortable? If they are my friend, why do I feel so uneasy around them and why do they make me feel unsafe?”

Life is constantly showing us so much about who we are and putting us in situations of questioning ourselves and those around us.

This all for our personal growth.

Learn what you see to be valuable to you, around your peace.

Who is truly your friend?

Who is wearing a mask?

Who is only next to you because they enjoy what they gain from being in your energy field?

You can hold space for your own happiness and feelings of peace.

You don’t need to be around those who put you down or take from you without giving back.

You are deserving of peace.

Remember that you are loved.

You are important.

You Can’t Force What Is Not Meant To Be

Posted on July 19, 2025July 20, 2025 by Healing Creations PNW

Nature has a way of guiding us.

Teaching us to let things be.

We can’t force anything that’s not meant to be.

Man has a way of wanting to control.

Nature shows us that we must let go of control.

There is a process of how things are.

No matter what you do, if it is not for you, it will not work.

You can try to push it.

You can try to pull it along.

But how far do you need to go, forcing what is not meant to be to try and fit where it doesn’t belong?

–

We all go through changes.

This is life.

Part of being human is continuous evolution.

We don’t stay the same.

So when we try to stay all and continue to do the same routines that are no longer fit for us, it’s going to become uncomfortable.

Just like wearing clothes we have grown out of.

Or working at a job that we are over qualified for, because we have taken classes to move beyond that position.

When it’s time to move on, we will feel it.

And if we continue to try to wear those clothes, or stay in that job that no longer fits us, there will be big signs that force us to move on.

Have you ever worn pants that spit up the… backside? – I have…. Not fun!

If you’re feeling pushed to move on, listen.

If you are feeling the need to find a new place in life, go for it.

We can’t stay small if we have grown bigger.

We can’t expect to fit into places that we have been working so hard to move away from.

So go.

Get out there.

Make room for your new growth.

Re-pot, re-pant, re-job, or re-locate yourself.

There is no better way to feel more comfortable than to listen to that energy and MOVE ON!

Your growth deserves energy to move.

Your new life is waiting for you.

A quick edit, but I will be doing more work on this image to prepare it for printing.

I am looking forward to adding more of these beautiful images to my online shop on my website, and will be getting some up at local shops.

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

The Sound of the Storm

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

The Sound of The Storm

On the harder days, I remember this day.

It reminds me of what I have gotten through.

Feeling the storms of my emotions, while getting my picture taken, not knowing what would come after.

Already working on dealing with so much trauma, and trying to survive, trying to keep my kids safe, though, it felt like there was danger coming.

Feelings erupting inside of me.

Feeling in a place of uncertainty, just as we tend to be, when in the middle of a storm.

After this shoot, I went for my daily walk and found my daughter was missing.

She was not where she was supposed to be, and when she knew I knew, she made it so I couldn’t call or text her.

It was a long weekend, trying to find her and get her home.

These are not stories I typically share on here, due to not wanting to over share, but sometimes I just need to release, for the healing, and to maybe help someone else.

Twenty six hours of not knowing where my daughter was, or if she would come home.

Twenty six hours of being in panic for her life and her wellbeing.

She finally returned home, and she was safe.

One more scar on my heart.

One more memory to remember how much I love her.

One more reason to show her more sensitivity and compassion.

This shoot really ended up representing more than Marina Shipova or I could have even imagined.

Life is always full of uncertainty.

We just have to muster the courage to keep going.

One step at a time.

One day at a time.

One moment at a time.
