A place where healing and creativity meet. Just as the mountains meet the sea, in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Live simply. Love deeply. Be present.
It’s time.
Move on.
Let go.
Be free.
It’s nothing new…
You loved for a minute.
You dreamed for a moment.
It’s time.
Move on.
Be free.
Let go.
It’s nothing new…
You can dream for a thousand moments,
You can love for so many more minutes,
With someone that never goes away…
That someone…
Is you.
– M.
Process through the pain.
Feel each new growth as it changes you and your surroundings.
It is not going to be without discomfort.
You are growing, learning, and are yearning to become who you were meant to be.
Looking back, looking forward, staying present, it’s all okay.
Regret, forgiveness, understanding that each experience was for a reason.
For growth.
This process is not easy.
Forgiveness heals.
Forgiving others helps you also forgive yourself.
Letting go of attachments to feelings or emotions, pains or expectations, allows you to find peace.
Allowing peace helps you achieve more understanding of this life and the process of it all.
Don’t hold onto anger, judgement or fear.
Let go.
Release.
Be free of it so you can have peace.
You are worthy of peace.
You are allowed to feel good.
You will keep growing, no matter what.
It might not always feel good, but it will be okay.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are healing.

For so long, I had hoped to find someone…
Someone to lean on,
Someone to talk to,
Someone to love…
For so long I thought that would be the answer, to get out of these storms, out of the depths of this open water.
Finally I learned…
It was never going to be someone…
It was never going to be a person…
It was just always going to be me…
For so long I had felt lost…
For so long, I thought I needed to be found…
Finally, I found myself.
Yet, I still linger, in this deep ocean, but no longer searching.
No longer lost.
No longer waiting fo someone to rescue me.
No longer waiting for someone to love me or to laugh with me.
I can laugh with myself.
I can love myself.
I am found.
I found me.
-M.
I took a little walk on my own for a while.
When I turned around to get back to you, you were already gone.
You held my heart for me.
I didn’t know you’d be gone when I realized why you held it so tightly.
You had my heart long ago.
Now it’s gone, with you, not sure if or when I’ll ever see either of you again.
Until then, I’ll go on, and I’ll seek out no one, for all I need is me.
I’ve learned that, now I can see I can grow a new heart.
I’ll be fine, I am good, better off, now that you’re gone.
– M.
If we wander, may it be for the chance to grow.
If we get lost, may it be for the chance to discover.
If we fall, may it be for the chance to pick ourselves back up.

Do you ever feel like you are being squished by all the pressures of this natural world?
Life.
Circumstances.
Insecurities.
Uncertainties.
Expectations.
Obligations.
So much weight, so many things pushing on you, sometimes it feels like its coming from all sides.
One day you feel good and fine, then the next day you feel this overwhelming sense of sadness.
Overwhelming pressure.
A deep longing to let go, but you don’t quite know how.
You feel a loss of the ability to hold it all together, and you just want to let go and let it all crumble and fall away.
But you don’t.
You feel the emotions, and understand the pressure and remember what you are doing it for.
You remember who you are here to support and teach.
You look around and see how far you’ve come.
You see all of those who are doing their best to encourage you, because they believe in you.
You remember where you want to go.
Still, the tears flow.
The emotions sit, like a deep weight, a heavy rock in your gut.
You don’t know when you will get to where you want to be.
You feel stuck.
You feel lost.
Growth is full of pain.
Healing hurts.
Life is full of pressure.
Life is full of pain.
Don’t let it hold you down.
Don’t let it take control.
Expectations, interpretations of experiences, so many obligations…
People, places, finances, politics…
So many things taking over your mind and flooding into your peaceful space.
They are not as important as your mental health and well-being.
You are important.
Remember why you are here and see that pressure as nothing more than an interpretation of expectations that are not requirements.
The only thing that is required is that you are okay.
If you don’t feel okay for a little while, or even for a day or so, its okay.
It will pass.
This is temporary.
You are an eternal being, you are a beautiful soul, full of endless possibilities and gifts to explore, in this natural world.
Stand up, shake it off, dance a little and smile.
You are still here to fulfill your destiny.
You are still here to shine your beautiful light.
Your strength will continue to grow and you will continue to heal.
Enjoy your journey.
Not every day will be easy.
Not every road will feel like the right one.
Sometimes you’ll feel alone and sad, and confused, but that is okay.
You will continue to get through each new pain.
You will see rain, rainbows, sunrises, sunsets, and many, many storms in between.
Feel it all.
Experience it all.
All of it is necessary.
You will grow to appreciate each experience, for they are each important.
Pressure comes from expections.
There are no expectations worthy of losing your peace over.
Let go and let it flow.
Be still.
Run fast.
Whatever you need to do.
Most of all, give thanks for this life.
Gratitude heals and the more you give thanks, the more you see how much there is to be grateful for.
Remember that you are a gift.
Thank you for being here and for choosing to stay and continue on your journey.
May you always find your way back to your center.
Let go, and find your peaceful place.
You are worthwhile.
-M.
I promise to always be my best friend, for too long I have been my worst enemy.
I promise to stop thinking of myself as not enough, or too much, I am enough.
I promise to always allow laughter and joy, for a life lived too seriously is not an enjoyable life.
From now until my last breath, I promise to always share kindness instead of gossip.
If I ever forget any of these, may I quickly remember them, because without these promises, life just isn’t quite as good.
-M.
Don’t stay.
You can survive on your own.
You don’t need him.
You are capable without her.
If he puts you down, walk away.
If she hurts you again, shut that door.
Walk away.
Don’t stay.
Get out of town.
Do whatever you need to do, to be okay.
Do it for him.
Do it for her.
Most of all, do it for you.
Don’t stay.
-M.
You cover me with so much love.
You have helped me feel safe.
Making sure there is a balance so I can still feel independent and gain more self-confidence, in my own space.
Yet, however you can, you protect me.
You keep me covered and safe through all of the storms.
Wherever I go, I know you will be close.
Near or far, you are always there.
Thank you, you have become my safe space.
I didn’t know how much I needed you until I finally found you.
Now here we are, so far, yet closer than ever before.
-M.
