Just a little essay on how when we force ourselves to change and grow is when we stop ourselves from changing. How do we embrace change with less fear and more grace?

How can we re-write the stories of ourselves by looking into our own selves rather than frantically searching for something outside of us?
The Sound My Body Makes
Just a little poem.

Leaving Space
A poem about mostly nothing, but also the small things. Where we need to listen harder, and speak more softly.
Finding Your Right Fit
It's so easy for us to see when we are using the wrong board.

Moving (Toward) Home
Movement and moving, stillness and chaos-the metaphor can be too simple, but life also can be too.
