No Rescue Is Coming.

I know how that reads. Cold, potentially harsh, or judgmental. I promise you it's not. This is not a "toughen-up" post...it's the total opposite. ❤️

When I say no rescue is coming, I do not mean you don't have friends or people who care about you and will help when they are able. Of course you do! I would bet you'd be shocked at how many people quietly love and care about you, that you may not even be aware of.

What I mean is this: in life's brutal times (at least in my experience, across about five life-altering moments...so far 🙃 ha!)... The rescue you may be seeking...

It is already there.

It's the one looking back at you in the mirror.

I really hope this comes across the way I intend it to. Whoever is reading this. You are already the one with the inner strength. Almost certainly so much more of it than you may realize. I encourage you to fully trust in yourself. You are beyond worthy of that.

If I didn't care, I would not post this. I'm sharing it because the rescue is already within yourself.

You've always had it.

On Fearlessness, Courage, & Bravery

I keep coming back to this idea of "fearlessness". And I'm not sure it actually exists. At least my guess would be not for ninety-nine point nine percent of the population. I am often scared. I would guess... just a guess... that someone who is truly,

Already Free, Now Extra Free: Pause & Breathe, Ember, and Cancer Self Care

A week ago I posted about why I built Pause & Breathe. There was a parenthetical in it I really disliked, but it had to be there to be true: "No way to even purchase the app (there is a gratitude tip section. The app NEVER nudges you towards

Happy Hanuman Jayanti

A small-ish but important post for me today. Carefully written because I am not an expert and still learning here (story of my life, ha!). Hanuman Jayanti falls on different days across India's regions, which I learned only this week. In the north, it was observed last month.
