There's No Destination Called Healed
Just gather your tools
Hey Family:
If you are like me, it’s easy to turn your healing journey into another thing on the to-do list to check off. And yes, I’m a proponent of scheduling self-care and having a daily practice. But healing? Ooowee, healing moves at its own pace, y’all.
Some days, I feel like I’m regressing. Maybe I was triggered or maybe that nasty critic has camped out in my head. I’ve come to realize the importance of shifting my perspective in those moments. I can’t approach this journey as if I will get to some arbitrary point where I’m never confronted with my “stuff.” No, healing simply means I have the TOOLS to deal with whatever shows up. I’m on a mission to gather as many tools and resources as I need in the various seasons of my life in order to live free, with joy, and as the worthy child of God I am.
Sooo…let’s crowdsource. What tools have been important to you on your healing journey?
Love y’all,

Something to Sit With
“Healing is an art. It takes time, it takes practice. It takes love.”
- Maza Dohta
My faaaaaaavorite tool is my journal. I always have a journal with blank pages for me to pour my soul onto. I've been journaling my pain and my junk, my hopes and my joys, my prayers and my questions for a long time. Anyone who is starting on any deepening of self-awareness or healing-focused journey the first thing I'm gonna ask is if they have a journal!
