Mindful Shifts
In this section you will find content supporting ways to let go of old negative thoughts and beliefs, healthy practices and exercises, and inspirational content to assist in the healing process.
During my transformation, I needed to put aside the beliefs I had about myself and my past in order to heal. I reminded myself to keep an open mind about what I was learning. It was necessary for me to break free of the negative thinking and change my perspective of my life. It was that open mind that helped me change my default behaviors of the previous decades and allowed me to move forward to find love for myself and those around me.
I hope these life lessons, or Mindful Shifts as I call them, help you the way they helped me and continue to do so.

Give Yourself a Hug
Hugs are freakin' awesome! But have you ever hugged yourself? It feels just as good.
Healing Takes Time
As a survivor of any kind of trauma, it impacts you for a lifetime. Child abuse, domestic partner violence, physical, sexual, emotional, abandonment, financial.
We Deserve It!
At first glance, the baby Kermit meme is funny and we can all relate to it. But if you think about it, there's a lot of guilt behind that statement.
Resilient or Resistent?
There are many times we think we are pushing forward to reach a goal and doing all the right things. But somehow, nothing we try gets us to that goal.
