And How Breaking the Cycle Makes Us the Shelter We Once Prayed For I used to think I was just unlucky in love… or maybe just too angry to settle down.I told myself my past — the abuse, the chaos, the betrayal — was just something I was mad about and trying to outrun.But the…
Some wounds don’t leave bruises. They leave patterns. Patterns that teach us to tiptoe, to question ourselves, to apologize for existing, to carry guilt that was never ours to begin with. For those of us who were raised in emotional chaos, where affection was conditional and love was laced with manipulation, we learned early on…
I shared something deeply vulnerable this week — my granddaughter’s new condition. A message no Nana ever wants to send.

When truth touches a tender place, it can feel more like an attack than an invitation. But what if it isn’t the words, but the wounds we’ve left unhealed? But what if it’s not the words, but the wounds we haven’t healed? This reflection gently explores how emotional triggers can distort truth and disrupt relationships,…
