They gave their today for our tomorrow.

May we honour them not just in silence, but in kindness, compassion, and care for one another.

For many veterans and soldiers; the hardest battles begin after coming home.

PTSD and trauma don’t always look like what we imagine — sometimes it’s sleepless nights, irritability, guilt, or feeling disconnected from loved ones. These are not signs of weakness; they’re signs of a nervous system that’s experienced too much.

Healing takes time — and help.
You are not alone.
You are not broken.
You deserve peace after service.

Courage isn’t just in what you’ve done — it’s also in your willingness to heal and being vulnerable again.

If you’re in a hard season right now — just surviving is enough.

You don’t have to “make the most of it.”
You don’t have to turn it into a lesson.
You don’t have to stay positive all the time.

Sometimes surviving means:
Doing the bare minimum.
Saying no more often.
Eating simple meals.
Resting instead of pushing through.

This isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom.
Your nervous system isn’t broken; it’s doing its best to protect you.

Try this gentle reminder today:

“I can soften my expectations without losing my strength.”

Take one step.
That’s still progress. 💛

Therapy is not easy...

Its hard to sit with a stranger and talk about difficult things and be vulnerable.

Is it hard? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes!

Sometimes the situation doesn’t change — but the story you tell yourself about it can.

That’s the power of reframing. 💭

Instead of thinking:

“I can’t handle this.”
Try:
“This is hard, and I’m learning how to handle hard things.”

Instead of:

“My child never listens.”
Try:
“My child is communicating a need in the only way they know how right now.”

Reframing isn’t toxic positivity. It’s not pretending things are fine.
It’s about finding a more balanced, compassionate lens — one that helps you respond instead of react.

When your thoughts start spiraling, pause and ask:
🧠 “Is there another way to look at this?”
💛 “What would I say to a friend in my shoes?”

Sometimes one small shift in language can open a big door to peace.

✨ You can’t always control what happens — but you can shape the meaning you give it.

I talk a lot about boundaries but this is how I actually picture it in my head

Each of us are in our own castle and we control who we lower the draw bridge for and who we do not; for what behaviours we welcome and which we keep out.

If you have no boundaries then the bridge is always down welcoming everyone into your castle (aka your life).

When you have boundaries; you raise and lower it for who you want and how you want. Sometimes the bridge is half down waiting to see whether you need to lower it and invite people in or raise it and keep them on the other side of the moat.

I first started journaling when I moved away for Grad school to Grand Forks - it helped me process my emotions and life while being away from my support system.

Journaling is something I continue to do today; I love a pretty journal! It grounds me and helps me process my feelings and the curve balls life throws and also document my wins.

I recently started giving myself some prompts to try and I am going to share three that are thought provoking to try out. If you like it, great - if not, thats cool too!

1) What am I ACTUALLY feeling? The unedited, unfiltered version of my inner most feelings

2) What is draining me?

3) What have I been forcing myself to do?

🍂 October is about letting go.

Just like the leaves, you’re allowed to release what no longer serves you.

✨ Let go of the pressure to be perfect.
✨ Let go of old stories that keep you stuck.
✨ Let go of saying “yes” when you mean “no.”

Take a breath, slow down, and remember—growth happens in the letting go. 🧡
