We miss you in the simplest things —

in the way the morning light
falls across the empty chair,

in the silence
after a joke that would have
made you laugh the loudest.

We miss you
in small, ordinary moments —

when the clock ticks too loudly,
when the house feels too still,
when we reach for our phone
without thinking.

It’s not always the big days
that hurt the most.

It’s the quiet ones.

The ones where nothing special happens,
but you should have been there anyway.

We miss you
in a word we almost say out loud,
in a smile that fades
because we remember.

In songs.
In sunsets.
In familiar places
that don’t feel the same.

Sometimes it’s just a memory
flipping open without warning —
like a page in a book
we’ve read a thousand times,
yet still wish we could step back into.

If love could rewind time,
we would relive it all —
every laugh,
every ordinary afternoon,
every goodbye we didn’t know
was the last.

Grief doesn’t shout every day.

Sometimes it just whispers:
“They mattered.”

And you did.

You still do.

In the simplest things.
In the quietest spaces.
In the moments we wish
we could hold
just one more time.

Giver burnout is a very real thing. As a giver myself, I have learned the warning signs of burnout. First, the feeling of dread begins and ends the focus of the day. Next, is hiding away from going out or responding to others. Last, going through the motions of each day on autopilot. Those who are givers require times of solitude, reflection, and physical rest to rejuvenate. Even though helping is second nature, we must learn to protect our peace, energy, and thoughts. Helpers can start to feel guilty for NOT helping others even though they are experiencing burnout. It is important to develop boundaries to protect the inner energy that is needed to help ourselves. The most important question you can ask yourself, "Have I given away all my energy to everyone else and now there is nothing left?" Begin by asking "What do I need right now" and then do it. Remember that you will not be able to help effectively if your cup is dry.

Our energy is a gift that can be given to the world through how we spend our time and attention. So, it is important how we answer the question of who we give our energy too. This requires a constant checking of our energy tank level. If the tank is on empty, we need to pause giving to refill. You can't give from an empty tank and expect to keep going. Besides checking our energy tank levels, it is important to determine who we give the most of our energy. We have all experienced those who NEED us. It is nice to be needed. However, there are a few types of people, we need to be wary of. The first type is the complainer. Nothing every seems to be going well in their world. If something fantastic happens to them, they look for even the slightest negative and focus on that instead of the blessing. We all complain at one time or another, but if negativity becomes constant, energy depletes. It is best that we have boundaries on how much help and energy is given to this type of person. If you are that type of person, now is the time to do some inward reflection on the why of negativity and complaining. Habits are hard to break but not impossible. Life coaching can help you regain energy and start to change the negativity. Facebook message a life coach today.

I got a pocket full of ________. How would you complete this sentence?
A. Sunshine
B. Troubles
C. My past
What we find in our pockets of life says much of what maybe weighing us down. If we carry a pocket full of troubles like bricks filled full, life becomes harder. Then there is the pocket full of our past experience of good or trials. Neither are very heavy if we have dealt with each through reflection and healing. There is still room for sunshine, flowers, and glittery things. Not knowing what is in our pockets stays there collecting lint and dirt. Today is the day to check your pockets of life and the contents it holds.
