Spiritual Awakening
We’ve all been in that thunderstorm whether it was a breakup, a death or some form of traumatic experience. The sort of experience that really makes you step back and reevaluate the path that you’re on, that forces you to do the inner work, that puts that mirror up in front of you so you can truly see who you are. Some of us will lean into that space to view the parts of ourselves that we have been too scared to look at, to ask the questions that we are petrified to hear the answers to and sit with the demons and pain that we have been burying since we were children. Now this experience is not for the faint hearted. This path is one of the most heart breaking, soul crushing experiences that you will ever go through and some of us will dip our toe into those waters and realise just how murky those dark, turbulent waters are. At which point, we remove ourselves from that seat in front of the mirror and run for the hills. The pain of the reflection, the look in those eyes staring back at you with a smudged window showing all the hidden stories to your soul. I have been in both positions. I have dipped my toe into those murky waters many times over the past 10 years and it's only been the past year that I have really sat in that chair with all parts of myself and given each version of me the space to be heard and seen with unconditional love. I have been to hell and back many times in my 40 years, but the past year of my healing journey has been the most heartbreaking and most uplifting era of my life.

The Art Of Being Alone
In today's digitally driven society, where social media reigns supreme and constant connectivity is the norm, the concept of being alone has taken on a new level of significance. While many of us crave human interaction and the sense of belonging that comes with it, there is a growing recognition of the importance of solitude in our lives. The art of being alone, once viewed as a sign of isolation or loneliness, is now being redefined as a vital component of personal growth, creativity, and overall well-being.

Madam Koi Koi of Akanu Ibiam Girl's House. Content Warning.
Madam Koi Koi of Akanu Ibiam Girls' House From the moment I arrived at Akanu Ibiam Girls' House at the age of eleven, I felt an eerie sense of foreboding. The grand gates of the prestigious boarding school closed behind me, sealing my fate. That night, as I lay on the stiff mattress in the dimly lit dormitory, sleep came reluctantly, bringing with it the first of many unsettling dreams.

Surviving Loss: Finding Hope After Tragedy
Thanksgiving morning in 2019 dawned with an unexpected, piercing sorrow. I lost a friend to suicide. The night before, our texts had bounced back and forth. He had things on his mind, but it wasn’t a heavy dialogue. I reassured him that life’s burdens would ease, and we made plans to talk on Sunday, hoping to laugh and lighten the mood. It’s a bitter reality to accept that he made other plans.

Ways to Regain Authority in Your Life
We should discuss dopamine. Individuals call it the synthetic of need and want, yet why would that be? Indeed, this is the secret. From a developmental outlook, your mind rewards you for anything that will improve your probability of endurance by delivering a synapse called "dopamine" in your mind.

Monday Night Raw
The last twenty-four to forty-eight hours have been tumultuous at best, but first some background to set the stage.... I recently accepted a fabulous job that requires a cross country relocation and I couldn't be more excited. Cross country relocation comes with all kinds of challenges: emotional, financial, mental, and sometimes even physical. The journey to date has been rife with all of those challenges in varying degrees, but not to the extent that it has over the last couple of days.

Distance
We were close until that fateful day came, and our dark lives tore us away. We lived through untold traumas, and shared the pain and the love in a friendship that was rare; but here we are now, thirty years later and all you can do is talk to me, like I'm a stranger.
