Life Gets Lifey is a new phrase that has deeply resonated with me these past few months. Our apartment flooded: life gets lifey. Ran over some cones and destroyed the undercarriage of my car: life gets lifey. Even without these incidents, the stress of everyday life is noticeable. It's like a droplet from a faucet that keeps me awake at night. Yet, the drop of water can build up to a river and an ocean with time if ignored. So too can stress, life create grooves and channels where it was once a clear path. Sleepless nights, not eating right, not taking care of the body and mind, waking up at 3 am all build up over time.
Life Gets Lifey accepts stress, like a water droplet. By embracing it, we gain more power than ignoring or denying it.
My goal is to spark curiosity in daily life and our inner workings. I aim to enhance our ability to live intentionally, informed, and without avoiding life's challenges. We need to at times… but can we be in it in a way that has more agency, more intention? These are the questions and the intention of creating this space.
I am a trained psychotherapist specialized on the effects of childhood trauma, I am a certified forest bathing facilitator, an immigrant to this country, a writer, a poet, mother of two teenage boys, a lover of poetry, pickle ball, the woods, nature, solo walks and walks well accompanied. I am a firm believer that wherever you are if the sky is dark enough you need to stop whatever you are are doing and position yourself to capture the sky, the heavens as often, as long as you possibly can. I bring all this into this space in an amalgam that has yet to be formed so I ask for your kindness and your grace as this takes shape for me too.
