Intention & Truth

On November 29, 2018November 29, 2018 By EmmaIn Healing, November 2018 Writing Challenge, What's here now1 Comment

What is TRUE for me right now? I am grateful and in awe. I feel humble. Blessed. Powerful. Tuned in. I am amazed by life. It is a truly collaborative effort between me, and the force that brings all of my life to me. When I put intention into my life, my life changes. And …

Multitasking. We are all so used to doing it now, that I wonder if we forget what it is, and if it has settled into the collective blind spot.... Just a habit at this point, and one that we are training ourselves deeper into every day when we skip around on the Internet, or watch …

A thought about touch

On November 24, 2018 By EmmaIn November 2018 Writing Challenge, Pages from my journalLeave a comment

I've loved being around cats lately. I love touching animals who are receptive to touch. It opens up the part of me that wants to give affectionate touch. It opens me up to my ability to communicate through touch. This is a dimension I'd like to see expand in my life experience. Touch is healing. …
