  • Grief: The Struggle to Accept Loss

    Loss doesn’t always mean the death of a loved one—it can also be the loss of a relationship, community, home, health, or even a version of your past life.

    Different Forms of Loss

    • Loss of a loved one: The deep pain of saying goodbye to someone who has passed.
    • Loss of a relationship: Friendships, marriages, or bonds that dissolve, leaving a void.
    • Loss of a pet: Our pets walk with us through seasons of life, and their passing can be just as heavy as losing a family member.
    • Loss of community: Moving away or watching a familiar place change in ways you aren’t ready for.
    • Loss of home: This could mean losing a family home, or tragedy striking through fire, storm, or other unexpected events.
    • Loss of lifestyle: When life transitions—career shifts, health changes, or personal growth—you may grieve the “old you” and the connections that once felt secure.

    Grieving is not wrong—but if we’re not careful, we can get stuck.

    My Story of Grief

    In 2010, I lost my baby. He lived less than 30 minutes after birth. For the next 10 years, I carried guilt and sadness that shaped my choices. I “partied” to hide my pain, but joy felt like something I didn’t deserve. Even when I smiled, my thoughts returned to what if and why not me.

    Grief held me hostage until I learned that healing didn’t mean forgetting—it meant finding peace while honoring my love for him.

    Witnessing Grief in Others

    I know someone who has been grieving their health. At a young age, he became a dialysis patient. For years he resisted acceptance, living as though nothing had changed., which resulted in constant stays at the hospital. Later, grief transformed into quietness—perhaps acceptance, perhaps exhaustion. Watching him reminds me that grief is not always loud; sometimes it is silent.

    Understanding Grief

    Your grief will not look like mine, and mine will not look like yours. Grief is not packaged the same way for everyone.

    Many people suffer silently, unsure how to name what they feel or how to move forward. Some believe grief is just “something to get over.” But grief is more than pain—it is love and attachment to what once was.

    A Gentle Reminder

    • Be kind to yourself.
    • Lean on your support system or seek therapy.
    • Remember: you are not weak for grieving.
    • Discover tools that help when it feels overwhelming—journaling, meditation, or energy practices.
    • Honor your memories, but also give yourself permission to grow.

    Grief is powerful. Left unchecked, it can lead to hopelessness, anger, or disconnection. But when we meet it with compassion, grief can also become a teacher—guiding us toward transformation.

    ✨ If you are grieving, please know: you are not alone.

  • RELEASE: The Power to Let Go

    Today is a great day to release!

    What are you letting go of today? Stress, worry, a bad relationship, unhealthy habits? Has it been long overdue?

    As we step into the Fall season—a season of transformation—we can take inspiration from nature. The leaves change color and fall, reminding us that letting go is part of growth. Science even explains that as the wind blows, it weakens the leaf’s connection to the branch, and the leaf falls away. Through that release, the tree conserves energy and prepares for renewal.

    In the same way, release allows us to grow. Let go of what no longer serves you—the people, thoughts, or habits that weigh you down and prevent you from moving forward. A shift in mindset is essential if we want to level up in life. Releasing is not just about letting go—it’s about finding peace.

    Why is this so important? Because when we don’t release, the same patterns repeat: unhealthy relationships, health issues, constant procrastination, arguments, or unachieved goals. Sometimes it’s as simple as holding on to habits we know aren’t helping. Deep down, you already know what it’s time to release.

    Be courageous enough to acknowledge it—and let it go.

    Ways to Release

    Here are some practices you can try to support your release journey:

    • Journal:
      Write down your feelings, thoughts, and what you want to release. Personally, I like to write it down, then take it outside and burn the paper—it’s symbolic and freeing.
    • Spend time in nature:
      Go for a walk, sit quietly under the trees, or be near water. Nature has a way of soothing us and helping us breathe more deeply.
    • Move your body:
      Dance in your living room, hit the gym, or try yoga. Physical movement helps release built-up energy and leaves you feeling refreshed.
    • Scream it out:
      Sometimes nothing works better than letting out a loud scream in a safe space. It’s simple, but it can release so much tension.
    • Break it (safely!):
      If you need something physical, look into a local Rage Room. These are designed spaces where you can safely break items as a form of stress relief. If you try this, be sure to wear protective gear like goggles.

    These are just a few options I’ve tried—or considered. The key is to find what works for you. Whatever method you choose, let it help you release the old so you can move forward refreshed, open, and ready for something new.

  • Are You Feeling It Too? Protecting Your Peace in Unsettled Times

    How are you showing up for yourself during this incredibly complex time we’re living in?

    Between politics, economics, and the shifting dynamics of everyday life, many of us are navigating unfamiliar emotional territory. For some, anxiety and depression is new. For others, old wounds have resurfaced due to pressure. Maybe you’ve never struggled before—and now find yourself asking, “What’s happening to me?”

    You’re not alone. I’ve noticed it too.

    When I step out into the world, there’s a heaviness in the air. People seem tense, distant, sometimes even numb. It’s like many are walking in tunnel vision, avoiding eye contact or connection just to make it through the day.

    The kindness we once took for granted—smiles, warmth, presence—feels rare now. In some moments, it seems like the masks have come off, and people’s true emotions—especially frustration and fear—can no longer be hidden.

    So I ask again: How are you holding up?

    Have you noticed any of this?

    • Feeling uneasy in crowds or certain settings?
    • Picking up on the tension or “heaviness” around you?
    • Sensing negativity or even “monitoring” energy in work or social spaces?

    If so, you’re not alone. The collective stress is real, but the good news is that we can control how we respond to it.

    Ways to Protect Your Energy & Find Comfort

    1. Check In With Yourself
      Awareness is key. Before entering a space, ask yourself: How am I feeling right now?  Recognizing your emotions helps you navigate better with purpose.
    2. Practice Calming Breathing Techniques
      Deep breathing is a simple but powerful tool. Inhale slowly, hold for a few seconds, and exhale gently. No need for dramatic sighs—just steady, quiet breaths to center yourself.
    3. Visualize a Protective Light
      Imagine a white shield surrounding you, deflecting negativity. This mental barrier can help you feel safer in indifferent spaces.
    4. Stay Observant & Trust Your Instincts
      If a place feels off—too crowded, tense, or just wrong—it’s okay to leave. Your comfort and safety matter more than pushing through discomfort.
    5. Lean on Your Support System
      Have a go-to person (or people) you can call or text when you need grounding. Sometimes, just knowing someone’s there can ease anxiety.
    6. Carry a Self-Care Kit
      Small comforts make a difference. Keep gum, fruit, or candy on hand. If you’re heading into a stressful situation (like a long wait), bring headphones for music, an audiobook, or a physical book to escape into. At times, I like to bring a sweater for comfort when I know I am going to sit for a while.

    You are not alone in what you’re feeling. As the world shifts, so must our tools for grounding, healing, and navigating it all.

    Guard your peace!

    Share with me how you are showing up for yourself. What are you doing to stay grounded?

  • Stepping Into My Purpose: Trusting Spirit’s Guidance

    Author Christine T.

    I started my journey with a vision of becoming a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA), but life had other plans. When that path didn’t work out, I pursued Human Resource Management, believing it was the right direction—but the doors refused to open.

    For the longest time, I sat in uncertainty, waiting for clarity. Then, I finally did what I should have done all along—I let Spirit take the wheel.

    From Uncertainty to Divine Guidance

    For the past few years, I have allowed Spirit to guide my steps, trusting that my purpose would unfold in ways beyond my imagination.

    When the world faced COVID, I embarked on a new journey—Enchanted Waves. Initially, it was a platform where I sold spiritual items, but as time passed, Spirit led me in an entirely different direction. My calling was not in selling products—it was in healing, guiding, and supporting others.

    A Passion for Helping Others

    Helping people has always been my passion. I just needed to find the right way to show up for others outside of the traditional roles of a social worker or therapist. It wasn’t that I lacked the desire—I simply had responsibilities that made internships and conventional paths difficult.

    Yet, Spirit never let me give up. Instead, I was led to holistic healing, transformational coaching, and energy work, allowing me to help others in a way that feels deeply aligned with my purpose.

    Walking in Alignment with My Purpose

    ✨ Per Numerology, I am a Life Path 9.
    ✨ I am a Virgo, deeply rooted in service and healing.
    ✨ My Spirit Mother is the Water Spirit—fluid, intuitive, and ever-evolving.

    I am here to guide, to heal, to comfort. I have been told countless times that I will heal with my hands—that my gift is to bring peace to others, to listen without judgment, and to uplift those who need it most.

    For years, I have been doing exactly that—coaching, motivating, and encouraging family, friends, and those Spirit places on my path. I’ve always shared that big changes aren’t always necessary—sometimes, it’s the small shifts that create the biggest impact.

    Your Journey is Yours Alone

    I want you to know—I have been where you are.
    I continue to grow, evolve, and face life’s obstacles, just as you do.

    💡 Life does not stop. Obstacles come in different forms, but we must release the fear of the unknown.
    💡 We cannot control everything. What is meant for us will always find its way.
    💡 Courage is the key. We must have the boldness to live for ourselves, not for others.

    No one’s story or journey is the same. Do not suppress your dreams or dim your light to keep others comfortable. Allow Spirit, the Universe, or the Divine to lead you to the place you were meant to be.

    I know that this moment, this chapter, is just another stepping stone toward my greatness.

    ✨ Let’s step into yours. ✨

  • Practicing What I Preach: A Weekend of Self-Reflection

    Author Christine T. 3/16/25

    This past weekend was a true test of practicing what I preach. Friday and Saturday, I felt on edge, irritated by every little thing, and, to be honest, I was snappy with people. Sleep had been non-existent for a while, leaving me feeling restless and antsy.

    My novice knowledge of horoscopes, I might have blamed it on full moon energy or planetary alignments shifting my emotions. But the truth is, I had to take a step back and acknowledge something important—it wasn’t the universe; it was me.

    Owning My Reactions

    I started my day frustrated, mentally ready to throw the whole day away. I was waiting for something to set me off, allowing my emotions to control me rather than the other way around. But when I finally sat with myself, I had a realization:


    ➡ My response was controlling me.
    ➡ I was reacting instead of being mindful.
    ➡ I was not being gentle with myself.

    I had to take a deep breath and remind myself that some situations are simply out of my control. Instead of allowing external frustrations to dictate my mood, I needed to step outside of myself, shift my perspective, and regulate my response.

    Choosing Mindfulness Over Reaction

    Once I consciously decided to change my approach, I noticed a difference. I slowed down, focused on my breathing, and took in my environment. I reminded myself that the world does not revolve around me—other people have their own struggles too.

    Through this process, I embraced three important lessons:

    1️⃣ Be gentle with yourself. Not every day is filled with love and light, and that’s okay. Some days will be tough, and that doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re human.


    2️⃣ Check your attitude. Recognize when you’re spiraling into frustration and take a moment to recalibrate.


    3️⃣ Control what you can—your response. You may not be able to control everything around you, but you can control how you react. Move with intention, not impulse.

    Final Thoughts

    This weekend reminded me that growth is a daily practice. Some days, you’ll feel aligned and at peace; other days, you’ll be frustrated and impatient. But the key is awareness—catching yourself before you spiral, giving yourself grace, and choosing to respond with coolness instead of contempt.

    💡 What’s one way you practice emotional self-awareness?

  • “You’ve Come Along Way, Baby”

    Embracing Growth and Change

    Author Christine T. 2/19/2025

    “You’ve come a long way, baby.” This simple yet powerful statement has always resonated with me. It’s a reminder that life is all about evolution. Every challenge, every setback, and every difficult relationship teaches us something. But here’s the question: Are we using those lessons to grow?

    The Purpose of Challenges:
    Life’s difficulties often serve as a mirror, reflecting areas where we need growth. Whether it’s a personal relationship, professional dynamic, or even self-limiting beliefs, the key to overcoming negativity is change.

    Example – Navigating Difficult Relationships:
    Have you ever found yourself in a frustrating dynamic where communication seems impossible? Maybe it’s a tense workplace relationship, a friendship filled with misunderstandings, or a personal connection that feels like it’s always on edge. Instead of staying stuck, consider this approach:

    ✅ 1. Confront Without Confrontation – Address the issue with understanding, not blame. Lead with curiosity instead of criticism.

    ✅ 2. Improve Communication – Ask, How can we do better? Instead of reacting emotionally, focus on solutions.

    ✅ 3. Check Yourself – Self-awareness is key. Are your own triggers, assumptions, or past wounds affecting how you respond?

    Conclusion:
    Growth doesn’t come from comfort—it comes from challenge. The next time you face difficulty, remember: You’ve come a long way, baby. Keep rising, keep evolving, and keep moving forward.
