Turn Your Wounds Into Strength
About me
As the legend goes, when the phoenix resurrects from the flames, she is even more beautiful than before.
Sometimes in life we struggle with keeping positivity and faith near us. We tend to forget the things that keep us fighting each and every day.
I made this site to help with the every day struggle anyone might be feeling. To be the positivity in life anyone may need. To give you another reason to keep fighting when you may think the war is over.
Lighthouses always brought me peace. The light it gives brings you back home, to your center. Brings you in from the darkness or danger. My hope is that this site will help you find the same peace.
Sometimes
Sometimes my mind makes everything feel like an emergency. The thoughts get loud, my heart races, and even the smallest things feel overwhelming. I’m constantly trying to calm myself down, catch my breath, and remind myself that I’m okay.
I wish my heart could believe what my mind is trying so hard to understand. That not everything is falling apart. That there is still beauty in life, even when things feel heavy. That I am allowed to have moments of peace without waiting for something bad to happen.
Maybe I’m not broken. Maybe I’m just tired of fighting battles inside myself that nobody else can see. Maybe I need to give myself the same grace I keep asking God for.
Being human
Accept your emotions. Accept the good. Accept the pain. Do not talk negatively about yourself. We have perfected putting are best poker face on to hide ourselves. It is okay to feel what you need to. It is okay to get through it. It’s okay to sit with it. Do not brush it away. These little bits and pieces are a part of you. They are a part of your story. It’s okay to feel sadness. Its okay to feel vulnerable. These are emotions we all feel. Do not beat yourself up for them.
Remember that you are human ❤️
Through the sickness
I’m thankful for everything I’ve survived in private, especially the battles of living with chronic illness. The pain, the exhaustion, the days my health declines, and the reality of living in a body that doesn’t always cooperate. So many battles that no one sees or truly understands.
God has been with me through the mountaintops and the darkest valleys. Even on the days I’m hurting, struggling, and wondering how much more I can take, He hasn’t left me. I look back at everything he’s brought me through and forward to everything he still has planned.
My health may be uncertain, but my faith remains.
Be kinder to yourself 🩶
Learn to be kinder to yourself. You will make mistakes. You will fail. You will feel lost. There will be times that the weight of it may feel unbearable. That you are not enough. You are human. Speak kinder to yourself. Be kinder to yourself. Love yourself more deeply. Talk to yourself like a loved one. There will be moments of joy. There will be moments of light. Be gentle as you go through life. Have compassion and empathy for yourself. Remember that you are worthy in every season of life.
