My Truth

I am strong, resilient and worthy. 
My voice matters. 
I see those many don’t see.
I hear those whose hearts are longing to be heard.
I hold space and care for those who come under my care.
I am a therapist 
All my experiences
The joys, the triumphs, the heartaches
the Dark Night of the Souls.
My fears, insecurities and anxiety
My friendships and those within my community
Empower me to sit with those who seek
Their own healing journey.
I am competent
I have been given the skills, ability and talent
To humbly and confidently stand
In my role as a Therapist 
As a Student.
My love of learning overrides the untruth of being labeled unacademic.
I am strong, and I choose today not to give my own power where it is undeserving.
I choose to no longer belittle or dismiss my own worth and value.
I choose to stand in the truth of
Who I was and am created to be.
The Maker
Holds me close in His Hands.
Whispers, “Beloved, you are intelligent,
I’ve given you everything you need to 
Stand, to succeed.
You have sought to be found worthy
To be seen as intelligent by man’s 
Standard.
Just as you are is enough.
You don’t need to work hard to find approval. I already approve and find you 
Pleasing in my eyes.
Don’t you see how beautifully I’ve made you? 
How strong you are,
How you walk in integrity despite the storms and challenges you face?
You are magnificent you just don’t see it yet.
I am forming your foundation wilTo be firm,  and firmly grounded.
You will not always feel weak, as if you might fall when next wind comes to try and take you off your feet. 
One day, you will look back and see how I strengthened and brought stability within  your walls.
You will be a strong warrior,
Voice of truth for those held captive 
I am anointing you with my Spirit.
Daughter, stand tall and hold your head  high. go
I need you to be my voice, my ears and my heart in the dark places, where many are hurting and in need of my Hope & Light.
Hold onto my hand, we will get through this and you will overcome as you allow me to make the path straight before you.
I am proud of you beyond measure.
Be proud of who you are, and who I am
Crafting you to be.
A tree that is deeply rooted and provides shade, protection and care for those who come to rest.
Live in reality of my love.
Let it be the air you breathe.
The peace that holds you in the morning dawn and the setting sun.
Stand, for such a time as this.
For you have a  Kingly mantle 
Today rise knowing I go before you in authority.

Crooked Chair

How do I fit all the pieces together? No longer can they go back nicely in the box Stuffed back in, and ready for another day They can’t, they won’t. Neither do I want them to. Raw Unsettled Exposed Vulnerable  Layers of Emotions Swirling No beginning And yet no end. A  massive mixing pot. The mind and heart Battling fiercely to distinguish  How to put it back together? Where do I go from here? Shame? No longer welcome Yet the remnants remain Messages from the past  Powerful, foreboding  Dark. Familiar Am I broken? Cracked beyond repair? Will I ever be fully mended? Is that even obtainable? I strive desperately for healing Yet for what gain?  Only to be side swiped. Jolted Joy? What the hell is that? So close Yet miles and miles beyond reach. In the mixing pot My chair is BROKEN It’s uneven, and not like the rest. Can it fit at the table? Is there room for my crooked leg? I have a limp from years ago. Life has left lasting impact. My chair is TAINTED Its di...

Perfectionism Vs Authenticity

I 've been reading a book lately called " The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brene Brown. It challenges me on pretty much every level and makes me really think about how I am choosing to go through life and whether I am claiming shame or authenticity,  or living in love and belonging. She goes on to talk about how choosing a life of authenticity is a   choice   and in today's world- that can pose a threat to many as our society has become all about appearances, having it all together, striving to look like everything is working as it should be, while meanwhile feeling like you don't belong or aren't good enough.  To be honest I would think that more often than not I would say I live in the opposite of authenticity, and perfectionism is a real struggle. Yet I know I am not alone in this struggle. I desire to be authentic, but that means choosing to be real, genuine and open and not allowing shame to overide true feelings of love and belonging. As a Christian, I wou...

Romania- Bucharest

Here are a few pictures of me in Romania. My time in Bucharest Romania was an amazing time one in which I will cherish for the rest of my life. I was able to be reunited with my bioligical family and it was an amazing reunion. I have known all my life that I was loved and had a family in Romania who loved me immensly and gave me up for adopted because of their great love for me and I saw firsthand how much of a sacrifice it was to give me up because they love me immensely. M y family ( which included all of Marianna,s family, and my brother and sisters) ended up coming to church with me which I was totally amazed by and know that God is working in my family's life. Not only does He love me, but He loves them and desires that they would all come to know Him. Roman Orthodox religion is very strong in Romania,which is grounded by many rituals. The fact they wanted to come to church was so amazing to me and I never asked them to come and they had decided they wanted to come even before...
