Dear Coffee
We sure have a love / hate relationship. Well, maybe the word hate is a little too harsh, but there a definitely days I try to stay away from you.
You are a big temptress, luring me in with your smell that makes me smile. I love you with honey and heavy whipping cream. You’re so smooth and heaven knows that the first sip in the morning is the best one. Knowing this also makes it hard to resist you, and mornings without you leave me missing you. But you also leave me dehydrated, feeling blah after the high settles, and often with a headache. Even from just one cup. I have to admit that while I love you, I don’t care for this side effect.
Still I fear the struggle with your addictive personality will continue, and some days I will manage to not give into you while others I will falter under your spell.
Yours sincerely
We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other.
Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other.
This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place.
My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire.
Who I am in a nutshell...
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master.
I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago.
I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars.
I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter.
I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self.
This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes.
Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

I’m giving up coffee from tomorrow – I’m dreading it, but I need to do this as part of my histamine elimination diet. Hoping any withdrawals aren’t too bad

You should be in the midst of it by now and hope the withdrawals are mild for you. It does get better and easier with each day. Best of luck.
