Today I am celebrating my conscious effort to making time for just being peaceful. ☺️

Day 1 of 10 - MAKE SPACE Peace isn't something we find outside ourselves when everything finally becomes quiet. It begins when we make enough space within ourselves to hear what the noise has been drowning out. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is stop... breathe... and allow what is true to come forward. Peace begins within. What might become clearer if you made a little more space today? #SoulShiftSounds #AmplifyTheSignal #ReduceTheNoise #MakeSpace

I’m bipolar. And I will likely carry that name for the rest of my life. I’m bipolar. Sometimes rage finds me before awareness does, and there are moments I barely remember becoming someone I never meant to be. I’m bipolar. There will be weeks when mania lifts me too high or depression buries me too deep. I’m bipolar. I feel everything intensely. A delayed reply, a different tone, a passing glance… my mind can convince me you’re angry with me when you’re not. There’s more. So much more. But these are chapters, not the whole story. Bipolar is something I live with. It shapes parts of my journey, but it does not write my character. I am still capable of love. Of kindness. Of growth. Of laughter. Of healing. Of being fully, beautifully human. This diagnosis is part of my life. It is not the definition of my life. And it is not the definition of me. ~R.N.Morabe What’s a label you carry? How does it make you feel?

So apparently Burt’s first name is Shirley, named after the mother of the kid who planted her/him/them in 1982. 🌱
