Many people who've lost a loved one talk to them in their heads or out loud. Wind phones are a way of channeling that — often old-fashioned rotary telephones, installed in public spaces, where you can say all the things you want to say to the people you're grieving. Here's a story from Fodor's Travel explaining the idea's origins in Japan, and how it's become a worldwide movement. “Most of them are at beautiful places where they’re quiet, private, and in nature, which I think is important," says Amy Dawson, whose daughter died in 2020. "It allows us to surrender to our grief and express what we need to express.”

I have to admit I thought long and hard about including the 1st photo in this post as I look and felt so vulnerable but then I realised that I should because that’s the whole point.
Vulnerable is exactly how I’m feeling and have been feeling for a good week and that feeling will be high up there until after my birthday on the 23rd of this month. Now that I’m exploring my feelings instead of ignoring them, I’m aware that I feel this way every year. My birthday has always been tied up with feelings of rejection, pain and loss. I can honestly say I haven’t had many birthdays at all that have been joyful but those years that were I hold very dear because they are so rare.
I have decided to pick through all of the pain so that I can finally find peace, hopefully. As birthdays are supposed to be celebrations (so I’m told) I would like for this one to be the last painful one.
This morning I found a bubble blower and I sat feeling extremely vulnerable and I blew bubbles. I connected with my always sad and confused inner child and let her feel peace. The chirping of the birds, the sun on her skin, the beauty of the bubbles in the sunshine and that magical popping sound. No pressure, no anything, just being exactly in the moment of beauty and wonder. I think allowing my inner child out is key to healing, she went through so much and deserves to feel joy, laughter and freedom to be her without judgement. I say without judgement because it’s something I’ve always done since I was a child and it’s stifled me as an adult.
I have a week or so to figure out how but I’m going to try and let this birthday be one for my inner child, to see if I can help us to heal. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthjourney #healing #healingfromtrauma #healingisaprocess #innerchild #innerchildtherapy #therapy #findingjoy #findingpeace #workinprogress

Tommy Clifford was a spontaneous, ambitious, and beloved Rutgers student whose life ended tragically in 1989. His story inspired my novel, Two Sentences—a tale of guilt, forgiveness, and a ghostly message that brings closure. Based on true events. 📖✨ FREE ON #WATTPAD

“The #Healing Power of #Dance: A Celebration of Life in Motion”

..." one thing I have been missing these last few years is the way dancing empowers me and fills my life with unbounded joy.

A Streaming Platform for Women · "The Healing Power of Dance: A Celebration of Life in Motion" - A Streaming Platform for WomenDance is a language all to itself, it expands our way of connecting outside of the spoken word. Dance is creativity, it is a way of sparking our curiosity.  It empowers us to feel our feelings and connect to one another through movement, to be aware of one another's physical presence and the way we could be moving through the world together in more expansive ways. Dance is an expression of life, of joy, of grief, of longing. 

Every time you avoid conflict to “keep the peace,” you’re not just staying quiet—you’re sending your nervous system the message that self-advocacy is dangerous. Over time, this leads to heightened anxiety around confrontation and a belief that your voice is unsafe. But this pattern can be unlearned. #avoidance #trauma #healing #conflict #fighting
