“Empower-Full” Thoughts, Warm Fuzzies, and Other Good Stuff (:
Revealing poems by K.G. Ropel ~ topic: Depression
Depression is a topic that still seems so taboo to talk about, even with its more common mentioning on TV and social media. It’s very real, can be debilitating, and in my opinion, is just as much of a bully as addiction.
Interview with Jeff Montgomery
I’m starting a video series about how some of the people I admire live life with such positive energy — even during the tough spots. I hope you will enjoy each one.
Dandelion Wishes and Manifesting Dreams
Ever notice how the Universe conspires with you when you are in alignment with your passion, purpose, and path?
Allow Your Wildest Dreams 🙂
If you have a dream within you, it’s YOURS. It wouldn’t have come to you if you didn’t have what it takes to bring it to life.
Homegoing
You see. Loss and grief are different for everyone, for every circumstance, and stage of life that a loved one was in. Or, a celebrity we didn’t know personally (as in the world’s tragic loss of Prince last week ): )
Love, Time, and Presence
Someone I love profoundly has lost a treasured person from their life. This person I love, is my most amazing “heart-person,” as my cousin so lovingly stated today. MY go-to person, MY comfort person, MY clarity person. For a while today I’ve been feeling at a loss,...
Planetary Vibes
It’s almost time for Mercury Retrograde again. Ugh. While it doesn’t have to suck… it does cause me, anyway, to feel more emotional, retrospective, etc.
Confidence
Confidence. How do you get it if you weren’t born with it, or if you lost it along the road of life?
Waffles?
How are you with decisions? Pretty good? Make them easily? Do you sleep on it and wake up with dedication to whatever it is that you decide? Are you a pros-cons lister? A weigh everything outer? Or are you a waffler?
You know. Flip flopper. Mind changer. What if this or what if that-er?
What’s in Your Pocket?
We are in charge of our own time and how we spend it. Doing more of what makes us feel good, balanced, and healthy is not only beneficial to us… but to others as well. Be happy, attract happy. See? The genuine folks in your life understand. <3
Social media, the bully (depression), and what’s real Parts 1 and 2
Social media bombardment is everywhere, it’s really cool in a lot of ways. But it’s so important to maintain your self-love, self-care, nurture your self and relationships with the genuine people in your life. Utilize social media for the good it offers, don’t let it contribute to depression, low self-worth, or isolation. I’m here to remind you, that YOU are beautiful and valued as you are. Today. Right now. There is only ONE you and you are loved! <3
Suicide and Hope
One thing to understand about suicidal thoughts, plans, and deeds… it’s not always something that happened in that moment or that day that makes a person think about, plan, or succeed in taking their own life. That one thing may have been the feather that tipped the scale.
All the Feels
At such a fragile state of despair or hopelessness, and/or total inner cup depletion, how in the heck do you do anything but sit there in the muck and cry?
Here’s what to do.
Butterflies, Fireflies, Jars, and Love
What can be done to save your light? Your grace? Your freedom?
Fulfill Your Purpose
…we’ve got to look at the ugly stuff in order to heal it. Shine light on it, wrap it in love, and send it on its way. Healing begins inside. Happiness does, too.
Fun Overload!
Just like a monotonous routine can bring a person down, living so spontaneously and recklessly can also have the same effect.
Break the Monotony!
You’ll feel like you have much more LIFE in your days when you implement more time for you, for fun, for friends, for family.
Leveling Up!
Today is great. Don’t let it go by unnoticed while re-living a skewed version of yesterday. That saying “live in the moment” is excellent advice. This moment is where everything is!
