So often it is in our darkest hours, when we are ready to give up and throw in the towel, that our faith in something greater is the weakest. When we need our faith the most, we abandon it and we abandon ourselves. Yet it is precisely when we are at our lowest point thatContinue reading “Sometimes we have to trust our way through the darkness to find the light again”

Opening the Capacity to Love
Each of us has an infinite capacity to love. Yet we put rocks, sand and baubles in our jars Out of fear, out of pain Blocking our ability to fully receive And acknowledge the vastness of our own greatness Allowing the stories we’ve told ourselves about why we cannot love Gives them further solidity OccludingContinue reading “Opening the Capacity to Love”
The Epiphany of Allowing
It is on this day that I met the elegant, beautiful and delicately strong lotus flower named Epiphany. She was captivating to watch as she morphed into different shapes and colors as her awareness of herself grew. She was open, she was vulnerable and she knew who she was. She could be anything thatContinue reading “The Epiphany of Allowing”
Trailblazer on Fire
The fire in my soul is back on. You’ve been warned. I will not be held responsible if your ass catches on fire, so you might just want to don your asbestos underwear right meow. (C) Tiffany Cara 2017 Namaste Images: Google

Breaking Relationships
Tapestries frayed with time don’t hold the same face held in place by pure will and strength afraid to let go the fear of the unknown: who? who would replace? non-severed ties tug on strings pulling back together bumping into things that smother where flowers decay and green shoots wither it seems like i’m stuck inContinue reading “Breaking Relationships”
What We Resist, We Become
I didn’t want to be bitter When Marriage vows dissolved Yet that is exactly what I became I hid it even from myself Like a red tide, it was Just below the surface And that is my shame For this, I have no one But myself to … blame. Accepting responsibility for What I’ve createdContinue reading “What We Resist, We Become”
Writer’s Block: The Pursuit of Perfection
Words typically flow through my mind like a raging river. Recently, the flow stopped in a way it had never done before. I felt frozen, cold and isolated, as if in a shell. A shell, it turns out, I had imposed upon myself and reinforced. Breathing through the stagnation, spending more time in meditation andContinue reading “Writer’s Block: The Pursuit of Perfection”
Keep Going
When in the shadows All can seem lost. Just as the sun rises, There is light beyond the dark. Keep stepping. Keep going. Allow the dark to show you Your courage, Your strength, Your truth. For it is in the darkness That we can learn the most. Namaste (C) 2017 Tiffany Cara
