This Too Shall Pass: 5 Ways to Get Through the Bad Days
This week I have been stuck, frustrated, depressed and found myself building self-righteous walls to keep the ENTIRE WORLD OUT. Yes, I lost it.

I spent the other 23 LONG hours of my day sulking, sleeping and letting old tears come through. I finally gathered enough energy to pull my journal out and began writing about these ill feelings that…

Why is it that we fear the unknown and how is it that this one fear brings about so much…

Strategic Detachment
Emotional attachment happens when we introduce judgment into the moment. We ask ourselves: “How do I feel about this?”. We personalize the experience by involving ourselves emotionally. In short, we take the moment to heart. The circumstance is no longer just a circumstance. It’s now about us. It’s now happening to us. When we live like this, our emotions change from moment to moment. We get pulled in one direction and then the next. It’s an emotional roller coaster! It’s…

Moving from the slime to the sublime! Don’t be NamNastay.com
There is an unseen essential that is intrinsic, universal and guiding everyone who listens. There is an invisible hand at work in the making of beautiful lives. Uncommon success is found on the spiritual plane; you can't get there through common convention or following others. Hard work is not enough; many work slavishly-hard for little reward. Intelligence is insufficient; there are so many educated and brilliant people who have failed utterly and completely. Goodness is not enough; think of how…

Forgiving Narcissistic Abuse? What!?
“Forgiveness is part of healing. It is not a prerequisite to healing. It is a point we reach when we understand and accept the truth about what happened to us from a position of emotional neutrality without the pain, blame and shame that our abusers shadowed on us.” — Evelyn Ryan I'd like to share some information on forgiveness, justice and victimization that may not be so obvious to survivors of narcissistic abuse but is critical to their healing.
