Happy New Year! 2022 Yearend

Happy New Year! Poetic Resurrection 2022 YearendHappy New Year! It’s that time of the year where most of us reflect on what we did or didn’t do in 2022. Looking forward to an upward emotion in 2023. I’m hopeful. Even though, like many others, I’ve had a challenging year in various aspects of my life. I feel hopeful and excited about the new year. It might be a dream, but I’m okay with it. We need to flourish with possibilities.

As many know from my podcasts and blogs, I love comedies, enjoying a quiet evening with family and friends and quotes.

Salvador Dali “Have no fear of perfection—you’ll never reach it.”

Dr. Seuss “You’ll never get bored when you try something new. There’s really no limit to what you can do.”

Pablo Picasso “Action is the foundational key to all success.”

Alan Cohen “Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.”

Antonio Banderas “Expectation is the mother of all frustration.”

C.S. Lewis “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”

Melody Beattie “The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written.”

Taken from the Loving Kindness Meditation

May you be happy, May you be healthy, May you be safe, May you live with ease

Que seas feliz, que estés sano, que estés a salvo, que vivas con tranquilidad

I wish you a safe and Happy New Year.

Life, Grief and the Holidays with Adriana Avila

Adriana Avila Life, grief and the holidays with Adriana Avila. During this time of the year is when many of us reflect on those we love who have passed and other changes in our lives where there’s a loss. Be it a family member, friend, pet, or a career. We all grieve in various ways. In this episode, Adriana Avila M.S., LMFT explains what we feel and what we can do to help ourselves during challenging times. A must listen.

Grief, what describes your grief? Grief is unique to each and one of us. There is no wrong or right way to grieve, and it can turn your world upside down. Grief needs to be acknowledged, expressed, and spoken about to bridge our sadness to joy, hopelessness to hope, and powerlessness to empowerment. I, like you, have felt the depth of grief, and when I thought I would never find hope again, day by day, hope started showing up in my life. My relationship with grief led me on a path, a journey, and a deeper connection with myself and others. Because of my life experiences, life led me on a professional grief journey.

My trainings include: training with grief expert, David Kessler through his grief educator program, Paul Denniston, founder of grief yoga, trauma informed yoga, and I am also EMDR certified. I have learned to embrace my life journey, and I am humbled by those that I work with in my practice. I guide you to tap into your strengths, your resources, at your pace and your time, with kindness and compassion. I offer individual therapy, group therapy (pet loss groups, healing after loss groups and grief and trauma informed movement groups) and I also enjoy speaking at events. Part of my self-care/self-love is hiking, yoga, reading books, spending time with my dogs, and running.
