  • What I wish I had heard after my abortion:

    “Your thoughts will change over time.”

    ☀️💛☀️

    Time doesn’t heal all wounds.

    Emotional pain after abortion is sourced in our thoughts.
    What we think is what we feel.

    In time, thoughts change.
    Changing thoughts, changing feelings.

    Tend to the gift that is your mind.
    Your mind is where you will find peace;
    your mind is where you will find freedom.

    Your mind is both the simplest,
    and the most complex tool you have.
    Use it wisely, or it will use you.

    Feed it nourishing content,
    surround it with loving company,
    be patient with it,
    but forever diligent.

    You were programed to survive,
    but you were born to thrive.

    I believe that some things in life pick us…That’s exactly how I feel about my abortion.I don’t just think abortion picked me to teach me a lesson. I believe that my baby picked me so that I could do this work, so that I could help other women find the inner peace and strength I was able to access before, during, and after my procedure.

  • What I wish I had heard after my abortion:

    “It’s okay to be uncomfortable.”

    ☀️💛☀️

    Comfort is a beautiful thing:
    a resting place
    a being place.

    But not a growing place.

    Comfort doesn’t expand you.
    Discomfort is where you grow.

    Discomfort is a feeling
    and it’s meant to be a part of your human experience.

    We are designed to break open before we bloom.

    Abortion cracks us open.

    It reveals to us
    —and to the world—
    a new part of who we are.

    It shows us new way to love
    new passages to journey
    new places to go.

    Discomfort is never the problem.

    Our resistance to discomfort is what sabotages our human experience.

    Everything is here to show you something—
    discomfort included.

    I believe that some things in life pick us…That’s exactly how I feel about my abortion.I don’t just think abortion picked me to teach me a lesson. I believe that my baby picked me so that I could do this work, so that I could help other women find the inner peace and strength I was able to access before, during, and after my procedure.

  • What I wish I had heard after my abortion:

    “Abortion is how you parented that child.”

    ☀️💛☀️

    Each of our children are here to teach us something.

    Our relationship is mutual.

    Some might tell you that your baby had no voice
    but they are mistaken.

    Souls who choose wombs marked
    Pregnancy NOT Desired

    know exactly what they are here for.

    Anyone who tells you otherwise
    does not give enough credit to the spiritual or human experience.

    Not all pregnancies are meant to deliver breathing babies.

    Some are testing grounds for souls dipping their feet in the human form.
    Some are meant to deliver fuller more expanded women.

    All pregnancies are opportunities for growth.

    To be a parent is to choose love
    even when it feels like the hardest thing in the world.

    Abortion is an expression of love.

  • What I wish I had heard after my abortion:

    “You’re not that special.”

    ☀️💛☀️

    It’s true.

    And it’s great news.

    I know you feel alone.
    I know you feel unique.
    I know you feel different.

    But you’re not that special.
    Not in that way.

    The complexity of your feelings
    the loneliness

    the confusion

    it’s all normal and typical
    and expected.

    What will make you special is how you rise.

    Your strength
    your story

    your ability to turn darkness into light—

    that’s what makes you special.

    Abortion isn’t special
    but living purposefully and intentionally after abortion is more than special.

    It’s exceptional.

    You can choose to be exceptional.

    I believe that some things in life pick us…That’s exactly how I feel about my abortion.I don’t just think abortion picked me to teach me a lesson. I believe that my baby picked me so that I could do this work, so that I could help other women find the inner peace and strength I was able to access before, during, and after my procedure.

  • What I wish I had heard after my abortion:

    “Reunite with your body.”

    ☀️💛☀️

    You lost touch when your mom told you
    you shouldn’t eat that third cookie at age ten.

    You lost touch when your
    friends in middle school had
    less belly in their bikinis.

    You lost touch when you told him
    NO
    and he fondled you anyway.

    You lost touch when all those
    fertility treatments failed.

    Or maybe
    you didn’t lose touch until you were blindsided
    by the unplanned pregnancy.

    Now is the time to let all of that go.

    Not to forget it
    but to redefine it.

    Now is the time to reunite.

    Love her.

    Caress her.

    Whisper sweet nothings into every nook and cranny of her miraculous shape.

    She needs you now more than ever.

    She needs you to
    rekindle the flame you had before the world started telling you lies.

    I believe that some things in life pick us…That’s exactly how I feel about my abortion.I don’t just think abortion picked me to teach me a lesson. I believe that my baby picked me so that I could do this work, so that I could help other women find the inner peace and strength I was able to access before, during, and after my procedure.

  • It mattered when you chose abortion
    and it matters now.

    What you want will always matter.

    Even when you don’t listen to it—
    it matters.

    There have been
    and will be
    times when what you want gets swept away in other people’s dreams
    other people’s fears
    other people’s beliefs
    but that does not mean anything about you.

    Be in a relationship with your own desire:
    get to know her
    play with her
    dance with her
    honor her.

    Communicate with your wants
    as you would a child in your care.

    Listen.
    Negotiate.
    Collaborate.
    And eventually see that she is her own energy.

    You’ve been called here—
    not to manipulate and manage your desire
    but to allow it
    nurture it

    and hold space for it to come to life.
