From birth, we are enrolled in the University of Life. A hidden curriculum guides each of our lives. Have you discovered this curriculum at work in your own life?

Welcome to afishoutofwater.blog To my fellow travelers, the quietly unraveling, the beautifully undone—this space was made with you in mind. You know who this is for? It’s for the one quietly unraveling in a world that only rewards certainty. The one who feels like they lost the map, only to discover it never quite fit […]
If they truly love and care for you, your happiness will be more important to them than your conformity to their preferences and expectations. Stop living for the approval of those whose primary interest is not your happiness and bliss. Recognize that they value your conformitymore than your happiness.That is not love or care;it […]
Deep within you lies an incredible source of wisdom – an internal guidance system far more powerful than your conscious mind. This inner guide – your intuition, higher self, or the presence of God – holds insights, ideas, and paths forward that you can’t access through logic alone. Think of those flashes of inspiration that […]
The spiritual journey ends when we discover that we have always been home ❤️
Embrace your unique path. End comparison. Live authentically. Someone somewhere needs exactly what you have to offer. ❤️
I cringe when people stereotype me with the label ‘religious’. To be honest, I dislike the word and find it mildly offensive. Of course, this reaction could reflect my own hang-ups rather than ill intent on the part of someone saying, “Oh, I can see you’re religious.” So, disclaimer aside, let me vent! No, […]
Living too much in my head wasn’t serving me. Back in 2016, I realized there must be a better, more authentic way to understand reality than through the constant chatter of my mind. I longed for a deeper connection – with myself, the world, and something greater. I asked God, the Universe, the Holy Spirit, […]

We might describe our family roles, gender, occupation, race, nationality, beliefs, values… anything that defines us within a particular framework. But what if these labels are merely a “construct,” a way we build our sense of self […]
My cry is ‘Freedom!’My quest is re-Union! I refuse to be defined by the pastOr limited by circumstances.Fear and doubt will not have the last say. I refuse to journey back in timeTo past grievances or slights. I spread my wings and soar,Carried by grace and unfailing love.Though I may waver,No one and nothing can […]
Conversations do matter. The right conversation, with the right person, at the right time can change everything. It can transform lives and unlock possibilities you never imagined. While there’s value in quiet reflection and personal goal-setting, sometimes nothing beats the power of meaningful conversation. It’s time to seek out those spaces where the conversations happen […]

Prompted by them, I was answering questions about God from my 9 and 10 years olds as I drove them in the car to go shopping. My 10 year old summed up the conversation in his own words ‘God is nothing’. He was so right! God is NO Thing. Not an idea, concept, person, object […]
Time is an illusion. That is not to say it is ‘not real’. Time is an illusion because it is not what it appears to be. Time is how we perceive reality i.e. in sequential linear events. Yet what the mind perceives and translates into your experience as sequential and linear, stretching from the past […]
