Unedited Optimism: 2022 Year in Review
This has been a year of great triumphs and deep, penetrating stresses. I find it important that we acknowledge our unedited lives so we can find solace and realness with each other. I would love to let you in, and if you’re keen on it, read on.
How to Fix Tired
Ayurvedically speaking, there are two main reasons you’re tired when it’s not bedtime. And depending on which one you’re dealing with, your approach is completely different.

Do you think out loud or to yourself? Do you seek others when you need to work through an issue? Or do you go within? How you behave has everything to do with how you process information. Both ways are valid. Understanding how we think can breed compassion about different communication styles.

Welcome! I’m Susan James, Writer, Reader, Artist, NAMA Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Reiki Master, Yoga Teacher (RYT 500), Crystal Healer, Astrology Enthusiast, and (often barefoot) Lawyer.
On this blog, I write about my own wellness odyssey in the hopes that sharing my experiences will bring some light into your life. I will write as many Dispatches on a Dreamy Life as I can in the areas of Writing, Relationships, Ayurveda, Reiki, Yoga, Crystals, Astrology, and whatever else caused some healing in my life. As a wounded healer, sometimes the sunshine and the dreams come after a dark night of the soul. It is my intention to share all of that as well. Read on, Wellness Warriors.
