In the wanting and craving. It is both delicious and frustrating.
Tired from liminal space, wishing time as we perceive it would hurry up and pass. Life doesn’t work that way though.
When we are able to be honest, transparent, and vulnerable with each other, we can be supportive, collaborative, and caring with and for each other.
We judge others because we judge ourselves even more.
Allowing ourselves to trust and be cared for is a practice.
Trusting our own inner knowing is not always easy, and the more we are able to, the more peace we can find and create in our lives.
Peace isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. It requires us to feel our emotions, to hold ourselves accountable for harm we have done, and being honest with ourselves and others about where we are, what we are feeling, and where we want to be.
Holding each other through the stress and pain is everything.
Sometimes everything feels right but we aren’t ready. Trusting that it will come back (though maybe in a different form) when we are ready is a practice that involves honesty, clarity, and grief.
It is important to tell others the ways they bring us calm, peace, and hope.
The life we want is within our grasp. We have to continue doing the inner and outer work to create it.
The more we accept, nurture, and grow our interdependence, the more beauty, love, and magic we will experience.
We don’t know or understand the timing of the Universe, god(s/desses), Guides, or ancestors. We can only practice trusting it.
Divinity is not something for us to intellectualize or understand. It is something for is to feel, live, and be.
Loving with broken open hearts requires us to risk heartache, again and again. And along the way we will find the people who see us, know us, and love us as we are (and we do the same for them in return).
Finding our ways to exist outside the systems of harm happens in small steps, and each step is important and valuable.
Autonomy and interdependence go hand in hand. We actually can’t have one without the other.
Entering new chapters means doing things differently. Some chapter changes are bigger than others.
