Trust is a practice. Trust in the Universe, in Mother Earth, in Kairos, in other humans, in ourselves.
Being in a space of deep concern and also simultaneously embodied calm knowing is weird.
Fear can grip us in the strangest ways. Slowing down and not acting from that fear is a vital practice.
Healing isn’t linear and at the end of the day we have to be doing it for ourselves, because we want more, “better”, different (for ourselves, our relationships, our world).
Having important to us people be physically far away can be stressful at times. It can also be sad. And there is a bittersweetness in this because then when we are physically near we get to savor and enjoy the togetherness that much more.
Life is an interesting ride. Soul lessons will come at us until learned. Soul and karmic bonds go far beyond this life and plane and can rarely be understood by those who aren’t a part of it.
Time is a construct and our interconnections are more vast and intricate than we can imagine.
Trusting the Universe and that things will work out as they are supposed to still requires us to access our own agency. Things, generally, don’t magically happen. We still have to do the inner and outer work. That’s an important part.
Getting a girls weekend is sometimes all that we need to make everything right again.
Trusting our knowing and not letting our anxious parts run rampant is a practice and process.
Looking back can be healing. And before the healing a lot of mixed emotions will likely be stirred.
Loving with broken open hearts is not for the meek or weak.
Sometimes there are too many synchronicities to deny.
When grief and or trauma memories are stirred, especially on or around anniversary dates, it’s an opportunity for us to see the growth and healing we have done, utilize the resources we now have, and see where we have to more work to do.
Love doesn’t die. It expands and contracts, it shifts, morphs, and changes, but it doesn’t die.
We need each other. Our survival has always been linked to our interdependence and finding ways to support and care for each other.
Being willing to explore possibilities we once said Hell No to, can be a sign of our own growth and healing.
Living under and with the current systems means we have a responsibility to find new, creative, even uncomfortable ways to work around and live outside them.
