Follow, follow the sun
And which way the wind blows
When this day is done
Breath, breath in the air
Set your intentions
Dream with care
Tomorrow is a new day for everyone
A brand new moon, brand new sun
So follow, follow the sun
Xavier Rudd
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but you deserve some of the same patience you give to others. Please don't be so hard on yourself. You are on a journey, a personal one with no judgment needed. Especially from your own inner critic.
Listen to your needs. Treat yourself with kindness. Make choices that protect your heart while allowing you to move forward. Love yourself with abandon.
You are so deserving! ~❀~
Three years ago for Lent I gave up my favorite snack.. Pringles. I never went back to them.
That worked so well I decided to give up something new this Lenten season with the hope I never go back to it.. and that's speaking negatively about myself, either aloud or in my own mind.
When anything negative tries to make an appearance, I immediately rewrite the script with something I like about myself.
Abstinence and the grace of kindness all rolled up into one.
I am determined! 💟
Given this age of propaganda and AI, how do we know when something is the truth? While J has been putting checks in place to help establish validity of claims, how do we translate that to members of the outside world who are enamored with platforms who may not have completed their due diligence in regards to shared information?
I fear this messy world is going to become a lot messier. Unfortunately, there are people who are making money off the escalating chaos and confusion.
I stood at the edge and tossed a pebble where we once skipped stones. But the rock fell into the dry bed and landed with a hollow thud.. an echo of my broken heart.
As some of you know, I’ve been away more often than here these past 18 months.
After months of DBT, my therapist thinks I’m finally ready to create a trauma narrative. After we work through the most painful parts of my life, I’m to share them with someone I trust, someone who matters to me, someone I feel can accept me unconditionally, someone who I think will help me set them free. Then burn the list.
As I’m continuing this healing journey, know please that I do miss you. 💟
Then there are the darker ones we shove into the box, locked and secure, hoping to never see the light of day. These are the ones we never share. We protect our loved ones from information that would hurt them, choosing to carry that pain ourselves.
And it is painful.
And heavy.
And lonely.
And deadly.
It literally kills us over time.
I want you to know.. I see you. I know you. I am you.
I love you regardless.

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
