A year between these two photos.
Oh, how much life can change.
I look at her in 2024 and she feels like a stranger.
Just a dream of another me.
She had no idea what was coming.
No early warning signs.
Life was humming along nicely....
What would I communicate to her if I could?
Hang on.
Hang on to LIFE.
Be grateful that you lead a healthy life. This will help you recover better than if you had poor health. It sucks that there is no medal for a lifetime of moderation but bad luck - it makes no sense - keep eating your good food, moving your body, meditating.
Don't ask if it makes a difference.
Be grateful for a rich spiritual life. Those inner resources will be your compass in the darkness. You will see the world with different eyes. You don't need to explain it to anyone. You know it can't be explained and never will.
Be grateful for your incredibly supportive family and friends. You have so many tears of gratitude coming! You will hold others with a new level of preciousness. You will be in awe at the love and support around you. Others are going to feed you, literally and figuratively, and you are going to let them (finally! ππ) You can rest in that, take refuge and know you are loved.
Trust yourself, girlfriend.
Trust like your life depends on it.
Because it does.
You are about to shake off a whole unnecessary layer of who you thought you were and things are going to get very wobbly.
Unfortunately, this is not a weekend workshop on transformation.
This will require endurance.
It won't neatly be 'over' in 12 months' time.
So hang on, my sacred, unprepared friend.
Hang on.
