“Did you know you’re allowed to cherish your entire life as a process shamelessly? Each bumpy, awkward experience and every single creamy, effortless moment within your individual chapter of development. This is not a mad dash for excellence, nor a race to see if you can get it all right by age thirty-two. Over time, you will find new purpose being in your forties, love inside your fifties, sensuality in your sixties, and tireless dreams waking into existence all throughout. However long you’re alive, there is a phase, a stage, a setback, and an opening to find a new lens. A gate to enter a deeper realm inside your soul. A chance to find another golden bridge to cross. Everything is here for you and willing to become a part of solving the mystery of who you are and why you’re here..”
GOLDEN BRIDGE💛

LOOK TO THE CLEARING🍃 poems to encourage 🖤

Whatever season you find yourself in, there is a reason to continue living. It doesn't need to appear dramatically or look superficial. It can look like dormancy before sprouting. It can look like loving your grandchild and sharing your stories. It can be planting a seed and watching passion unfold as a rose. It's knowing you still have love to give and it's not too late to receive it...

💯

It's okay to cry. It’s okay not to cry. It’s alright to take your time and wait for the primary emotion to surface and allow the immediate response to hold the space.

Whatever is coming up for you in the moment works or whatever slowly makes its way out after awhile is valid, too. Because emotional responses can be primal and raw, mixed and complex or have their own method of being known.

You may have been in situations where your feelings had to be set aside because your instincts needed to be in the forefront for preservation.

Maybe you had to be in denial about something or quickly freeze in order to postpone or insulate the intensity of shocking news. Later, you’ll thaw and the ways in which it affected you will discern when it’s safe to come out and be processed.

Maybe it’s hard for you to own your feelings and there’s an entire life story attached to the reason why. In the meantime, having outside validation to go ahead and claim your personal experiences has a meaningful impact on your emotional recovery process. ❤️

Healing isn’t linear. Be patient with yourself, it’s a process.
