Real Deal Healing

Real healing comes when you can do for someone else what you wish someone had done for you. 🌟🌟🌟🦋🌈

I choose peace
There are ways to calm down
I just have to remember
Ans be reminded by nice things like this

There’s a version of me
who checks the locks twice
then a third time for good measure
as if dread were a draft
coming in under the door

She means well
she always does

But tonight I let her sit down
I tell her the house is standing
the sky is not about to fall simply
because it could

Anxiety is fond of theatre
it loves a balcony seat
a spotlight
a script annotated with catastrophe

I have decided not to audition

Instead I fold the day like laundry
crease the sharp edges
smooth the small embarrassments
tuck away the almost arguments

The kettle clicks off
the news can wait
my phone rests face down
like a well trained dog

There is nothing heroic in this
just a woman choosing
not to escalate her own pulse

I stand at the sink
hands in warm water
and let the ordinary be enough

If worry knocks
it can do so politely
I will not build it a room

Healing from fear and shame.
I like this

One of the clearest signs that you’re healing is that you’re no longer organising your life around avoiding fear or shame.

You’re willing to get things wrong, to look foolish, to be seen messing up.

You show up even when you’re trembling and unprepared.

You speak without rehearsing every damn line.

You step into new experiences, whether you feel ready or not.

The old sensations still come, of course. The flush of heat. The drop in the stomach. The tightness in the chest.

The voices in the head that sometimes shout.

Good. You’re alive!

But shame is no longer who you are. It’s a visitor. A passing feeling that moves through you.

You stay. You meet it. You breathe. You let it move.

Healing from shame does not mean it disappears completely. It means that you stop obeying it or building your life around avoiding it. You can feel it and keep going. It does not get the final say. It does not pull the strings in your life.

That’s how you know shame is no longer your master:

You can be seen in your imperfection and remain whole.

Look for something beautiful today.
Dwell on it.
Smell the moment
Think of it sinking into all of your cells.
Open to the miracle of today
Be blessed my friends.

We are living in unprecedented times. We are all having lots of intense, complicated feelings. I can’t help believing that the last five years of navigating the grief of losing two children has prepared me for this in a strange way.

I would say this, my friends. Please look for something to be grateful for. See something beautiful and dwell on it. Find the good.

We can do this together.
May the Spirit bless us, every one.
Peace be with you. 🌟🌟🌟🦋🌈

Be kind to yourself.

Be kind to each other, and good. Be kind to yourself, and good, as well. Understand that these two do not have to be mutually exclusive.

It’s ok to allow and express sadness. ❤️❤️❤️ Sometimes I still forget this and work way too hard to put on the happy face. How about you?

If we don't allow ourselves the fundamental honesty of our own sadness, then we miss an important cue to adapt. We seem to be living in an age when we're bombarded with entreaties to be happy, but we're suffering from an avalanche of depression. We're urged to stop sweating the small stuff, yet we're chronically anxious. I often wonder if these are just normal feelings that become monstrous when they're denied. A great deal of life will always suck. There will be moments when we're riding high and moments when we can't bear to get out of bed. Both are normal. Both in fact require a little perspective.

Climate change? Seems like it. I live in Wyoming, it is January, and I have worn my new snow boots exactly two times.

What can we do? All the earth friendly things: but in the meantime why not find the good?
I’m not mad at the fact that I don’t have to walk through feet of snow. Maybe I could enjoy the way it is. Worrying about it only creates a vibration of fear and helps nothing. We have to do everything we can to keep our vibrations positive and high in this wild, wild world we are trying to heal. That’s my two cents, friends.

How about you?

I love this. Think of those you love while falling asleep

Tonight as you lie in bed ready to sleep, think of the people in your life that you care about. One by one, whisper their names, picture them smiling and then offer them your blessings. It beats counting sheep, puts good energy out into the cosmos, and may very well have you drifting off with a smile on your face. —Paul

Feel it. Let it go.
Holding on to emotional energy and keeping it in your body is not good for your physical health. Full moon time is a time for release. 🌟🌟🌟🦋🌈
