This year, my friends. Wow. What a year. Amirite?
I remember what I was thinking when taking this photo back in September.
Something like “I have never felt so incredibly loved, held, supported and guided while also feeling called to surrender control + everything I thought I used to know…all at once…in my entire life”
Honestly, the thought was probably more accurately “so incredibly loved, held and guided, and also so…like, WTF?” 😆
Letting go of control is not easy
Especially when faced with circumstances layered with unknowns. That’s when the desire for control kicks in the hardest.
AND I’m learning a better option is to slow down + get curious. To draw closer to God, ask for guidance, and follow the next steps. Seeing what happens. Trusting.
And then trusting that the more I do that, the less I need to worry about all the circumstances outside of my control. This year has been about integration and healing on a level I’ve never experienced before. It’s been so transformative, I cannot even express it. And it’s not “over.” I’m still in the cocoon🐛
The one thing that has remained SO CONSTANT in the journey this year is appreciation for the power of relationship.
Nothing is possible outside of relationship.
We are relational beings living on a planet of billions of life forms that all contribute to life.
Even your body is a community of cells and bacteria and viruses that are all working together. It’s amazing when you think about it.
Life *itself* is relational.
Today, I want to express my appreciation for the relationships I have with all the incredible souls that I get to work with in the practice of acupuncture and Eastern Medicine.
This medicine has kept me rooted in both service and relationship, and it has been such an anchor for me as life takes its twists and turns.
Being able to hold space for someone’s healing is really + truly such a gift 🎁
If I’ve ever worked with you as a client, whether this year or 12 years ago, I am grateful for you!
Thank you for adding to the richness in my life and for trusting me as a practitioner 🧡
And Happy Thanksgiving for those of you who are celebrating!
