Healing Spirit

you are loved, and you are always enough

“…when I look at narcissism through the vulnerability lens, I see the shame-based fear of being ordinary. I see the fear of never feeling extraordinary enough to be noticed, to be lovable, to belong, or to cultivate a sense of purpose.”

— Brene Brown, Daring Greatly

6 days until I finish this never ending (finally ending) degree. It’s been 6 years and I have 6 days left. I’m in my usual state of mentally and emotionally spiraling before finishing a milestone and this is the worst because this is it, the whole thing. The end of it, not just a part or piece of it. I just need to get through 6 days.

Daily reminder!

[healing-spirit]

all of us want the same things.

to feel good enough.

to be loved and feel worthy of love.

to feel safe and secure.

to feel cared for and understood.

to feel like we matter.

to feel like we have a purpose and reason to be alive.

let us always try to remember this.

Just a gentle reminder that things are hard right now and self care isn’t always the easiest during these times, but just do your best and even if you don’t achieve your daily goals, you still deserve love. Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing your best.

wouldn’t it be nice to just be above it all right now, to be able to look down at life with such perspective...

[healing-spirit]

It’s been about a year since I’ve really been active here. I lost myself for a little while there, but I am finding myself again. It has been a difficult year.

Even admist the feelings of pain, suffering, grief, and loneliness that I can feel collectively for all humans due to the current public health concerns, Spring is offering me grace, finding me, inviting me to see the sun again. Isn’t it ironic how, in our loneliness, we come to discover a collective humanity? We come to not only understand, but feel into the human condition. In disconnect we recognize how important that connection is with one another. We are all feeling the challenge of holding both grief and hope in the same space in our heart. It is not always easy, but there is room for all of it, if we can allow it in.

Closing and opening. Folding and unfolding. Contracting and expanding. Collapsing and rejuvenating. Falling apart and coming together. Coming and going. Ebbing and flowing. Dying and living. Resisting and accepting. This is the flow of life.

“This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.”

— John Muir
