None of us need to be strong in the face of fear and loss. THE lesson of My Life - feel the feelings. Those of us especially with firm boundaries and strange/powerful childhood experiences need to understand our shadows as well as our superpowers. The Universe has sent me empath after empath to show me how Humans can SURVIVE their feelings. Hell, I even birthed one. Surviving my feelings was just something I knew I wasn't brave enough to do. So I hid behind 'Strong' and wore it like the armour it was. Until I was exhausted from the weight of it and was made to set it down. Open hearts and open hands require first of all Self-Care. Self-Love. I know this from over 25 years as a nurse who suffered burnout more times than I can count. But we can rest. Leave your boxes for a day or two - it's not like they're going any place. Take a real staycation in your lovely new home. <3 May your heart find rest. May your soul find peace. May your body heal. May you feel the love of all who love you. <3
