Strength

Well, there’s some definite food for thought in this one.  I’m willing to bet a lot of us were raised to keep our true feelings tucked away … to pack them down so tightly that no one could ever find them.

This way of living worked for me for a very long time.  Until it didn’t.  At some point, I just couldn’t hold the pain in any longer.  Letting out my memories, experiences and excavating the “buried treasure” of my stuck emotions has taken a lot of time on task, and it’s been messy.  But the tears have washed away a lot of the yuck, and I’ve felt so much lighter in the process.

My whole body finds truth in the idea that “finding the strength to let that pain go is where my power lies.”  May you find strength today in letting go of your stuck pain.

Question:  Is there something in your heart that you’d like to “dig up?”

Food for Thought:  Are you brave enough to look inside and start digging?

Challenge:  Journal about it.  Tell a trusted someone about it.  Go for a walk and scream about it.   When you’re brave enough to do the work, I am convinced that help will come to you.

Long days …

This is me sharing a piece of my original poetry with you, with the hope that on the days that feel so hard that you don’t know how you’ll get up out of bed, or you don’t know if you can bear the pain you feel … that somehow you’ll find the strength, courage and love you need to face another day.

I pray for all the help and love you need to come your way.

May it be so ~
