Someone dear to me recently said "I can't sit with this" after experiencing a difficult situation. Man, did I feel it in my bones immediately. I understood exactly what they meant because I have felt it more times than I could ever recall. My emotions have always been too big for me and I haven't been able to sit with most of them until the past few years and after loads of therapy and a commitment to practice self care and love.
The truth I now know is this:
These moments won't break us if we tend to ourselves with great love and care.
After my divorce over a decade ago, I was broken in ways I never knew I could be and was crushed with depression and despair.
Then, I came across these words and they quickly became my mantra 💖
God(LOVE) is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18
Simply put, LOVE is always right there with you and will never forsake you. You simply must SEE its light.
Pain, depression, anxiety and addiction can blind us to LOVE'S magnificence, but they will never quell Love's fire within. We sometimes just must sit and let it rise above all the pain and noise so that we can feel and experience its radiance.
My work in the world is to help people feel safe enough to sit with all that is and let it move through them instead of allowing it to take up residency in the body as pain, disease, anxiety and depression.
If you feel heartbroken and crushed with despair, I'm here and would love to be of service.
I offer private sessions, group sessions and weekend retreats for those who need more 💖

ps- if you feel brokenhearted today (I often do), get your feet on the grass and face to the sun. Let the birdsongs, gentle breeze and warmth of the sun do their things 🔆
