Oh. The raw vulnerability is palpable. I have tears and my heart is heavy. I am sending love your way. Love and strength. Please keep going, keep feeling despite the pain. Catch a glimmer and store it in your heart.💖

Thank you Lisa, that piece needed to be freed from the grip of perfectionism and imposter syndrome, I felt exposed writing it, however once I published it I felt relieved. Yes I’m trying to look for glimmers everyday xx

This is so raw, vulnerable and beautiful. I think that many times we want nothing to do with the new beginnings--they are simply thrust upon us, and it's usually only in hindsight that we see how necessary they were.

You mentioned that you practice meditation, but you also mentioned that you are resistant to feeling your feelings about everything rn (which is totally understandable), but I wondered if you had ever tried Tara Brach's loving kindness meditation? As I read your piece, I just kept thinking about how it's you that must shower yourself with the love you need, and that might be an accessible way to begin that process.

I also wonder if you have read the work of Byron Katie? Her book Loving What Is was instrumental in helping me let go of the stories around a failed relationship that were trapping me in suffering.

Thank you for sharing something so personal. Sending you healing and love 🩵

Thank you for such kind words, I haven’t tried Tara Brach’s meditation, so will look her up, and will add Byron Katie’s book to my list of resources ❤️
