To know and love ourselves and others well
Is the most difficult
And meaningful work we'll ever do

"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has - or ever will have - something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression." - Fred Rogers
Coming from a cultural and religious climate that conditions us to believe that we live in scarcity rather than abundance may make us feel like there is not enough room for us to speak, to emote, or to just be our beautiful selves. But there is room, dear one.
Say what you need to say.
Feel what you need to feel.
Be who you are.
There is room at the table for you and more.

i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?
it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere

I think this is a sign that I've finally given the right side of my brain some space to breath and imagine and create.
And then this happened.... But it made me laugh and she was already telling me how we could clean it up and go shopping for new eggs.
Y'all, I'm not a runner. As much as I want to be. I'm just not.
I heard once on a podcast that you have to pretend you're being chased by someone.
Well, that doesn't really work if your default is to just play dead at any sight of a threat. #enneagram9probs
I offer you peace
I offer you love
I offer you friendship
I see your beauty
I hear your need
I feel your feelings
Everyday we invite others to participate in our lives, our conversations, and our routines. We also accept invitations to participate in other people's lives, conversations, and routines. Pay attention to the invitations you are extending and accepting. Whether they are wholesome, healthy, valuing of yourself and the lives around you or destructive, unhealthy and devaluing of yourself and others.

I went to a vigil in Nashville to remember and mourn the lives taken in New Zealand. I met a Muslim single mom who is coming over to dinner soon with her son.
Thought I’d ask on here if anyone else has been to a vigil for the victims. If so I’d love to see your pictures, videos, stories etc.
