HEALING

Healing is also our responsibility.  That we be proactive in our healing. Like surrounding ourselves with soft places to fall and people who will support us no questions asked.   

However, it is also our responsibility to include in our inner circle, people who have proven that they have no agenda other than to wish the best for us, to kick our behind when we need it.  It is not helpful to surround ourselves with people that simply agree with us – it isn’t healthy and it isn’t what we need – we need someone around us who will be brave enough to tell us the truth – always in a loving way of course, but the truth nonetheless.

Here’s a sample of a figurative kick in the pants, as it asks that you keep things in perspective.  And I offer this because I have no agenda other than to wish the very best for you.

”Losses aren’t cataclysmic if they teach the heart and soul their natural cycle of breaking and healing. A real tragedy? That’s the loss of the heart and soul themselves. If you’ve abandoned yourself in the effort to keep anyone or anything else, unlearn that pattern. Live your truth, losses be damned. Just like that, your heart and soul will return home.”              —Martha Beck
