An Invincible Summer - A Woman's Journey

WORD FOR THE DAY I do not at all understand the mystery of grace--only that it meets us where we are but doesn't leave us where it found us. ANNE LAMOTT What could be more true? Grace started the process of change in a way that nothing else could. The old me was far more negative, self absorbed, fearful (is that even possible?) and blind to the castle walls that had been erected over time. Now I can see over the top of the walls and the view is spectacular! Grace is removing the emotional fortress brick by brick and I could not, despite the pain of self reflection, be more grateful for the destruction. I keep trying....I hope you do too.

Today, I wish each and every one of you love, grace and gratitude. My journey to healing began with gratitude…..a daily effort to reverse my thought process and just find little things to be grateful for. Anything at all: sometimes just a ray of sunshine or a farty little dog. It doesn't matter what....only when and if. With love, grace and gratitude in place, all the other things seem to come easier. Learning to; disagree without ugliness, have boundaries and being able to express them, love others but not give yourself completely away, have a wonderful conversation or act of love instead of buying shit and, especially, learning to allow others to grow at their own pace. I’ve such a long, long way to go.
