Silence

Silence is a powerful tool. Helping others by being with them in silence allows them to open up to their healing.

Grieve

I am beginning to recognize that some part of me was shut down in dealing with my sister's illness. I now understand that it is o.k. to grieve this loss and that it will take time to heal. I feel this has been going on for some time. It is a bit uncomfortable, but this is my beginning.

Allow yourself to grieve.

Finish Line

Writing this book was a deep emotional process. I questioned myself many times whether or not to complete it. It took 10 years to make the decision. Save yourself some time and push through the pain and get to the good stuff.

Even if it hurts, finish what you start. It may feel good when you are done.

Acceptance

Accept your shortcomings.

Blessings.

People

Love people as they are.

Revisit

Hi. I am revisiting the text from Letters to My Sister.

Don't be afraid to revisit previous experiences. You will see how much emotional progress you have made.

Complete

We are complete beings everyday. Know that when difficulty or sadness surrounds you brighter days are ahead. This is growth. The blossom is sweet.

I am complete.

Awakening

Hi folks, glad to be back.

I was awakened when I realized what was driving my actions. Sometimes my feelings did not even make sense to me and now that I understand what drives them, it's easier to redirect decisions and move through being 'stuck.'

Feelings, behaviors and past emotional experiences may drive your actions. Say to yourself, "I can move through this, it is not rational and I need to get 'x' done."

Blessings.
