Man, oh man, friends!
I have so much to share with you and say! I finished writing my new book, "Taking MY Voice Back; Healing What Broke Me" and let me tell you, I AM EXCITED.
Here's a picture of the bundle I created for people who are purchasing the book early, how cute, right?? ?
I feel like there were so many times in my journey that I felt like I would never really get to peace in my soul. I knew I healed, but I just felt like I would always be wounded.
To be honest and frank, I firmly believed that were parts of me that were just unhealable. And I was wrong.
I know that cheesy phrase, "time heals all wounds.." I just did not believe time would heal the wounds that were super far deep and barried so far down.
As time went on, I became more jaded towards people. I became jaded towards the world.
I was doing all the things. I was praying, going to church, practicing kindness, going to therapy, and writing it out but along the way- I learned that therapy was not about digging into my past, but more about digging into how I currently felt about stuff.
The last 11 months of therapy have been wild for me because I have let LEAPS of healing but I also recongized today that I still have ways to go to ensure I have the tools for the future. It's not that I have leaps of healing to do so that I don't re-live the past, it's more that I have leaps to do to provide healthy tools in my belt so I do not feel the weight of the world's swing.
Crazy thinking, right? The world leaves us jaded and bitter sometimes. It leaves us tired and exhausted. Life is simply hard but we also do not have to live our life with bitterness on our sleeve.
That's where I was the last three years. In bitterness.
But I realized, I cannot play both the victim and the victor in my story. I could not live in bitterness and in joy.
And it was not and is not as simple as, "Shake it off" by Tay Tay Swift.
Sometimes it requires us to get in the mud and deal with it. We often have to put our big kid boots on and say what's hurting us and why, and then work through it.
Pushing off the pain does nobody any good.
So, friend, with that. What are you needing to work on today?
