The ability to sit with that sensation.... that takes so so much courage. I love your writing, and your openness and your presence here in this space and I am sending you so much love on this tender day. So grateful for you, always. Xxx

It truly does take so much courage to stay with the pain, the shame, the difficult feelings and look at them directly. It’s even harder to acknowledge that they are present for some reason, and have something to tell us.

Thank you for sharing your first post so tenderly. I look forward to seeing how you’ll move in this space :)

Wow this is exactly how I feel so often. Thank you for sharing it and putting it into words so beautifully. I have not thought about sitting with these feelings in quite that way, and definitely will the next time they (inevitably) come. Thank you for this.

The power of that last line! Whew!

As always, thank you for your honesty. Compassionate touch and listening to the self is often hard to do in a society where slowing down or showing pain or fear is frowned upon so thank you for the reminder. I’m so pleased to be able to read your writing on a regular basis now . Sending love as always xx
