Light + Neutral

Feeling neutral and light from a night of glitter throwing with some of the best of friends doing the metaphorical theory I live by… when you throw glitter the light catches it so beautifully you almost forget the shade behind it. ✨

I once wrote a blog about living with the wise words of Eleanor Roosevelt surrounding me as I slept in a room built for her during her stay in Louisville. 💛

While I’m growing through this, I’m taking her gumption with me; “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” 🙏

Getting Ready to Jump

“Emotional discomfort, when accepted, rises, crests and falls in a series of waves. Each wave washes a part of us away and deposits treasures we never imagined. Out goes naivete, in comes wisdom; out goes anger, in comes discernment; out goes despair, in comes kindness. No one would call it easy, but the rhythm of emotional pain that we learn to tolerate is natural, constructive and expansive… The pain leaves you healthier than it found you.” - Beck ___________________ There are two ways ...
