Growth Edges

There are moments when staying awake to our own path and unfolding can feel unbearable. The discomfort in accepting certain truths makes us want to run for the hills, close our eyes, turn back, will it away, go into some sort of illusionary hiding.

Standing courageously at the threshold of our growth edges, stepping forward, crossing through, confronting fear, vulnerability, anger, rage, heartbreak, grief, anything and everything that simply must be felt, fully, in order to be released, is one the greatest acts of self love and care I can think of.

Loving yourself fully in all your wounds and patterns, light and shadow, is no simple or direct path. It moves in twists and turns, hills and valleys, chaotic spirals, often completely misunderstood by our minds. A complete and total mystery, surrendering all we think we know about what lies ahead.

I believe walking our own unique path, moment by moment, breath by breath, feeling by feeling is a great act of service, and gives permission for others to do the same!

We get to decide what love looks and feels like and how we give that love to ourselves and eventually offer that love to the world. Just by walking our own path, being fully and authentically ourselves in each unfolding moment.

Drop inward. Feel it all. Keep going. Giddy up! I believe in us!
