“I am a warrior who knows that her pain and fears are her map. It will lead me right toward my purpose and my tribe. Purpose and connection are all we really need down here on earth, and we find them both by following our fears and our pain. In times like this most people see two options: 1). Silence or 2). Rage that adds fuel to the fire, letting it burn if unchecked. But there is a third way. 3). March into fear and pain with eyes and heart wide-open. Stand in the wreckage and believe that your power, your love and your light are stronger than your darkness. Choosing to be compassionate toward yourself in the face of annoying habits, foolish choices, or painful mistakes, is a most courageous act. Choose to love yourself today no matter what. No matter what. No matter what.”
