“Healing isn’t possible within our denial and fear. It’s only possible within openness and honesty, within our willingness to look at the truth of our reality ~past and present~and to accept it for what it is without letting it define who we are right now. We are not our struggles or our heartbreak. Yes, our experiences influence how we grow and who we grow into. But ultimately who we are, is who we decide to be, because of and despite everything we’ve been through. Our power lives in our choice. We can choose to face our pain without judgment. If we decide to. And we can commit to loving ourselves through it all. As much as possible, no matter what. Love…self-love transforms and this is how we create a safe place inside ourselves, to heal.” XO
