A
man said to me, "Hey sis! Listen you must be doing something right, or in
your past helped another, so keep doing whatever it is.,. Cause its evident.
Have a good day!
Man that touched me in so many places. This
week alone I needed that warmth. I had a serious setback in my personal life
not to mention an illness (that I can't shake at the moment). I, at the
time remained unable to figure out how to make it through other things
necessary for the week and month. My decision or lack of response would
happen in 10 minutes or less. I say ten minutes because it took about
three to grasp what was really happening and being stated to me and two more to
listen to it being conveyed I had only one minute to resolve.
I am thankful for my purpose. I am equally thankful
for my close, personal and extended friends I have here in my life.
A few years back, I questioned and doubted
my purpose, even life itself but a big difference, is the people I've met on
this journey moving forward, the ones in my life, who become what I call my
"Safe Circle" now hold me up. Without me asking - when and if I get
weak, depressed, unmoved, whether I'm hurting, overwhelmed, anxious, stagnant,
troubled or over-extending myself ( as passionate people do from time to
time).
What makes my "Safe Circle"
different now vs. Back then during my trauma(s)? Good question.
Well instead of turning/walking away and talking about me like others in
my past...they talk to me, walk with me stand in the gap for me and hold my
hand when needed, give me hugs ( I love and thrive off hugs! ) cause they know that’s what
moves me...
I have made it #Fullcircle
The amazing thing is I was one person,
alone providing all those things, standing up and in the gap for individuals
and strangers, (who have touched my heart and remain), giving what I couldn't
get after being raped... and again after my son died. It was in those times,
what I needed most was love, encouragement, hugs, and words of
affirmation.
Through my trials I learned how to heal
daily. Now I help others create,
identify, maintain their own "Safe Circles" and take their own individual
steps to heal daily.
All the love care support- I've given to so
many is now continuously given to me and I am thankful.
I wanted to share this short note because I
was asked how and why I am able to keep moving and I am always encouraged by
others and sometimes their energy gives me the strength to move when I feel I can’t.
I still get hurt, just recently I might
add but I am still here. I believe what I teach. You are bigger than your
circumstance or situation and so am I , The teacher just needed a little nudge
and reminder , so thank you universe
thank you for providing a way for me to see and become Thankful once
again.
