2 days til Christmas and I’ve decided that my true love is ME!
Today I give myself the gift of tears.
I remind myself that my tears matter and I reject the myth that I have to be or even have the ability to be strong for others.
I release myself from the bondage of pretending that I have it all together and I allow myself in this moment to simply let my heart break.
“To everything there is a season“, and this season brings joy and sorrow. I used to think that I had to choose between the two, this year I’ve decided to embrace both.
When I have dinner with my family, I’m grateful. When I bless my kids, I’m honored. When I open my gifts, I’m humbled. And when I miss my Mommy and my Grandparents, I’m sad … and that is absolutely ok!
Gift yourself with a moment not only to grieve, but to remember.
The pain I feel this season and every season is apart of me now.
No more hiding! No more coping!
This year, I face it and embrace it!
Allow yourself the space and grace that you require.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE STRONG! There is NOTHING to be ashamed of!
You just be you, unapologetically, and if they love you, they’ll accept you right where you are, just as you are!
