Courage

"The Paradox of the Prophets:  The flip side of carrying pain is this extraordinary gift of holding a spreading joy" ~ Glennon Doyle

This is the first braid I have cut off.  I dedicate it to courage. 

I am deciding to LEAN IN to the extent that I can to this life, including this season of traveling through the tunnel of cancer treatment.  

This will take courage--feeling the fear and doing it anyway.  

I accept that living is uncomfortable.  I embrace that healing means changing, it means releasing what no longer serves me, even when I don't think I want to.

I am imperfect.  My health is also not perfect.  

I am willing to be more fully seen, to be vulnerable. 

I am ready to ask for what I want. 

I open my eyes more fully to witness what is inside and around me. 

I am inspired by this song:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMZvoEj4iig

​May you have courage.

I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. You have been so strong and such a rock for so long and for so many people. It hurts my heart to know that there is yet another need for you to focus your strength when you have already given so much. I am praying for your perfect outcome and journey.
