Amid rest and healing, you can find that there is strength within you. In the resting, you can find the softness of acceptance. In the healing, you can see the softness of flexibility and resilience. In the process, you can find that “soft” is what you need—it is that gentle force that will lead you to your Self. Be gentle to who you are becoming.

Messy? Yes, life is one big mess! We spend our time mopping the floor with our tears and sweeping the remnants of healing.

I have never regretted a tear, a smile or an apology. Those are the gems of a life freely lived. A real, authentic life.
