Dear One,
Every loss, every transition, every letting go is a New Beginning.
“Every end is a new beginning!” My first writing teacher shared with me 3 decades ago. It was like an eye opener, a complete Aha for me at the time. Today I know my many Letting go experiences have been my Heart Opener.
Dear One,
When you go through a loss or a natural disaster your nervous system is naturally overwhelmed. I urge you to stay away from reading or listening any negative news, people that pull you down, and situations that could bring more drama into your life.
Dear One,
In the year 2000 I entered a phase in my life that is called ‘the Dark Night of the Soul.’ I experienced huge changes. Basically every identity I ever chose or believed in was challenged and removed from my life.
Dear One,
“The only way out is through,” my LA holistic chiropractor Eileen said to me with great compassion many years ago.
I am a tough nut. I signed up for a 17 year long Dark Night of the Soul.
Feel, Feel, Feel All Your Emotions
We feel all the time. Your body is gifted with sensory awareness. The senses such as touch, taste, smell, hearing and seeing, to a varying degree, are always at work. Every moment is like the frame in a film. It is filled with sensory story and feeling. Sometimes it’s one big emotion, other times it is a mix of different ones.
Dear One,
No de-clutter needed! The universe has a sense of humor!
“Can I sit down next to you in the sun?” a gentleman with salt-pepper colored hair and beard asked this Saturday. I sat outside Mugshots, a cute little coffeehouse in Middletown, sipping an extra hot Matcha Latte.
Dear One,
When you experience loss, your ability to handle the ebb and flow of your emotions is critical for your well-being. For those of you who went through the magnitude of a natural disaster, it’s huge. I mean it, it’s huge.
Dear One,
We all long for stability and security. We want certainty. A life that is predictable with as little shifts and changes as possible.
Deep down we long to be safe.
Dear One,
It is so easy to get stuck in difficult situations, especially if they involve loss and letting go. When we are overwhelmed, we often become unaware. We say things from a place of being unconscious.
How often have you heard somebody say: “This happened to me…”
Dear One,
How is your heart today? How are you feeling?
When you go through huge crisis like losing your home and all you owned, it is absolutely disorienting, uprooting and confusing. Remember that over and over!
