Healing: Part 1- The Breaks

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on break. Not the kind where you’ve left your “real” life to spend time in life’s abundance and joy, but the kind where something that was solid was reduced to its base parts. Or the type where a deep fracture finally gave way. Or the kind where the fumes and gases finally erupted a delicate seal.

Yeah, that kind of break.

Some of you may have seen it coming for a long time through my past year’s writings of the nature of love, coming into my own, authenticity, and honoring my self. All of that ruminating swelled inside of me and finally pushed me to action. It was a break through.

However, a break means an opportunity to heal. Not so that thing can return to its former state, but so that it can be mended stronger, more durable, more cognizant of its glory and its fragility. Simply put, it heals so that it knows that it’s alive and can move forward being its beautiful self. And that’s where I am, on the journey of healing.

Now some things to note.

• I am in the beginning stages of this journey. I have more questions than answers. I have as many fears as I do certainties. You will not find a guide in me. You will simply see my truth and process.
• I am not going to divulge details of exactly what is going on in my life. Those of you that know me offline will understand.** Those of you that don’t what I’m talking about may miss my candor. I hope you accept me where I’m at.
• I am committing to writing and not running away from my blog when it gets hard or when I feel less than the spiritual, clear, grounded woman who I may portray to be. I am anxious and worry too much about what people think, but writing is too much who I am. I need it and you need to read an authentic blog, not just the best and beautiful parts of people’s lives. Oh, and I’ve entered into a friendly competition so I have consequences for not writing. Y’all know how I need consequences.

So are you in? Let’s see what this month of healing brings.

**If we talk outside of this blog, feel free to reach out. I feel weird about sending announcements of what’s going on, but I’m happy to talk offsite.
