“The love expressed between women is particular and powerful because we have had to love in order to live, love has been our survival.”
Audre Lorde
Hey there!
This is going to be short and sweet. How are you doing today? Really? Have you given yourself the time to really think about what is going on with you? Or did you jump right into taking care of everyone around you. Don’t get me wrong. I do the same thing! I was moving so fast a few months ago that I simply had to stop. Actually, the state of my mind and body forced me to stop. You know what I mean. I was exhausted and “sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
I sat in a big comfy chair in my bedroom. As the sun shined on my face, I gave myself permission to stop and think. Imagine. I had to give myself permission to think! I finally acknowledge to myself that I was in trouble
I texted a couple of friends. Immediately my friends sprang into action to support and offer comfort. Why? I imagine they recognized where I was. They’ve been there before.
Now back to you. I want you to take time now. Yes, now. Pray. Meditate. Chant. Journal. Whatever it will take to allow you to feel you. If you are happy, rejoice. If you are not okay, be okay with not being okay. I am not a therapist. I am, however, familiar with not taking time for myself and paying the price!
My dream for this blog is to connect when around the world via our shared stories and shared humanity. My message is “We’ve got you?”
Your SisterFriend,
Belinda
