i met u by stumbling across super soul sunday. i froze. my life froze. my very being froze. you spoke to ME and i listened to you and then i started to listen to myself. i wont be dramatic but suffice to say…way back when, elizabeth gilbert planted a seed in me. it lay dormant till that day when i heard you. i cried and then i sobbed and then i knew. my birthday was coming and i promised myself that i will not celebrate another birthday living in that toxic state. i thank u deeply. i needed that little bit of confidence and reminder that i am worthy of kindness, respect, trust, joy, laughter and my life back. today i ordered love warrior and carry on warrior plus a few others. thank you for helping me to find my way back home.
Grace and peace.
How is it that today looking for something else found this amazing podcast. It is exactly what I needed. Fear will not paralyze me any longer. I choose absolute love above fear. Thank you for your message.
