I've been ruminating over something for days, turning it over in my mind, trying to find the best words, the right way.
Well, duh.
What do I preach here? What do I encourage you to do? Be honest. Be true. Be you.
So, this morning, I cracked open my heart a bit and let the light pour in. I stopped trying so hard and just let myself be.
And now? I feel free.
that respects you
while respecting myself,
the kind that unknots my stomach
and unclenches my teeth
and relaxes my shoulders,
the kind that loves enough
to let go.
Have you been hanging on to something that weighs you down?
Maybe it's time to lighten your load.

Isn't it funny how we can get
clipped by dishonesty inside ourselves
and not even know it.
One layer of the onion
at at time, I suppose.
I keep thinking how wonderful it
feels to get free
and then have the same experience
again
soon after,
each "get free" feeling a ton lighter
than the "get free" I've been walking in!
I love that the process
is the point:)
love you Amanda,
