…and what a year it has been.
Reverb10. December 31.
Core story. What central story is at the core of you, and how do you share it with the world? (Bonus: Consider your reflections from this month. Look through them to discover a thread you may not have noticed until today.) (from Molly O’Neill)
Digging deeper – always
Growing
More love – there can never be enough love
Letting go then
hanging on
Finding trust
Finding my feet
Again and again
Finding my way
Another detour
and another
until I learn there is no such thing
Spiraling into myself
ever deeper
finding truth
finding trust
finding power
finding gentleness
Learning yes
then no
Sharing more than many want to hear
Sharing myself
Holding space
Holding hands
Seeking
Growing
Digging deeper
Holding hands
Holding space
Learning to love
Myself.

Alana,
You are a gift. Beyond what you can measure.
Here’s to 2011 and trusting that souls find their ways to each other. You are a reminder of that for me in 2010.
Love you,
Somer

It is your writing that is a privilege, not our presence. Happy New Year to you, and may you continue to create beauty.

Would that we could always bear witness to our own process with as much honesty and integrity as you do!
Happy New year, blessed new beginnings. The page is clean and new…

And thank you to you for “Sharing more than many want to hear” because this space is for you, and only incidentally for us. You share so much beauty here, especially in the words that are hard to hear (read), because these words are your soul.
Cheers to you and a beautiful year of healing and growing and learning and sharing for you, my dear.
Love & Light!
Sarah Jane says
I love and cherish you, forever.
