Thank you, Sondra. I so can relate to what you write, it resonates with my life. When I was a teenager, I dreamed of being sealed in my room with only a small hole to pass me plates of food. I know it's weird but I think it shows how scary the world outside was to me. I've only started to voluntarily step outside every day last september because I love to walk and my body was telling me I needed to. Plus, I wanted new things to enter in my life so I made one big change to invite the new into my life.
I love the way you expressed rain in your post: "And yes, rain is needed, even the torrential downpours. While it makes the weeds grow faster, it’s cleansing and makes them easier to extract by the roots. Thus, removing all that doesn’t serve me. And there’s an added bonus. It makes me appreciate the sun that much more." All this is so true and I'm sure you were writing it with the analogy of "tears" instead of rain and "happiness" instead of sun but it stroke me how acurate that analogy is, especially the "easier to extract roots". When we accept the vulnerability of crying, it is so much easier to let go, afterwards... Thank you so much for sharing. Lots of love.
I love the analogy to tears and happiness. Thank you. And so appreciate your sharing your teenage experience. The outside world or anything outside of our comfort zone is scary. I love that you voluntarily made change by walking outside!! That’s such a huge step! Literally and figuratively! It’s difficult for our brain to get past the fear sometimes of doing something new! Bravo!! Much love to you!!
