Loving this song’s message on EVERY level this morning.
Oh how I miss this space. ♡
“Mommying” in every direction as of late. Working on being intentional.
Still have this fantasy of a white or dark knight who musters up and says, “I’m picking up this side of the box. Let’s roll.”
I see so much potential in the best of places, yet I’m drawn to Him. I pray its known.
Until then I do what needs done. Normal. Everyday. Girl.
Yours.

Great song, first I’ve heard of the artist – and wonderful lyrics. Perhaps the best lyrics come from you, which is “Until then I do what needs done. Normal. Everyday. Girl.” ~ which just happens to be the best type of girl in the world 🙂 Cheers to a great week ahead!

Beautiful song, thank you for sharing. Recently I’ve been practicing mindfulness and self-compassion (something that was totally foreign to me) and I finished a long-overdue letter to myself that was therapeutic. The words to this song spoke to my heart.

I, too, needed to sit upon the sadness I created myself. A letter is a wonderful place to begin healing. I hope you feel a positive change ahead.
These words in this particular song are precious to me. Something I want to hear and needed to understand. Hugs to you. Peace for your journey.
Nice of you to stop in. Hi, I’m Audrey.

Hi Audrey, it’s so nice to meet you! The letter was a task assigned on a women’s retreat this summer and while I wasn’t able to finish it during the event I promised myself I would. Hugs right back at you!! ~Steph

I’ve lead a few women’s retreats in my time. I fear it’s time I go for me. Always worth the effort when time allows.

This was my first one and it was so worthwhile. The women I met were phenomenal and we continue to lift one another up through our WhatsApp group. It’s so good hearing their voices. Wished I would have went sooner but I’m so fortunate to have had the opportunity.

Very good people, those who feel empathy for others, often forget to be kind to themselves. They get lost in the needs of others because the circumstances of other people appear dire. They deny their themselves that special friendship and comfort zone of someone on whom they can lean. Audrey, I’m so glad you’ve recognized that you are every bit as wonderful and significant as everyone. I still believe that special someone is out there for you, both the friend on whom you can lean and the lover who sees your inner and outer beauty. You may have to let go and allow that vulnerable part of your soul to show.

Yes, Shari. This is my own doing partly because I’ve not been shown or offered another way. It also comes naturally. Trust, for me, was broken early on, so love seems entirely conditional upon what I do. When I finally felt loved, and then to learn it wasn’t really love but once again conditional upon my adoration and time, I lost trust in trust again. I pray every day and seek to try again. I am worthy of true love. I’m open and vulnerable.
Thank you for being a friend to me.

People who are often overwhelmed by helping others, are so because they are selfless and they are very good at providing that help. I hope the knight sees the value in that.

I’ve done a fair amount of people watching in my time, Dan. He’ll find me second nature and not skip a beat. My prayer. Thank you for seeing me.

I’ve learned that white knights don’t usually show up until your life is Filled-to-Overflowing. Then you wonder for an instant where you’ll find time for anything — or anyone. But you do. Hang in there, my friend!

Afraid at this point his arrival may be tougher on him than I. He won’t know what hit’em. Smiles. Thanks, Debbie.

Why fear letting it be known that you are a P.L.P. – both a Public Leaning Post and a Poor Lonely Person? Exploring whatever is holding you back can be salutary.

Looking forward to the sultry strike.
