Let The Healing Happen Naturally
Lessons of A Life Coach
During one of the extremely rough patches in my life, I sat alone in my room at a Women’s Shelter, fearful and lost.?Broken and bruised on the inside.?It was like being a bird with broken wings but a bird that never really flew.
Months passed as I engaged all the healing that was presented and available.?The thought of leaving the same person as entered was not one I could willingly tolerate. Some of the women didn’t bother to take the opportunity to search for themselves, and that is sad because one never knows when a similar opportunity would arrive again.
For those who wanted their wings mended and those who wanted to fly, they gave it their all.?
During some quiet time, I came across the words ‘She designed A life She loved’ and those six words became my mantra and my mission.?I pondered the idea of what that would look like to me, a life I designed, every aspect mine, a life worth living.
Even though I was exhausted and overwhelmed from my latest journey, I knew I had to write those words down and read them as many times as I could.?It was months before I could catch a glimpse of something I could create. Months before those words would embed their meaning into my heart and soul and begin to build a new foundation, molecule by molecule.
When all that you have ever known is gone, and all you thought you were has vanished, and all those who filled your voids and stole your life are no longer, and the need for ‘you’ has gone by the wayside, the stillness is?‘eerie’.?There is numbness in the silence, a vulnerable nakedness likened to that of a newborn baby, without the innocence, but very much the same in the fragile dependency on those around you.

?It is imperative in this delicate state that you wrap a soft blanket gently around your shoulders, put on some soothing music, make some tea, and let the hamster wheel come to a grinding halt.?You may need to do this numerous times before you even feel human again and that is okay. Rome is already built, no need to dive into the abyss and exert more energy into the nothingness you feel you now own.??
Be still; accept professional guidance and insight where you can, give the videos in your mind time to run their course, and let?your feet?find the ground.?You will know when you can stand, just as you will know when your tea is finished, and you no longer need your soft blanket.?Others cannot tell you this nor do you need them to, you will know.
From where you are standing at this moment, it might be difficult to see the road that leads to the Sunrise, but believe me, there is one.?I speak from experience. So, when you are ready – you can begin to build that new foundation, molecule by molecule, piece by piece until finally, you feel ready to Design the Life you will Love.
I am still building mine and am open to sharing it with you. Feel free to message me! Until then...toward the Sunrise, I go.
Warm Regards,
