Dear Diary: "I see windows where there were once just walls."
Words are a vessel. Let's set sail towards new shores.

25/1/2023
I didn't want to write anything today. 
I thought I was full. 
I thought I’d had enough.
I thought I didn't have anything else to share. 
I was wrong. 
the best things in life happen just a little bit beyond your comfort zone. 
I am living proof.

I did lots of brave things today, and they were easy. 
by which I mean... 
I handled them with aplomb. 
I handled them with grace. 
I handled them with truth, courage & integrity. 
& I took care of myself along the way.

it's really good for me to be busy, active & out of the house. 
I had forgotten how much I love meeting people in person in a work context. 
it's so energizing for me. it's so much fun for me. it's made me remember how much I loved working with a team in an office.

the buzz! the hubbub! 
I thrive here. 
I come alive here. 
with the right people...
THIS IS MY HOME! 
it feels so good to come out of my shell.

being a hermit is my safe mode. 
it's protective; I've needed it as a cocoon. 
I've needed space & time (very) physically alone to metabolize the profound changes that have occurred & GROW.

what excites me is that now I can envisage a different world & way of being: 
one that flows effortlessly from this one... my labours, my struggle, my journey, my reclamation, borne fruit.

I see windows where there were once just walls. the light streams in & I fall to my knees as I bask in its radiance. it isn’t just that I see a way out. I see a way through. I see a way through for us all. & through the windows,so much natural beauty.trees. a valley.a waterfall.

you are so beautiful to me. 
I hope you know it. 
I hope you feel it. 
I hope you treasure it. 
words are a vessel. 
let's set sail towards new shores.
