Real Talk

Real talk. I’m exhausted and not well emotionally regulated right now.

IFKYK.

Having to question what is true, if what I just read could possibly be true, and what is truly happening has me spinning. All the while, showing up to work, to church, for my family.

Today, I wished my kid happy birthday on the wrong day. OOOF! In the swirl, my dates were mixed up and blew it.

This is a prayer for all of the tender-hearted.

May you find a way to float without getting swallowed by the waves of overwhelm.

May you easily love on others without losing the way to your own heart.

May your desire to act with compassion be as loud as the voice of your own needs.

May the best in humanity be seen everywhere you go while the evil is overcome by goodness.

May your heart be unscarred by the breaks so that forgiveness is easy.

May you receive the warmth that you give in such abundance that it wraps around you in the late and lonely hours of despair.

May you know that you are beloved and your mistakes are the least important part of you.
