Family.
“The descendants of a common ancestor” is one of the meanings the dictionary lists.
In addition to “blood”, I know “family” to be the people with whom I choose to keep healthy bonds, commitments and traditions regardless of background, heritage, ethnicity, etc.
There are people in my life whom I consider family; they aren’t “blood” and, at times, they’ve been more present in all the ways when blood couldn’t or chose not to be.
There have been those whom I became so attached to, but they didn’t share the same vibes or sentiments. That’s extremely painful…and quite a lesson – EverY time!
My nature is such that I love ALL people (thanks to my Dad) and most animals (thanks to my Mom!).
Learning and reLearning healthy boundaries…sigh. Finally accepting behaviors instead of just listening to words without supporting evidence/matching behavior.
Loving fully and freely – first myself, so that I can then from a healthy place love others well.
I AM loving myself first.
I AM loving myself fully and freely ~ the way The Divine loves me.
I AM taking care of myself in ALL the ways.
Are you in a place that feels like repeat? It is alright.
Grace upon grace to you fellow Warrior!
Are you prioritizing your own health ~ spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally, relationally, financially?
If not, how can you take one step today towards healing? Remember, small steps towards big change!
