An Open Letter

Hi, it’s me again.

 

As these last days and hours of 2017 wind down, I was thinking about the hard truths. Is there order from chaos?

 

Your heart gets broken. No one is rallying around you with the same enthusiasm as with the pain and criticism they brought. Then the day comes when the risk to remain silent and keep your pain buried is more painful than the risk to acknowledge it and find your strength. It takes courage to turn inward, to break apart what you are feeling and to recognize your pain, whatever that may be.

 

My prayer for the remainder of these hours left in 2017 is that heaven hears us. We may feel lost with no cause. We can’t hold onto the past. The best thing we can do is pray that we break our hearts wide open so the whole world falls in.

 

The cool thing about learning how to overcome your fear and negative emotion, you have to be willing to choose love and let go of resentment. It is hard to face the truth and realize your whole life is being done by you, not to you. Get out of your own way. You don’t have to be a victim. It can start today. It doesn’t have to be a resolution. They never work.

 

When we can finally obtain the gift of each situation, we are truly living a peace-filled and blessed life.

 

Happy New Year!
