When you grow old, you will realize you will have to befriend yourself,

you have to find peace within it, enrich with whatever it needs to grow, be comfortable around it,

and you will understand the moments you spend with yourself aren’t minutes of loneliness,

but rather your way of salvation, of figuring things out, of learning new things, of discovering more yourself,

of facing your darkness or running to your world of dreams, you will understand there’s no escape from yourself,

you will eventually have to immerse within it, live with it, adapt to it,

and it takes effort, a huge one,

but that’s your real journey to healing.

~Yasmine Lasheen

simple melodies of kind affirmations may be just what is needed….

inquiry for today~ and where did you linger for nurturing today?

winter’s hope

Our strength will continue

if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared,

weak,

and vulnerable.

~Melody Beattie
