Hi Holly, been a long time reader and lurker. I just wanted to send positive vibes of healing your way. I know it's been a rough time for you and I was in the place as you for many years too.

It's going yo take a long time to start to really love yourself again but take a small step toward that everyday. Think of this simple math expression, 365^1 = 365. That's 365 days of doing nothing different. Now if you made one small change the expression becomes 365^1.01 and that equals 387. That tiny change, as simple as not having that extra drink tonight or going for a short hike every day can radically alter your life over time. It's all small steps.

People like us pour our souls into the stories and words we write, and we give it our all. We deplete ourselves like a Shaman that gives his/her life force to thousand's of people in need. Our spirits need healing too. Please be kind to yourself, there's only one of you in this world and we want you to be around for a long time.

I wish you peace and clarity. {{hugs}}
