I needed this one tonight, Kelly. I’ve been struggling lately and finally wrote about it for this week’s post. HP seems to be always hanging around when I need it the most. Maybe I’ll start paying attention! xoxo
Always powerful writing Kelly. Your whole and true self belong here, we see you through your writing. Hope you keep sharing your journey 💫💫
I had a rather similar breakthrough in therapy recently when I realised that my anxiety - which I used to see as something to get rid of - is actually my biggest ally. If I looked back at the times in my life when I suffered from anxiety the most, I could see that anxiety came up because I was betraying myself, steering away from my true principles. It came to rescue me. What a lesson.
What you just said about anxiety! Wow! I had no idea until last week when I was watching an episode of The Chosen, that I had been seeing my relationship to anxiety inside out. I saw it as something wrong with me, something that I needed to fix. NO! It’s is gift. It shows me precisely where I am betraying myself. What an ally!
Yes Kelly. Awareness of the patterns laid down in my alcoholic highly dysfunctional family, along with years of extreme religious influence and patriarchal spirituality taught me how to spot people and situations who ARE good for me. What a spin? Yes?
Beautiful reflection about the role of shame in your life and relationships- and how you e learned to respond to it with compassion for yourself. Yes doggone it, people do like you and most importantly, you like yourself ❤️
Kelly! I love reading your words and watching my own freedom “from” seep out between the words and lines. You write for me. You write for so many of us. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Glad to be of service. In the meantime, I’ll hit you up on how to wrangle 100 paid subscribers.❣️
You have to bug people, run ridiculous sales at rock bottom prices and not be afraid to beg!

Boom! Amazing how what we wish to reject is here to serve us!

Interesting. I think we instantly recognize a message with depth and weight.
Precisely what I mean.
