Blog Thoughts: Patience

I keep sharing thoughts around the holiday season, for it is so very important. While it may seem all jolly, there are many more who struggle deeply this time of year. We are slammed with the idea of family time, but we need to speak more to chosen family and beyond the barriers of traditional family. In that starts with healing. Many of us are walking healing journeys that need to be honored. Healing is a journey not a destination, it is a constant. We can't magically turn it off for a holiday season, and in fact it is so much worse this time of year. Our wounds, our darkness and our pain are intensified beyond what we can often breathe through on most days. So, be patient. Be patient with yourself. Be patient with those in your life around you. Be patient with the strangers you meet daily. Walk together through the natural flow of the journey and trust we will all make it through.
