I’M SO GLAD
YOU’VE LANDED HERE
I believe with all my soul that we are all connected and that both of our journeys have led us here today. Every challenge, every triumph, every smile and every tear. Has led me to be sitting here writing these words, and you reading them.
My own journey started with food. I spent years in a war with my body, constantly fighting and resisting. Overeating and restricting. Slowly eating away at my own self-worth and self-trust.
I spent years in a war with my mind, plagued with stress and anxiety, overthinking every decision. Every single choice I made was to keep myself safe. But, all of those choices were keeping me from truly living.
I tried everything to break free.
Working with multiple therapists and coaches and healers. But, no matter how much willpower or force I used on myself, I could never seem to create the changes I wanted. I could not move forward.
Overtime, I realized that I had been going about it all wrong. That acting out of fear and punishment wasn’t the way. That maybe I needed to stop forcing and thinking and acting and pushing and start allowing and relaxing and breathing and feeling.
It turns out that what I really needed was my own love. In every moment. At every turn.
My own compassion and acceptance. In every moment. At every turn.
What I really needed was to choose myself. In every moment. At every turn.
Writing reminds me of this every day, because writing brings me back brings me back to myself. It has been there for me every step of the way. Writing has seen me on my best and worst days, and continued to offer its unconditional love. It has been my greatest healer and teacher. I feel most at home when I am writing.
My hope is that you are able to find some healing in the words as well. And that you feel just as at home on this page as I do.
Most importantly, I hope that you remember to offer yourself your own love.
In every moment. At every turn.
Sending love,
