Dear Weary Soul,
No one can know the struggles you are working hard to get through every day. It is so hard to be a human being.
Just for today . . . please make the choice, dear friend, to take really good care of you. Just for today, remember all that you’ve already conquered, and that you are strong enough to get through this too. Just for today, think once again of all the beauty that surrounds you and all that there is to be thankful for. Today, give yourself some grace, and give yourself a break . . . you are doing so much better than you think you are doing.
Whatever it is . . . that decision, that difficult situation, that person, that news or that pain . . . especially if you are feeling great unhappiness, hopelessness, as if the loss is too great, the burden is too much . . . please just focus on today, okay? You can do today. You can. You are brave enough for today. You are beloved. You are seen. You matter.
In times like these, you just have to remember to STAY brave. You have to remember to go from step one to step two. Lots of times you can get completely stuck on step one . . . and then becoming is incomplete.

It’s ok to spend some time with your feelings. Feelings are good. Anger is good and sadness is even good . . . it’s a step to where we are going.
You just need to remember that it is only a step . . . and as soon as it’s time, you must take the next one.
Stay brave, dear soul.
You are so very loved.

My soul yearns for
stillness, for a space, a garden or a forest,
where I can be silent and by doing so I
come to a deeper sense of my myself
and my place in the universe.
Sometimes I’m weary. It all just stacks up. Disappointments, living with a Old Man (who's behavior is horrible) mountains of work to do, worries about life, short tempers, it just piles on. In those moments, when each step feels like a trudge through wet, sticky, deep marshy ground, I search for words lift my soul and lighten my feet.
