My children. My sister and her kids. My parents. My friends. And I need to continue to be gentle with myself. Because we all need each other, and so I want my presence and interactions to be loving, respectful and kind; which come from a well I always need to nurture, the best I can.

Gentleness, hope, forgiveness and love. As well as witnessing the tenacity and courage around me. Listening, laughter and silence, too.

Honestly, I have trouble letting go. So maybe I can make an effort to believe I can a little more. And continue to seek help for it. There’s a gentleness in letting go that I aspire to. When I’m able to, I feel a greater sense of connection…

Opening my heart. To grace and the wisdom that surrounds me. To greater hope and curiosity. To connection with others. To love, especially. And respect, empathy and understanding.

Thank you for the beauty and simplicity in your guidance this past week and this summary of tools. I have found them to be very helpful. Greetings from San Diego. May you and your loved ones be well. Peace.
