May You Find Healing

-


We often feel entitled. We think when we are wronged, somehow, we are owed something. An apology. Retribution. Pity. Favour by the Universe. Anything. However, if we were to be honest, we really are not owed anything by others or the Universe for that matter. What we do owe to ourselves is healing. 

Life happens. And by no means is this said to diminish anyone’s pain or heartache. But the sad reality is this: People will hurt us at some point. And most often, it will be people we least expected it from. This pain will cut deep. And you will weep from a place you never knew existed inside you. This pain will keep you awake at night and torture you in your sleep. But this pain will deserve to be felt. 

What I have learned in my lifetime is that we are all capable of inflicting such pain on others. Sometimes we apologize and make amends. Other times we burn our bridges and move on. And in some cases, we feel that we do not owe anyone any explanation for our words or actions. So when others hurt us, why do we feel they owe us anything? Why do we often wish that they too experience pain?

In the last few months, I have experienced pain. From friends and family. Some of this will stay with me for as long as I live. Some of it has changed me forever. Some of it has taken away from me. And some of it, has helped build me. Through this, I have come to know that only I can help heal myself; that decision ultimately lies solely with me. You maybe think differently, and that is okay, but I know this to be true for me. I cannot place anyone else responsible for the healing that must take place within me. I can seek guidance from others, or even support, but I cannot expect anyone else to start this process for me. It starts with and within me. 

The definition of healing is defined as ‘the process of making or becoming sound or healthy again.’ What is implied and not stated is that that process is innate. Therapy or others around you can help you. Enlighten you. But that process has to come from within. 

I guess this post was simply to let you know that however dark it may seem in your world at this moment, you are still here to witness it. And after the darkness, light always flows. Regardless of the time that is spent waiting on that light; light surely flows. 

I pray that whatever situation you find yourself in today; that you may soon see the light shine through. But I pray that light emanates from within. 

May you close doors that no longer serve you or your happiness. 
May you find peace when others have wronged you. 

But most of all, may you find healing.

What Susie says about Sally...

‘What Susie says about Sally, says a lot more about Susie than it says about Sally.’ I came across this and thought it would be a sin not to post this. I know I have written about this before but I thought I should say something about it again. How quick are we to judge others? It really takes nothing nowadays for someone to say something bad about someone else. It has become almost second nature to open our mouths and to spread a story about someone else. In most cases, it does not even concern us at all. We spend way too much time concerned with the lives of others when we should be focused on making our own lives better. And it is true, what you say about someone else really does say more about you than it does about them. If you make it a habit of spreading stories, lies, rumours, whatever it may be, soon, you will have a reputation. And no one will believe you when you bad mouth others, because they already know that you have a reputation of doing so. The bottom line is t...

The clouds will fade...

I love rainy days. Days like today. I love them. The air seems so much cleaner. I inhale it and I feel alive. I feel alive. Rain has a cleansing effect. It falls down to the Earth and wipes all the dirt away. It penetrates the ground and works its way through every soil granule and blade of grass it can find. It leaves its mark on everything it touches. It cleanses. And then, it makes way for growth. That is what rain does. It touches the Earth and makes flowers grow, it makes grass green, and it nourishes and feeds so that growth can take place. And after the rain has stopped, the dark clouds that once threatened are gone, and it leaves us with a beautiful rainbow and the sun that eventually makes its way through the clouds. After the rain, growth takes place and the sun does eventually shine again. And in our lives, it works basically the same way. The dark clouds arise in the form of our problem and obstacles, chasing the sun away. They chase our joy away. They hover in our s...

They Chose My Womb

-
I often wondered if it would ever happen for me… I often wondered if having life growing inside    me would be something I would experience too.  You know how those thoughts of doom and gloom enter your mind and try to convince you that it is merely something you will witness and never have the pleasure of experiencing first hand. And as the years rolled by, those thoughts grew and gained strength.  I had often obsessed over it. Pretended not to be bothered, but secretly obsessing over it. Until it consumed me.  When I lost my Father and my best friend, the obsession grew. Almost as though I were trying to replace these two lives I lost with another. But continuously, I was disappointed. And so the thoughts grew. The thoughts became stronger and more prominent.  I didn’t know how to wait on God’s timing anymore, and frankly, I didn’t know if I wanted to. I became selfish and trusted Him less, although I still prayed for some kind of miracle. Which sounds we...
