something that i learn over and over – and was reminded of again this evening – is that when there is a thought rolling around in my head that feels big and real and true and painful, the best thing i can do with it is to tell someone. not anyone – but someone who can listen and receive it with love. it never feels as big and real and true once it’s been witnessed.

i was thinking about how helpful it is for me to be able to speak (or write) my thoughts, and it reminded me that if i have any superpowers, one of them would be that i am very good at making people feel safe enough to be vulnerable.

if there is something rolling around in your head that feels big and real and true and painful, and you want to be witnessed, i want you to know that you are welcome to share the thought with me. just send me an email. i have a heart full of love and compassion, and i am happy to listen.
