“You need to spend time crawling alone through shadows to truly appreciate what it is to stand in the sun.”

Today, I am grateful for the willingness to face my shadows. 

I am learning how to ask my inner critic for space. 

I accomplished offering the help I could to a friend in need. 

I delighted in the feeling of cool soil on my bare feet, in watering my whimsical garden, in therapy, and in hugs from a friend I haven’t seen in a while.
