GRIEF: Angel Birthdays: What’s your grief volume?
Grief is hard. Grief is long. Grief is all-consuming. It is this grief trifecta that makes it incredibly challenging to see beyond ourselves and that is OK. Healing from this place is part of the journey, part of the challenge and where you discover you are stronger and more resilient than you ever knew. But how do we know exactly where we are on our grief path?
We take a look at our volume of grief.
And it just so happens that the definition of volume is the amount of the 3-dimensional space an object occupies. Three. So let’s get to the bottom of this 3-dimensional trifecta of grief, shall we? How do we do that?
Volume also means “loudness of a sound” and we are going to change that this week too. But we need to first understand all three sides of our grief volume in order to turn down the volume of our inner grief voice. Once we do this, we will be able to hear what else might be going on around us. Start by reflecting on this one single question:
When we lower the volume of our pain for just a minute, how loud or quiet are the other challenges in our life?
It’s so hard. It is hard to see beyond our heartbreak. When we do look beyond it, we are able to see our surrounding world just a little differently and we are able to understand where we might be needed most. If we turn down our volume, would our child’s plea for help or attention be loud or quiet? Would our friend’s offering for assistance be loud or quiet? Would our family’s unspoken tension be loud or quiet?
When we take a moment to turn down our own grief volume, we are able to hear differently. More accurately. More effectively.
So, how do we do this? Start by setting a timer and allowing yourself to sit quiet for fifteen minutes (or longer if you like.). During that time, begin thinking about the volume of your pain and answer these three questions:
- On a scale of 1-10, how hard is your pain right now?
- How long have you been grieving?
- What has your grief taken over that you wish it wouldn’t have taken over in your life?
When you have done this volume assessment, hold that 3-D square of grief, be sure nothing escapes and send love to it. Tell it you understand it and that it’s ok to be broken for a while, but tell it that you need this next ten minutes to perform an assessment and it’s going to need to stay wrapped up in the box for just awhile longer.
Then tell your heart everything is OK. Tell it, “All is well,” even if it’s just for these few minutes. That’s all we need. Imagine your heart being surrounded by angels keeping it safe, if you like. Once you’ve reached this still space, begin to look at the people in your life. Now that your grief is locked up for a few minutes and is quieter in your heart, is there someone who has been shouting for your attention that you haven’t noticed because of your pain? Who sounds the loudest? Who sounds the quietest? Have they become quiet because they just became too tired from shouting while trying to get your attention?
Just assess. Do not judge. This is not an exercise for guilt or judgement. This exercise is meant to help you find that one person who has been reaching out to you or that really needs you that you’ve been grieving too hard to notice. Follow your guidance and figure out who needs you most right now. By helping someone else, we help our own heart heal too. After your quiet time, make a phone call, schedule a lunch, sit down and listen attentively. But do something. Your chosen one will be so grateful to have your attention again. And once you reach out, you may just find they have the healing YOU’VE been needing all along too.
Where did you find your grief volume? Loud or quiet? Who did you choose to reach out to this week? We look forward to hearing your story.
Love and Blessings,
Erin
GRIEF: Random Acts of Kindness: Healing your grief 2 minutes at a time #54
We’ve all been in that place. That dreadful lonely place of grief where we find ourselves feeling like no one could possibly feel as lonely, or as sad or as hurt as we feel in this precise moment. It happens to all of us. But what if I told you that one simple act could help remedy you from this feeling and eject you from this place faster than you could ever imagine? Well, here it is…
Take a moment and do something kind for someone else.
I’m not sure if it’s the adrenal rush, or the pouring in of the universal love, or the sense of impending gratitude that you’re about to receive that makes random acts of kindness so powerful, but they are one of the most exhilarating and helpful ways to heal our hearts. Random Acts of kindness take you out of yourself. Your focus becomes external and your act of kindness helps pull you out of your dark rabbit hole of sadness when you find yourself plummeting.
So your challenge for the week is this: Perform one random act of kindness and report it on our Angel Birthdays Community Facebook Page. This will hold you accountable and will inspire others with ideas. It will also help others feel less alone in the fact that other people needed to use this tactic to get out of their dark places too.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
-Pay for the bridge toll for the car behind you
-Offer to walk a friend’s dog
-Pay for the Starbucks for the person behind you in the drive through line
-Pay for someone’s groceries.
This happened to me last week. There was this sweet woman behind me who wanted to buy two little mini-tartlets and I had a TON of groceries. She was standing there so patiently as I worked up a sweat while unloading my cart. I would have let her go ahead of me but my transaction had already started so instead, I asked the cashier to quickly add her tartlets to my bill and sent her on her way. She was astonished and we both felt fantastic. It was such a rush and I was reminded how powerful the act of giving is for our hearts. And I couldn’t help to think about what place this woman might have been in that day. Was she grieving too? Was she down and out? Did she need a sign that the universe was watching out for her?
That’s the great thing about this project. Whatever you choose to do, whoever you choose to help, trust and know you are being divinely guided to help that particular person in that particular way. It really is a perfect plan.
I can’t wait to hear what you choose to do and how fired up you feel afterwards. Even if you think you don’t have the energy to do it, I want you to try it anyway and see what happens. Your heart will thank you for it.
Love and Blessings,
Erin
GRIEF: The List: Healing your grief two minutes at a time #53
Hello, Beautiful Person! Welcome back to “Healing Your Grief Two Minutes at a Time”.
This week we are getting down and dirty with our grief work. Some weeks are lighter assignments. This will not be one of them… but the payoff will be worth it.
It was my birthday this week! 🙂 It was filled with lots of fun festivities and celebrations but my grieving heart still found me through the bustle of the chaotic fun. I found myself wishing my parents were still here to celebrate alongside me, to be a part of our family birthday brunch and to tell me my favorite stories of the day I was born. So it got me thinking,
We need to stop and grieve what never was or what will never be again.
I know this sounds pretty depressing at first but hear me out. This past year, we have addressed our grief in how we miss the characteristics of our loved ones and how we miss the ways they have contributed to our life. But a huge component of grief is accepting the heartbreaking reality that the events we hoped for in the future do not have the capability of coming into existence anymore. I had so many of these thoughts floating around my head this week that it made me crazy. So I thought, this must be what we’re supposed to do this week. We are going to write a list of the things that never were and the things that will never be.
We are not just going to write the list, we are going to take time to think about each entry, honor it and truly grieve it so it no longer owns us.
As we allow our hearts to feel and mourn these experiences, we will begin to find healing and closure. Most importantly, we have a list. Even better yet, we have a COMPLETED list. We have brought our thoughts into physical form and have taken them out of our heads so they can no longer control our minds and muck up our brains. This has been heavy on heart this week so I decided I would do my list alongside of you. So here it goes.
THE THINGS THAT NEVER WERE OR WILL NEVER BE AGAIN:
1) After moving to the opposite end of the state to raise my children with my mom, we will never be able to have that day-to-day interaction with her I was hoping to have for my children prior to our move.
2) My kids will never have their grandparents (from my side) at Grandparent’s Day at school or be picked up from school by Grandma or Grandpa.
3) I don’t get to “really” attend a Mother/Daughter tea as the daughter again.
4) FREE BABYSITTING!
5) As Carole King sings, “it would be so fine to see her face at my door.”
And of course, we tell ourselves it’s OK… and it is OK because it has to be because they are no longer here. But that’s not what this exercise is about this week. This week, we have to be brave enough to let it not be OK, at least while we’re working on our lists. Making everything OK doesn’t heal the wound. It doesn’t help us move forward. It is in our most vulnerable places that we find the greatest healing. We must bring our thoughts into physical form, get them out of our heads and honor them before we will heal from them.
As my mom would always say, “Man plans and God laughs.” God knows what he is doing with us. It’s never his plan that doesn’t happen, it’s ours. So this week, let’s make peace with our plans so we can let God get on with his.
We look forward to healing with you. Be sure to share your list in the comments down below.
Love and Blessings,
Erin
Hello Beautiful Person!
Welcome Back to Healing your Grief 2 Minutes at a Time!
This week’s tip goes out to all the front line supporters of all the grieving hearts out there. Grief doesn’t just affect one person. Those who are grieving have so many people around them that care for them and want more than anything to take their pain away. To help ease that pain, we do exactly what we are supposed to do. We witness their grief. We allow them to tell their story over and over and over again because that is what will heal their grieving hearts.
To listen with an open heart is the most loving gift you could give to a grieving heart.
But let’s face it. We are all human. There is no way to watch a loved one in pain or to listen to a loved one’s story without being changed or moved by their emotions. Honestly, it’s really good for us to be the witness. It helps us to gain more appreciation for our own circumstances, find a little more gratitude for what we do have and, most importantly, it strengthens our hearts. But it is not only hard work but it is HEART work for us to be on the front line. And when you’re a front line supporter, you need to remember this one important rule:
Front liners need support too!
We do. It’s a lot to take on their hurt, their pain and their energy. So in order to continue to be available for your loved one, you must take care of yourself. You need to find a “Trickle-down friend.” A what? A trickle-down friend is someone who is one degree away from your grieving loved one whose sole purpose is to support you. You need to offload some of that energy and sadness and be reinvigorated by their love and support. As the grief trickles down and dissipates, it becomes less energetically full and heavy and is easier for the next one removed to let it go. If you don’t find a trickle-down friend and begin to free yourself from this heaviness, you may find yourself depressed, sad, and probably getting sick as your immune system is lowered…and none of that is helpful for anyone.
So here’s your assignment for the week:
If you are a front liner, your assignment is to find a trickle-down friend and clean your slate so you’ll be able to provide more loving support.
If you are the one grieving, forward this post onto your circle of friends. They may not realize how important it is for them to get the support they need too. Help them know. It might be just exactly what they need. Once your front line is reinvigorated, they will be better prepared to continue to nurture and care for your heart.
Thankfully, we all help each other.
We are all here to lean on each other but we can only remain standing if we find the support we need. Stay strong for your loved one by finding your support too. Trickle-down away!
Love and Blessings,
Erin
GRIEF: SENDING LOVE WITH YOUR LOVE BUBBLE: Healing your grief 2 mins at a time #51
Whether you are grieving or not, this week’s tip will probably be one of the most helpful and useful tips you will ever learn and use. All of us have been in circumstances where we must be around people we are not fond of or who trigger us in some way. So, what do we do? We could certainly sit there and scowl at them or stand there avoiding eye contact but what does that do for our own hearts? What if I told you there was something you could do that would feel empowering, strong and great for your heart? You know what you can do?
Create a love bubble around yourself.
A what? I know, a love bubble. Hear me out. Envision a pink bubble surrounding your whole body approximately three feet below your feet and three feet above your head and picture it as a huge beautiful pink bubble. This bubble is so powerful. It will send off wonderful love energy so the person you are talking to will just feel that fantastic love energy, regardless of how you feel. And by allowing them to feel that warm, nurturing love, they will tend to respond in-kind and act more loving towards you. How great is this? You get to create the environment you want to be in. It’s so powerful and so incredibly empowering, especially during a time, such as grief, that often leaves us feeling very powerless. Not only will your love bubble allow the other person to feel the love but it will also protect you from receiving anything but love.
Nothing but love will permeate your bubble.
That’s right! Talk about empowering! You get to create this bubble, allow others to feel love so they are more loving towards you AND you get to protect yourself from anything but love! It’s a win-win for everyone.
The technical energy term for this concept is shielding but we are going to use this to do so much more than shield. We are going to create a life for ourselves that is consistently filled with love because we will give off love and will only allow ourselves to receive love. Starting now, put your bubbles to work. All I’m asking is that you test it and see what happens. And if something totally great happens, please share it with all of us down below in the comments section. I can’t wait to hear what you have to say as you all go out and begin to share the Love!
Love and Blessings,
Erin
Creating your Heart Masterpiece: Healing your grief 2 minutes at a time #50
Two weeks ago, we cut out our paper Valentine’s hearts and wrote down everything we loved about our loved one. I asked you to keep the exterior of the cutout for the special project we’re going to do today. I want you to hold the cutout up and take a good look at it and ask this simple question:
Am I left with an empty heart or the canvas to create my very own Heart Masterpiece?
It’s a small shift in thinking but it is powerful. Are we going to focus on the paper and the paper heart that is no longer there or are we going to focus on the heart-framed beauty that is now coming through the place where that heart had been once before?
I think this is a great physical representation of how our hearts feel when we’re grieving. We do feel like our heart has been cut out…and maybe even wish it was some days because maybe it would hurt less. But if we take a moment to think about what our loved ones would want for us now…I mean, REALLY want for us, what would that be? Would they want your heart to be empty or to be filled with a beautiful masterpiece?
Well this week, we are going to create a masterpiece from what remains. Take a look at your Valentine from two weeks ago where you wrote all of the attributes you loved the most about your loved one. For each attribute, I invite you to write the correlating activity you could do in honor of what you loved the most about your loved one.
For instance, if she was an amazing cook, you could take a cooking class or invite a friend over and cook dinner for him. If he was a great listener, call a friend and actively listen for 20 minutes or if he had the best hugs in the world, make a point to hug everyone you see. Be sure to do all of these things with the INTENTION of honoring your loved one. By honoring them, you will allow their love into your heart and it will begin to heal your grief as you use your loved one’s inspiration to get you engaged back into your own life. What a beautiful gift from our loved ones. It is our love for them that will ultimately heal our own hearts.
I can’t wait to SEE your Heart Masterpieces. Please post them in the comments down below along with your story about what has brought you here. We all want to witness your grief and help you heal your heart. Love is the most beautiful thing in the world and I can’t wait to see what kind of Masterpiece it will create for you.
Love and Blessings,
Erin
GRIEF: Write your first Valentine to yourself: Healing Your Grief 2 Minutes at a time #49
This Valentine’s Day, let’s all write our first Valentine to ourselves. Why you may ask?
We need to prime our own pump first.
Let me explain. Years ago, I took my children to a petting zoo with my mom. There, in the dirt, stood an old-fashioned water pump. Naturally, I had my daughters attempt to push the metal lever to extract the water from the ground. After countless attempts, I’d resolved that the pump was just broken and it was time to move onto the goats. However my mom who born in the South and, I swear, knew how to do everything, told me to stay put and to get her a water bottle. She said, “Sugar pie, you need to prime your own pump. If you don’t put any water in, you ain’t ever gonna get any water out.” To be honest, I actually thought she had no idea what she was talking about as she poured this bottle of water into this seemingly empty, dried-up well. But I tell you, that determined woman kept pouring, and kept pumping that lever, until a flood of water came splashing down onto everyone. And it was magnetic. My girls squealed as they were drenched with this downpour of beautiful water and then they pumped that lever to their hearts’ delight. It was contagious. All of the surrounding families lined up to take their turn at the pump. It was amazing and it was all because we needed to add the water FIRST to get the water out.
I think love works the same way. We need to pour it in, pump that lever and be determined that it is going to come out. But once it is out, it is one of the most magnetic feelings in the world. However, when we are grieving, we may need to be more determined than ever to pump out that love because we can sometimes feel just like that dry metal lever. We’re pushing it down and nothing is coming out. We try to give of ourselves but we feel like we just have absolutely nothing to give. Chances are, we might not have any love to give…that is until we prime our own pump.
So this week, I want you to write your first Valentine’s Day card to yourself and I want you to write down all the things you are proud of that you are doing to heal. Give yourself the credit you deserve as you walk down this tough path. Things may take longer or you may not get as much done but I am certain there are things you are doing well right now that you can include in this beautiful love note to yourself.
One of the dirty little secrets they don’t tell you about the grieving process is that we can be incredibly self-critical. How awful is that? Here we are already broken and bruised and then we find ways to criticize ourselves about not handling it well enough. That is going to stop today.
This Valentine’s Day, remind yourself what IS going right and what you do feel like you’re doing well. Give yourself the love and credit you deserve and then watch for your own downpour of love. Happy Valentine’s Day!
GRIEF: A Grieving Valentine : Healing Your Grief 2 Minutes at a time #48
It’s February. It’s the month that is defined by love, hearts, valentines and candy. But how do we celebrate a month dedicated to love when we are grieving and don’t quite feel very loving ourselves? We begin with recognizing one simple fact:
We only grieve for the ones we have truly loved.
And since we do truly love them, then we are going to take this moment and truly grieve for them too. We are going to create the most perfect, heart-felt, intimate Valentine describing everything we love about our loved one. We are going to call it our grieving valentine. Here’s how it works and why it is the most beautiful gift your loved one could give you this Valentine’s Day.
We’re going to go back to our elementary school crafting days and cut out a good old-fashioned construction paper heart. (Be sure to keep the outside portion of this cutout. I’m dedicating this entire month to four Valentine’s heart-centered healing activities and we will need it in a few weeks. It will add some special meaning if both activities are cut from the same piece of paper.) Once you have your heart, begin to list all the wonderful things you love about your loved one. Be sure to include personality traits, adventures and memories. As you are writing on and completing your Valentine, notice what happens. Let your heart be filled with love and let your eyes be filled with tears. By completing our grieving Valentine, we are helping our hearts process some of these bottled up emotions. By allowing your heart to process these feelings, you will begin to heal that beautiful heart of yours. Completing this Valentine gives you a cherished reminder of all that you loved about them and it helps you heal your own heart too. It truly is the perfect Valentine’s gift to give to both of you this Valentine’s season.
What did you write down on your grieving Valentine? What do you love the most about your loved one? Share your grieving Valentines with our community and help spread the love.
Love and Blessings,
Erin
GRIEF: How do we declutter while grieving? Healing your grief 2 minutes at a time #47
It’s the end of January 2015 already!!! All month long there have been countless posts, suggestions and articles on the importance of decluttering this month so that we can clear the way for the wonderful abundance that is going to arrive this year. But what if we are grieving the loss of a loved one or a relationship? What if we don’t want to clean out their closet? What if we still want to hold onto our beloved’s most cherished items? Of course we want abundance in our lives, so what are we supposed to do?
Purging “stuff” is one of the steps of grief that we all wish we could avoid. It requires physical labor and, strangely enough, a ton of mental and emotional labor. Like with all things grief, it’s just not fun. But once you’re on the other side of it, you will feel stronger and clearer.
Today, we’re going to walk through a process that will make all of this feel less daunting. So, how do we even begin? Let go of the vision of the messy closet or cabinet of knick-knacks and begin with your own heart.
We declutter our own heart first.
If our heart is cluttered, it won’t matter how much clutter we have in our house. We won’t be able to clear a thing.
Begin by allowing yourself to sit with all of your feelings first. Allow your heart to soften and let go. Then begin finding all of your loved one’s favorite items. Once you have your collection, sit with them, touch them and savor each and every one of them. Put on your loved ones’ sweatshirt. Reflect on how much you loved the feeling of this material on your skin or place that sweatshirt over a pillow and hold it and cry. Let your tears flow and your emotions release. Hold onto that teddy bear and give it a hug. Smell the lingering cologne that is still on his jacket’s collar. Do it all! Take a tour of all of those items and give yourself permission to cherish that memory with all of your senses.
When you feel like your heart has had enough of this exercise, which by the way can take place over multiple days and weeks, you can then move onto the next step. But do not skip this first step. A cluttered heart can’t release anything.
Love it or leave it.
With your newly decluttered heart, you can begin to decide on which items you want to keep. Only keep the items you LOVE. If you love the item, keep it. Use it. Enjoy it. You do not need to get rid of everything. I still have my mom’s sweatshirt that I, still 8 years later, put on when I am sick or am missing her. I love that sweatshirt and it reminds me of everything I loved about my mom. I feel nurtured and full of her abundant love all over again the moment I put it on.
You can divide things into three piles- items you love, items that are undecided on and items that you feel ready to pass along. Gift the items. Invite family and friends over to let them choose a favorite item or donate those goods to a charity that your loved one adored. There will be great gratitude felt from those less fortunate who will love the items you were willing to leave.
I have another beautiful story of abundance. We needed to donate my mom’s towels and washcloths. So we took them to her favorite charity. When we arrived at the house, the front door was open and the woman in charge was leaving for the store. We brought up our bags and her jaw dropped. On her shopping list was…you guessed it… towels and wash cloths. That is how it works. What we give away, someone else needs. Trust and know that your loved one would love to be a part of this beautiful abundance cycle.
But, what if I’m not ready to let go of it?
For the items you are just not ready to part with yet, you may leave them where they are or you can buy a special box to pack them away in an honoring way. This gives you the opportunity to visit those items whenever you want without them taking up physical space in your everyday life. I did this with my mom’s favorite clothes and each year, I was able to part with more and more until one day I realized how beneficial her beautiful coats (which were far too big for me) would be to a homeless woman on the streets. We can honor our loved ones’ lives so beautifully by gifting what they have left behind.
Take the process at your own pace
As with everything, do this at your own pace. Do not feel rushed to hurry through this but know that this process, step by step, is there for you when you are ready to start moving forward. By clearing your heart first, it will be easier to begin to clear the “stuff.” As we begin to heal our heart, we start to let go of the attachment to those physical items. It is also so important to enjoy the things you keep. Don’t keep things because you feel guilty parting with them because that will just continue to make you feel…well, guilty and that is not what your loved one wants for you. Keep what you love and TRULY enjoy it. Reflect and remember how much they loved this particular item and how much you love it too. You will connect with your loved one right there in that space of love. It is in that very moment of love and cherishing that abundance will begin to flow right into your heart and life.
And if you find yourself not ready to move forward with any of the above, that is OK. By merely setting an intention to begin to declutter, the abundance will begin to flow. Intention is so powerful and once it is set, energy and action will follow right behind. So set your intention and see where your decluttering takes you. Our community can’t wait to hear your beautiful gifting stories. Please share below what you’ve been able to clear away and who was blessed as a result of it.
And if you would love some additional support with this process, my friend Cristi Earnshaw is amazing. She is an abundance whisperer and helps support people in their decluttering and clearing of their spaces. Check out her website here: http://www.theabundancewhisperer.com

WHAT’S YOUR HEALING MANTRA? Healing your grief 2 minutes at a time #46
So often, we find ourselves in situations where our mind spirals out of control, and before we know it, we’re at the bottom of a mental rabbit hole filled with fear, sadness and loneliness. This week, we are going to find a personal mantra for ourselves that we can lean on like a good friend. We are going to use that mantra to help keep us from falling into that deep dark hole. By definition, a mantra is a phrase, word or slogan that is mind protecting. It helps us stay focused not only in prayer and meditation, but the right one will also keep you strengthened in every situation. As you begin to lean on it and put it to good use, your strengthening mantra will pull you through great heartache and any trial of the heart and mind.
I want you to pick whatever mantra feels right for you. It must resonate with you and feel strong enough to keep you up when you’re feeling down, yet gentle enough to let you be quiet when it is time to just cry and be fragile.
I’m happy to share mine with you. Take it, use it, lean on it or just borrow it until you’ve found one that is more fitting for you. My mantra has been:
“BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.”
This phrase has brought me through some of my darkest days and continues to strengthen me. It helps me let go and trust that something or someone far wiser, organized and more put together than me is managing everything in my life. My job is to do the best I can do every single day and just trust that the details will work themselves out.
This mantra is so poignant and helpful while we are grieving for so many reasons. Let’s break it down:
“BE STILL”
Many times when we are grieving, we don’t want to go to parties or leave our house, but we also don’t want to be still. Why do you think that might be? I think we’re all a little afraid of what might happen if we sat still. So instead, we keep our minds outrageously busy. We compare our grief journey to others, criticize our own paths and find ourselves saying things like ”It’s been too long and I’m still in the same place”, “Will I ever heal?”, or “What’s wrong with me?”.
No wonder we don’t want to be still. We may find more to criticize. We may find more to tear down. BUT if we gather up enough courage to actually be still, do you know what we will find? We will find rest, we will find our center and we will find more love than we could ever image. Love that we can direct to our own heart, as well as send to all the people at the party we didn’t attend. You are right here, right now for a reason. Allow yourself the permission to be still and to sit with those feelings. Allow yourself to send love to your heart and know that it is in the stillness that you will find your healing.
“AND”
There will be an “and” again in your life. While only you can walk this path for yourself right now, there will be a day where you will join others again. You will find joy and comfort again. It may come in new and different forms but I assure you there will be an AND, just for you, to follow this season. You will find yourself renewed, strengthened and healed. You will find yourself exactly where you were meant to be. There is purpose to all that comes before the AND. In your stillness you will find it. What comes after the AND will be exactly what you needed most and never knew you were missing.
“KNOW THAT I AM GOD”
KNOW… I mean… REALLY KNOW in your gut that I am God. Whatever higher power you subscribe to… hand all of your emotions over to that God. Every single one… the sadness, the loneliness, the fear. Let it go and hand it over and feel it release in your gut. That higher power that put you in this position has the same power to get you out. It’s waiting for you to surrender to it. Let go of the ownership of your grief. Hand it over, even just for a minute. In that one minute reprieve, relax and trust that your grief is being rearranged, organized and put back together as something that will make you shine. And isn’t that what your loved one would want for you anyway? Let your God turn your turmoil into treasure. Find a way to let it go and shine knowing that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
So, take my mantra or find one of your own. Be still with it. Run with it. Do everything with it. It is there to be used every moment of every day to help you heal, love and shine.
What’s your mantra? How has your mantra helped you this week? Help others in our community grow and strengthen too by sharing yours.
Love and Blessings,
Erin
