What do I bring to the table? I bring my presence, my time, and my devotion. I have nothing else to prove and nobody to impress.

I have no desire for anything anymore. Just give me silence, nature, and a slow life.

It's hard to ask for help. It's even harder to accept it.

But there is nothing harder than wasting your energy on your own self-destruction.

Only by facing it, rather than running from it, can you truly be free.

Dear body,

I acknowledge the pain you carry within you, the scars of so many battles you have won. I know at times you struggle to nourish yourself, I know at times you can't sleep. I know you ache, and your head hurts from the weight of generations of anguish that is not yours and the deep wound of betrayal that cut you so deeply.

I give you permission to feel. Completely, fully, without shame. I give you permission to cry, to laugh, to speak your mind. I give you permission to rest. I give you permission to take up space because your smile lights up the room. Your arms hold the ones who love you. Your hands create beautiful music and write such meaningful words. Your skin feels the warmth of sunshine and the cool of rainfall. Your heart beats and with each pulse the love within you grows stronger and flows to everyone and everything who is blessed enough to meet you.

You are my vessel, my gift from the Creator while I walk this earth. Forgive me for the times I have fallen short in my care of you. Forgive me for the times I went to war with you and failed to meet your needs. I promise I will only show you kindness, gentleness, and the love you deserve.

Until we part on the other side.
