The hardest journey is the one within, but it is also the most rewarding. Because when you find you, you find peace. When you find you, you find purpose. And when you find you, you realize that nothing and no one can take that away
I've been on my healing journey for 6 years and its taking me from being a victim to being the catalyst for transforming my family. For years, my children were not in good terms with my ex-husband. They were upset that I was "defending" him. But I was having compassion for how he was struggling with himself, which led to the divorce. I left him but loved him from a distance. He suffered a stroke right after our divorce was final and I took care of him and his bills. Spending 32 years with him meant something to me and I wasn't about to abandon him when he had no family to lean on. Not because he had no family but because he came from a family that he had isolated himself from. My inner work took me on a path of healing my family as well. The unexpected result is now we all still live together and even though we're still divorced, we've realized we'll always be eachother's support. He would do the same for me now. The kids have rebuilt their relationship with their father and have started making plans for trips with him. All this took us 6 years. So worth the inner work, self reflection, responsibility of taking ownership and self-compassion. Everything is possible 🙏🏼🤗
I have completely accepted all my shortcomings and my ex-husband and I are working towards rebuilding our relationship even though we are no longer couple. I showed him the inner child meditation and he cried and told me he wanted to apologize for how he showed up in the marriage. Owning up to my part in the relationship resulted in a better friendship that will last a lifetime.
There is a sacred space between what happens to us, and how we respond. It’s small. Quiet. Often unnoticed. But inside that pause, lives our greatest power: CHOICE.
