I deeply appreciate the conversation and stories shared yesterday. I was able to find something in me that I have been struggling with for quite sometime, decades even. Although I knew this part of me was something that needed attention, I have continued to push it aside. Last night as I shared that space with y’all, I had the privilege to hear your stories, and offer my story, and something became dislodged from inside of me. I’m not quite sure what it was that detached itself from me, but I suspect it was some part of me that prematurely douses my own flames before they’re able to be felt . I know that something let go of me, or I let go of it, because when I got in bed last night I had an intense bout of nausea, and I spent most of the night in the bathroom vomiting everything that was possibly inside of me to throw up, and then some. It was very painful and involuntary, though I allowed my pain to flow through me and I did not hold back making any sounds that I needed to lol. I am laid up in bed after sleeping in 3 hours longer than I usually do this morning. I am feeling ok at the moment, though I have weakness and aches throughout my body and head. I think it best to skip the community council call today. I’ll be thinking of you all. I appreciate any prayers you feel called to offer as I recover from what seems like a ripping apart of a piece of my former self. Love you all.
