Can we all send love and light today to Stephanie, for her incredible journey out of brain surgery and back into herself? This is so beautiful. Blessings to you, Stephanie, and thank you for taking Alma with you as you recovered! 🙂

Finally I finished.
3 long months ago I sat in a pre-op room waiting for surgery to remove a brain tumor. Nine days prior, I had surgery to remove half a tumor ridden thyroid. As I waited, I tried to read to calm my nerves. Five pages, then I was wheeled away. A week later I tried, but could not read. Two weeks, then three. Little by little I read…sometimes requiring the page to be read 3 times to retain it. Here I sit three months later with 500 beautiful, challenging pages behind me. Alma & I took quite a journey. She will forever be with me.
Thank you dear Elizabeth Gilbert.

ALLOW YOURSELF TO HEAL
Dear Ones –
Here's a photo of me and the poet Mark Nepo yesterday, backstage at Oprah's The Life You Want Tour in Washington DC. I heard him say something truly magnificent and transformative yesterday, so I wanted to share it here with you this morning.
The question was about how to make peace with your own past. How to forgive, how to move on.
Mark began his answer by speaking candidly about his painful relationship with his parents, particularly with his father. There was so much suffering, so much anger. After his father died, he still held on for years to that outrage, that pain. By doing so, he kept those old wounds open.
He said, "Then I realized something. I was keeping my old wounds fresh and open, as evidence for a trial that would never come."
He further explained: "It was as if I was waiting for some big Law & Order episode to happen in my life someday, where I would be able to finally lay out my case against my father to a judge and jury. So I didn't want to let the old wounds heal, because — if they did — then I wouldn't have fresh evidence, and nobody would believe how much I had suffered. But then I finally realized — that day of trial, that day in court? It will never come. There is no such thing in life as that courtroom. Which meant that I was keeping my old wounds open for no good reason at all, when all those wounds really wanted was to be allowed to heal."
With that understanding, the healing began at last.
I love the deep goodness and humanity of Mark Nepo.
ONWARD,
LG
