A Message Of Trust From My Heart
The more you trust yourself, the more you can listen, feel, and pay attention to the new life trying to unfold. Friday Flow 9/10/21
Like all my Friday Flows, this is raw, unedited, and straight from the heart. If I can write with an open heart, I can help create coherence in times of struggle.
Last week I took Melina on her first hike. It was 93 degrees, and the mountain was challenging, but I knew she could do it.
She was scared, and I could tell she wasn’t sure of herself. As we got closer to the top, the terrain changed from a path to steep rock. She stopped and started to cry, and rather than push her to the top, I took her hands and told her I was afraid of heights too. Slowly and surely, we were climbing together as I reminded her of how brave and strong she was. Before she knew it, we were on top of the mountain, and her little laugh was a priceless memory I will never forget.
That day I witnessed a transformation in my tiny human. She realized she was strong enough to do hard things. Each step she took didn’t make her any more or less brave; she found trust within herself as we climbed together.
This brings me back to the message of trust.
Everything in our lives has been shaken up. Fear and anxiety cloud our judgment because we don’t know who to trust…
