ORIGINAL COPY POSTED ON INSTAGRAM DURING THE CHALLENGE
Have you heard of Glennon Doyle? I adore her. I keep her and Cheryl Strayed and Liz Gilbert and Brene Brown all squished up next to each other in a chamber in my heart (because its the chamber of all things magic, brave, vulnerable, wild and warrior-like 😉).
.
Invariably I find when I need the words of one of them, I soak up the wisdom of all three.
I wanted to share this, by Glennon, with you today.
“You are not supposed to be happy all the time. Life hurts and it’s hard. Not because you’re doing it wrong, but because it hurts for everybody. Don’t avoid the pain. You need it. It’s meant for you. Be still with it, let it come, let it go, let it leave you with the fuel you’ll burn to get your work done on this Earth.”
.
🙏
