thank you for writing, and for sharing. your letters always find me like a warm embrace. each one seems to hold a sentiment that resonates at exactly the time i need it most. like many, i find myself in the midst of a great transition (is that just life?), and your words always anchor me. thank you ๐Ÿซถ

โ€œI am imagining each of us finding something we didnโ€™t know we needed and being awed at the ways we finally let it all in.โ€ That last line is the very essence of life. Thank you always for your beautiful words ๐Ÿ’—

Oh Lisa! What a beautiful burst it is! Itโ€™s going to help me imagine. This will be a year for clearing and shining for me!

โ€œam imagining you creating time and space for what really matters to you โ€” choosing the consequences of releasing what doesnโ€™t โ€” tolerating the discomfort of all that requires release in order to stay with what wants your attentionโ€

Lisa Olivera's avatar

Clearing and shining! Yes!
