No longer standing still.

by Kyeli on March 3, 2010

On January 1st (01/01), I was in Brigid’s Well. My life changed.

On February 2nd (02/02), my uterus collapsed. My life changed.

Today is March 3rd (03/03).

Two weeks ago, I promised myself that today, I would pick up and move on. I will still honor the pain, I will still stop for hurting if I need to hurt. I will still cry when I need to cry and mourn when I need to mourn – and even mope when I need to mope.

But as of today, I will not default to mope. I will turn my face to the sun and step out of the shadow. I will make that terrifying appointment with the doctor that I’ve been avoiding for a month. I will give light to my new plans and new ideas; I will speak them and start working with them. I will make vision boards and plans.

I will stop hiding out of fear and pain.

I will move forward instead of standing still.

I’m ready. I’m finally ready.


Have you read the Connection Manifesto? It tells the story of why there is so much hurt and sadness in the world, and how we can heal through connection.
