go to the roots of your pain

Today, I am grateful for my neighbors. The "elder" of our wooded community, who regularly upkeeps the long private road for us, plowed my driveway while I was away. While it only took him a few minutes, it absolutely made my day. Moral of the story...little acts of kindness go a long way. 

I am learning how to connect through love instead of pain. I am recognizing my default is to go into new relationships wanting the other person to hop on my "victim" bandwagon. I am no longer a victim, and I will attract the relationships I want in my life through compassion not suffering. Instead of connecting with someone new around "this terrible thing that happened," I can connect with "this beautiful experience I want to share." 

I accomplished recognizing the root of a pattern of behaviors and working to reprogram and rewrite that part of my narrative. 

I delighted in honoring my highly sensitive nature and embracing my power as an empath, in connecting with an old friend, and in coming home.
