practice patience

Today, I am grateful for patience. Patience with myself and those around me, patience with my transformation and growth, patience with my process and my progress. 

I am learning how to tune into my power as an empath. How to read the sensations across my body, how to recognize when another’s energy has attached to me, and how to hold space for another to feel the feels and return to a grounded state. 

I accomplished running a stop sign and immediately checking myself. Instead of falling down the rabbit hole of “not good enough,” I simply paused and asked myself “are you present?” 

I delighted in watching a little girl go from crying on her mom’s shoulder to laughing and sharing her art and the story behind it with the class, in sharing this story with my soul sister, and in picking up some books at the local library sale.
