dance with your shadows

Today, I am grateful for great conversations, and that I am deeply connected to the people I love. 

I am learning my inner critic holds a belief that my younger self could have and should have done better, and that results in shame.

I accomplished understanding that when I don't feel well, my inner child gets activated and needs to know she is, and will always be taken, care of. 

I delighted in a beautiful walk with the Poebear, in witnessing a flock of ducks gracefully land on the water, in seeing faces I haven’t seen in a long time during my favorite recovery meeting, in a delicious sushi lunch, and in connecting with friends.
