The first day of school my teacher said, “this is the hardest thing you'll do in your life.”
Winter '09/'10 tore me apart. The function of this summer is to heal. To heal from heartbreak, exhaustion, and 9 straight months of unending stress.
Stress has been my fuel for 15 years. Stress isn't helpful—actually it's harmful in this work—so I'm learning (slowly) to operate differently.
I choose to:
Be emotionally generous with myself
Use my powers for good
Start at the beginning
Be kind to myself
Honor truth
Have experience and let it flow through me
Find the form in my life
Always find the meaning in my life
Follow after that which has meaning
