What we
needed: truth, love, support, recognition,
applause…
Here's a lovely story of a moment of
'turn-around'…
The new mother's heart opened as she
held her child, even though she thought about what she hadn't ever gotten from her own
mother.
That mother (grandmother, now) came
for a visit and the new mother actually felt her own heart healing as she
watched her mother give the new baby the love she had never given her daughter.
The new mother could have felt anger,
even jealousy, but instead took in that second-hand love and allowed it to
begin to heal her own hurt…
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…
We
don't heal by pretending not to have suffered hurt.
We can heal by recognizing our need, and opening ourselves up
to that second-chance love that actually does exist…
As you go through
the day, look for those moments - they don't even have to belong to you, but
can occur between those around you.
A shared smile, a
laugh, a moment of kindness.
Allow yourself to take them in -
incorporating them into your own self.
