You know I have been through such a wide range of emotions throughout this period of isolation. I have felt the fear, the sadness, the frustration, the restlessness, the anger...... but there is also something else that I've been feeling. LOVE. I have seen it on social media, in the people that I am connected with and within my own self ~ it's funny that when we have been stripped of so many things in this world, eventually we can't help but appreciate the things that we do have. It is amazing that as human beings who have been forced to disconnect from the world ~ the incredible lengths that we will go , to still look for small ways to express kindness to others, show love and really truly appreciate what we do have in our lives. Our hands have been tied and yet we still look for new creative ways to express our love. We are changing whether we want to or not and while it has been painful in many respects I can't help but see the purpose of it. My journey with Living on the Inside for the past 8 years has taught me that growing is really hard work but we are always rewarded with strength and understanding if we look past the experience and look to what it has to teach us. Perhaps we have been pulled from the chaos of the outside world to once again discover who we are! To let all of the emotional fires that were out there, burn out! To recognize that we were lost, smothered and now given time to discover the simplicity and satisfaction of just being who we are. A chance to live in the moment and recognize that we are good. It's time to embrace the "Love" that all of us are and to see that when we have "Love" in our hearts we don't need much more ~ it is still a choice that everyone has to make for themselves. I am choosing Love and Hope ~ it feels beautiful to me ~ and I know that it feels so much better than all the other things I can choose to feel. So just one question.............. Do you feel the Love?
