Comforting Thought: Vibrant Relationships
“Vibrant relationships
feel like a sanctuary
where you are safe
to bring your vulnerability
and you are given ample love and care
a home
that equally supports
rest and growth
free from judgment
as you both seek to evolve
a union
void of control
but filled with
mutual understanding”

Comforting Thought: Healing and the ‘precious now’
“Sometimes the end is sudden
and you are left without closure,

wounds lose their heaviness,
healing fills the tough parts of your being,
and you awaken the light of love within yourself
in time, you will return fully into the precious now with a heart that feels refreshed and ready to move forward”
