Healer VII

Do not cringe and make yourself small if you are called the black sheep, the maverick, the lone wolf. Those with slow seeing say that a noncomformist is a blight on society. But it has been proven over the centuries, that being different means standing at the edge, that one is practically guaranteed to make an original contribution, a useful and stunning contribution to her culture.
— Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Healer II

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.
— Pema Chodron

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

Little Girl

Message to my younger self:

You can dress however you want

You can play however you want

You can love anyone you want

You can create anything you want

You can fly (it’s called running!)

You are a maker and a dream shaker

Stay full of yourself (no need to shrink to fit in)

Don’t wait for permission to do or be anything!

Follow what sparks you up (you will enjoy it and be good at it!)

If something or someone drains you, thank it and leave it

You are a force of nature, trust yourself.
