In my deepest meditations, I find myself surrounded by light in the heart of a lotus blossom. I love the insight you've given it. No mud, no lotus. Sort of like no rain, no rainbow. Fills my heart with hope 🪷🌈🦋❤️

When misfortune strikes, I give myself time to rage, mourn, or feel whatever I'm feeling. Once I've had a chance to sit with my feelings, it's easier for me to adapt and move forward without the weight of unprocessed emotions tethering me to the past.

That's a great way to approach things. Pretending something doesn't affect you doesn't make it so. It only buries it to fester!
