This landed so deeply. The reminder that protecting my peace isn’t selfish but necessary is something I’m really sitting with. I’ve spent so much time trying to be easier for others to hold, but I’m learning to hold myself—with patience, with softness, with the same care I give so freely to everyone else. Thank you for these words. They feel like a permission slip I didn’t know I needed.

It is amazing how, sometimes, when you read something, it feels like it was written just for you, for what you are going through - and this was that for me today. Thank you Thank you Thank you, for expressing your soulful wisdom in beautifully crafted sentences and sending them out into the world like seeds in the wind. This was a gift for me today...

Borrowing so many of these little snippets and putting them into my journal✨

"I hope you cross paths with the quiet realization that some doors must close for you to breathe fully. May you find the courage to walk away from what drains you even when part of you wishes things could be different"

Changed my sheets, cleansed and cared for my temple misted with Heal the Way (cannot wait for the candle) slide into be to settle for the night. Set me for the night giving myself a warm internal hug…staying out of my own way. Thank you Alex.

You have no idea how I needed to reassure myself in this. Thank you for making me stop myself and doing just that

I was just having a conversation with my husband this morning about how I lack self-compassion. I having given my all to my family but have nothing at the end of the day for me. And how now is the time that I give it to myself. This was very well said. Thank you Alex.
