Sometimes you have to go deep

into dark waters of emotion:

grief, trauma, loss, sadness and sorrow

before you can rise like the Phoenix

and fly freely

into your unknown future.

I will face all my fears and tears

with bravery and courage and grace,

I will not run from them

or try to mask or Bury the pain

with temporary Band-Aids.

I am fully committed

to healing my heart

so I can be the best me

for my children and

those around me.
