Brave Enough To Be Bliss

and reach out for help and learn to protect yourself because you are worth saving and one day find people who will love you the way you deserve to be loved.

I did it to show you that loving others doesn’t depend on them loving you back. True love is a gift and sometimes other people just can’t reciprocate and that’s ok. Love doesn’t require it; true love is a gift given without conditions. This book is my gift to each person in this world given without condition of payment or even the promise of it being read. It’s simply my gift offered in loving kindness because I believe you are worthy of receiving the best I have to offer even if I had to walk through some pain to prepare it for you. And please understand, even if it sounds hard and sometimes feels hard, it’s not all going to be as hard as your brain tells you it is. Once we no longer fear the hard parts and just accept them as a part of life...life becomes less hard because fear produces hard that doesn't even exist. So, when there's less fear, there's more room for pure joy. There is no pain nor shame that cannot be healed. You need only be brave enough to seek out help. If you don’t yet have the self-compassion to do it for yourself, do it for someone you love knowing that unhealed pain is likely hurting your relationship. Then somewhere along the way, you may just find yourself learning to do the work for yourself. Find whatever motivation or inspiration you need to make the rest of your life the best of your life. It’s never too early and it’s never too late to become all you were created to be. You are not alone, even if it feels that way right now. Whatever pain you carry, I care it is there and I am sorry you were hurt. I believe in you and your ability to find healing. I believe you can face your deepest pain and not only survive it but learn how to thrive. I know one day if you take this brave step, you will be able to come out the other side ready to share your story with others to help them find healing. Dig deep and find the courage. Connect with your heart and soul and learn how to manage your thoughts instead of letting your thoughts control your behavior and negatively impact your relationships. It’s OK to be afraid and yet forge ahead anyway. That’s being brave enough to be yourself and brave enough to be happy. That’s finding your own bliss. “There is a person that your soul is waiting for you to become. They will not come by accident. They will only come if you make hard choices.” Erwin Raphael McManus

Love begets love. Healing begets healing.

We are people, communities, countries, and a world in desperate need of both.

“ And it will be our love, not our anger, that heals the world.” Lauren Fortenberry
