“Self-care is not selfish or self-indulgent. We cannot nurture others from a dry well. We need to take care of our own needs first, so that we can give from our surplus, our abundance. When we nurture others from a place of fullness, we feel renewed instead of taken advantage of.”

Tonight the cup is empty. I simply have no words.
3 1/2 weeks ago the hurricane hit. Now Hurricane Michael is headed toward my dear friend in Florida and coming up our way as a Tropical Storm. I have huge branches damaged from the hurricane hanging dangerously. I am afraid they will fall, or other damage will occur. I am so afraid.
Frankly I’m a mess. I have been dealing with something hard today for the last few hours. I didn’t sleep much last night and somewhere around 5 a.m. was so afraid I could barely breathe.
I want to write blog posts that matter. Today I just don’t have it in me. I came. I touched base. That is all. Some days that might be what happens. Not often, but some days. This is one of them.
I’m sorry.

Day 1 – Peeling The Layers Of The Heart…
“We must continue to open in the face of tremendous opposition.
No one is encouraging us to open and still we must
peel away the layers of the heart.”
Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche
