Super Excited

Today a woman I know came by for tea.

She has been going through years of unpacking hurts and steps of healing regarding the many violent language, vocal tone, and manhandling she’s experienced from her very youngest years.

During her time with me I was humbled to see how stories helped calm and focus her.

When she first sat down she was bouncing from thought to thought, her mind wrapped in chaos. I waited for guidance from God even while she spoke in fits and starts, adjusting and readjusting herself bodily on my couch.

By the time she left, she’d calmed, she’d focused and she’d reached a modicum of peace.

Never underestimate the power of using your personal stories to help another see they are not alone in their anxiety. Reach out. Be willing to invest yourself and your time in another. One person at a time we can change our world.
