Life is stormy...

Life is stormy and often the storms are unexpected. Something throws me off balance and all of a sudden my day is different.

What I’d like to offer myself and you today is the reminder that it’s all about the return.

The journey of the return is beautiful, the struggle to admit something hard has happened, the opportunity to show myself and/ or someone else kindness, to witness suffering, disappointment, loss and then (and this may not happen on the same day, or even the same year… but the intention is to return…) to return again to faith, hope and joy. To embrace my dreams.. to re-embrace my dreams.

Again and again. 

And as I sit and look at the word “embrace”… it is word of affection. The gesture of an “embrace” is a return to something good. Even embracing disappointment is a return to acceptance and compassion. And compassion is an act of love.

And love is beautiful even when it’s hard.

Blessings on your journey. ~Kat Buckstaff
