I adore this post and yes, yes and yes to what you said Ari! Through great trial, abuse, neglect, abandonment, disappointment etc my love in my core has not changed. Despite being shunned, ostracized by family the list goes on and on I could never be as they were. I can read the energy and I feel and know the core of their pain. I find myself sent to a shelter as a resident and spirit has placed me in intimate conversations with each resident. The work is profound sometimes challenging but I know why I am here. I was at a different shelter same agency and was transferred to the other one via a lottery. My work was clearly done at the first. Here the residents are much more challenged with trauma, addiction and mental health issues. I feel honored and joyful in my heart to see the shift in everyone. If you have seen the movie Chocolat I feel like Vivianne changing an entire town with her energy and of course yummy chocolate! Lets do this!!!!!
