Sometime in the last couple of years, a beautiful friend shared a post with me that didn’t fully sink in at the time.
It went something like -
“You’re not healing so you can handle the trauma. You’re healing so you can handle the joy.”
I liked the idea of it and could feel the truth in the sentiment, but it wasn’t until this month that it finally clicked.
I’d had a whirlwind exit from Greece - 4.5 hours sleep and a very early ferry, a plane ride to Athens where I made an incredible new friend, an intense stopover in the city itself, and an epic travel day back to France where my train broke down halfway and I was stuck at a random train station.
When I arrived in the countryside in Provence that night, I could see all the stars shining down on me from the clear dark sky.
I could feel I was exactly where I needed to be, in perfect timing.
After a few days of the slow life - picking my own herbs and veggies on the property, relaxing and going for walks, some beautiful client sessions, and some exciting plans coming to fruition,
I was taking a hot shower with the music turned up, and a new track came on.
My smile widened, my heart opened and it hit me all at once.
The JOY.
Every moment before this one had lead to all this.
All the pain, trauma and heartache.
All the healing work and following my soul’s callings.
Every choice I had made across my lifetime so far.
All leading to this one moment where JOY was all I could feel.
The joy of being alive.
So I wanted to share this with you -
A reminder that you’re not healing so you can handle more trauma or pain.
You’re healing so you can handle more JOY, BEAUTY, FREEDOM, and MAGIC.
So you can experience the amazing things your former self could never have even imagined for you.
So you can hear the call of your soul and follow where it leads you.
So you can finally claim the life that’s yours to live on the other side of it all.
This has been my journey too, and believe it or not, I’m doing it for all of us.
For every human who’s ever believed it wasn’t possible for them.
Because that was once me. Afraid that I’d never reach a place within myself where I could feel and receive the MAGIC of life.
Instead of always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
And here I am, travelling this path and opening to all that life has to offer for me.
The goodness and beauty, the difficulty and challenge. The obvious and the unexpected.
And I want to let you know - I’m in your corner if you want this kind of freedom too.
I see you. I believe in you.
And if you need some support along the way, I’m here for you.
