I'm kind of in a rough place right now so I don't have any words of wisdom but I wanted to share a couple of Pema Chodron quotes that might help.

We can gradually drop our ideals of who we think we ought to be... and just look directly with compassion and humor at who we are.

Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic—this is the spiritual path.

With our minds we make a big deal out of ourselves, out of our pain, and out of our problems. The fear habit, the anger habit, the self-pity habit—all are strengthened and empowered when we continue to buy into them.


Don't let yourself be ruled by fear and self-doubt. You are an amazing woman! Go. You'll be glad you did. xo
