Hawk

 

Good morning! I've been muddling through some stress, as Charlie, my car, is dead...and he's my livelihood. But, sometimes you have to ask for help! And so, I have. We'll see what happens from here. I caught this lucky shot one day at the park...I couldn't believe the amazing shadows. Truly beautiful. Looking at it right now, I'm feeling more peaceful. Maybe it gives you some peace as well.

Yesterday, I was in the graveyard, and I was all mixed up about everything...stress, having to ask for help, feeling shameful, feeling like I messed up, and the like. I'm a stubborn person, and I don't like to ask for help. But then I thought, what do I say all the time...We're in this together. And I am a person who works her ass off...and sometimes, we need assistance. I help others all day long, every day, and it fills my heart. Right after I had those thoughts, I saw an enormous hawk above me in the tree. Then I saw two deer, who were loving on each other. It was a beautiful moment. And I was reminded to stop beating myself up and know that God has a hand in everything. It's OK to ask for and accept help...but I suppose I'm struggling with it, because I'm a Leo, and I like to be strong, but life can be humbling.

Maybe this will help someone else out there. I'm changing the focus to this:  love and be loved. It's OK to ask for help. People might say yes or no, but it's not personal...just take care of yourself and be kind. That's where I'm at. Perhaps my transparency on here will shed some light. XO.

Love to you,
