I’m so moved by all of this. The amount of beauty and pain you’ve moved through, the loved ones around you, the many layers of knowing, trust and healing accompanied by the beautiful photograph of your dad. Thank you for sharing this story.
I'm so sorry, Stella. You've been going through so much, and what a frightening experience! Thank you so much for sharing. I cried as I read, and not at all to be insensitive, but laughed out loud as well. It's just that I have been going through a journey with similar intensity, also being in perimenopause and trying to navigate all of the changes my body is trying to compensate for and work through. New and old pain and emotions have surfaced and resurfaced, that have been scary, challenging,frustrating, and yet have also brought deeper healing and growth. Just when I think some things have shifted and resolved, and I've made some changes that are feeling supportive, I hit another wall or layer. Anyway, I'm glad you are here, sharing your journey. I just hear you so much, and knowing how dedicated you are, helps me have more self compassion and less feelings of failing. ❤️
Wow Stella I am glad you are on the other side of this intense episode and thank you for sharing. You certainly walk your talk... Grateful you are with us and grateful to the vial lady !
"You certainly walk your talk..." This is something that jumped out at me as well. It reminds me of a day I spent with an herbalist. It was a great day. I learned a lot. But in conversation after the hike, he was talking about his dogs. He was using a vet and 100% conventional means to treat his dogs. He said he didn't trust the herbs with his dogs. Needless to say, my bubble was burst. How can you teach but not trust what you are teaching? So I appreciate learning from Stella!
My vet argued that dogs can’t be served by alternative medicine because they’re not susceptible to the placebo effect. So I told her that story about the chocolate vial. I hope it went in!
You are brave and powerful! Thank you for sharing this very personal crisis with us so that we can learn how much is possible in self care and resonant attention. Sending love and hugs!
Wow! That was intense just reading. Sometimes I think my bra is going to kill me as well. Luckily I work from home! I'm very happy you are still here to share your story!
