Silent battles......

Sometimes we fight them....nothing to be done about them....I have used this blog to not keep so many of mine silent....to give them a voice, and wings.....and a place to be released so I don't have to carry them in my day to day....the magic of being able to release it all here cannot be overstated.....I truly mean that.....it gives a voice to things I face on this journey, and my hope is always that others see their story inside of mine, and my voice can be shared with them.....that they can speak through what comes to me to put out there.....and lots of times there is confirmation that that happens:) Which fills me up....but even with how honest and open I am in sharing what has come to find my life, I too carry a couple of silent battles.....ones that have become deeply my own.....or things that need to stay that way for many reasons....or things I may share some day when the time is right.....but as I have thought on that some, it is a reminder that we all have them.....silent battles we fight every day.....things we wouldn't know about our co worker.....our friend.....the lady at the grocery store.....the person pumping our gas......our doctor.....our neighbor.... our children......you get the idea.....so it is really important to tread lightly in the lives of the people in our lives.....we all have deep spaces....and things we walk with in this life.....things that color our journey......and we know that the things people choose to do are due some to those things, their demons....their struggle......all of it......and leading with compassion is the way....to let people know they are not alone.....I truly do put some of my pain and suffering out there at times, so other people know they are not alone....we are in this together.....and for me writing has become my release, a way to have it all breathe......and moving my body....and being still and finding a meditative space....but for others it could be anything....anything that helps alleviate our human condition.....such a beautiful and tragic condition all at the same time.....I have some ideas for coaching up ahead that found me in the last day or so, to help some people fighting some silent battles or even some public ones....a way to have some other people support one another in that......I think it is important though to let as much of what we deal with find a way out, or it will make us sick.....I believe that....so I try to not harbor or carry much.....most of my stuff has found its way either here.....or to my therapist, or a friend, or somewhere:) It is the people fighting all their battles silently that worry me. Today is just an acknowledgement that we all carry something, something we don't want to share necessarily, or something that we feel sets us apart from others....when really it is likely the thing that connects us! So I see you, I see you fighting and carrying it all...find a way to let it breathe.....before it makes you sick.....and I have compassion for it all, I truly do:) Happy Wednesday! Look at that, Wednesday already!
