So the second half of 2010 had many many uncomfortable and disappointing events. I am looking to this new year to bring in positive new beginnings, hope and inspiration. I am refocusing more on myself in mind, body and spirit and also on my career which took several setbacks recently.
I endured a very painful breakup recently and "A Woman's Worth" by Marianne Williamson has been exactly what I needed to help cope. I love this excerpt:
"How important it is to know that he is as tender as we are and just as lost and just as scared. Until we know this, we miss the point. We think he's such a monster, until we see he's such a boy. Like us, scarred from Daddy's whatever disaster, so too is he affected by Mommy forever. And all of us stumble and cry and fall and seek in each other the relief from our pain. We are meant to be that relief and more than that. We are meant to be the healing of the wound; and if we will allow it, our love will heal us both.
Remember the eyes of one who loved you and don't forget their mark on your soul. Carry it always, the badge of a woman who has opened her heart and allowed it to hurt, for herself and for him. She has gone crazy for love and been ridiculous for love and grown neurotic for love and wasted her time for love. But she has grown from the heartaches and endured until the sun shone, and finally she has seen the sky. Now she's a woman when before she was a girl; now she's a goddess when before she was a brat."
I love how passionately and poetically she writes. And she is a phenomenal role model... I know we don't have a lot of healthy role models but I do believe she has figured out how to be happy and whole. I hope to get closer to that. I can't be that far off, I hope!
And despite my current depression, this song by the yummy William Fitzsimmons made me happy today :)
