HEALING OLD HURTS

Rock found along the way on my El Camino walk in May 2022

Healing old hurts can only begin when the children we once were feel safe enough to speak their heart to the adults we are now.

Quote by L. R. Knost

L. R. Knost is an award-winning author, feminist, and social justice activist, and the founder and director of the children’s rights advocacy and family consulting group, Little Hearts/Gentle Parenting Resources, and Editor-in-Chief of Holistic Parenting Magazine.

REFLECTION:

  • Do you have old hurts that need healing?
  • Do you feel safe enough to speak about them?
  • What do you need to do to feel safe?
  • What does the ‘adult’ you have to share  – what heart message does it have for you to help heal old hurts … to feel safe to share?
  • Take a step today toward healing.

TRULY GIVING

You give but little when you give of your possessions.  It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

REFLECTION:

  • Do you give things to people?  Examine your motives.
  • Can you give more of yourself to others…. truly give?
  • What does this kind of giving look like?
  • Apply these insights.

MEANING AND PURPOSE

The meaning of your life is to find your gift.

The purpose of your life is to give it away.
