I feel a real sense of responsibility to do this. For awhile I thought I would probably be working with a lot of chronically ill people and that my lessons from my own experience would some be helpful to others. And they are already. I want my home to be a place where people can gather to heal. If I can create the right kind of space then healing will just happen.
People do their own healing.
And sometimes I think, I don't even have to do anything to create that healing space. But if I don't have joy in my own life, then there's no way I can bring joy to anybody else. So my work right now is finding ways to feel the joy that is around me. I can pay attention to the beauty in choosing colors and things and people to surround me. It's an act of joining.
