The Power of Unconditional Love

I'm not a wallower, but I sometimes need a cathartic moment in order to move on. It's part of my being an external processor. Today was one of those days when I just needed to own, in order to let go of, my anxieties and disappointments and obsession over my shortcomings. It is amazing that I had a safe space in which to do that. I had colleagues who met me where I was, who picked me up, and who showed me the light. Most importantly, I felt loved. I know that no matter how badly I mess up or how much I disappoint other people, I have some folks who are always going to be in my corner and will always be my cheerleaders. I think we all need those people. Those of us who do not have family in our area especially need our crafted family of friends who are willing to love our imperfect selves unconditionally. My heart is so full.
