You have taught me so many things, Sarah. Thank you for saying, in such meaningful ways, "Let the love you want to feel, be the love you give with every breath." I can feel the warmth & kindness in this urging. Thank you, as well, for gently saying, "You still have time," because I struggle to lock things in, to hold on to my intentions. It's so healing to "imagine every day, [we could be] given another chance." I might lose heart, lose sight, but I can begin again. Your words arrive at a given moment of a day, and offer light, and room and encouragement to keep moving forward.
I am in awe of how you find a way to put words to experiences and to articulate them so well. This resonates so much for me.
So if you have met a loving person, one who opens to you like a sun, and laughs and embraces you easily, know how much courage it took that person. Know how many choices they made in opposition to the voice that told them to close their heart. Know how brave they were in crossing the distance. And when you lay your head down to sleep, ask for another day to try to become the expression you must long to be in this life.
Beautiful reminder to let the light from hearts pour out✨✨✨
Remaining vulnerable takes courage. I wish I had a bit more of that today. Ignoring an impulse to message a new friend for fear of being perceived as too ....much, needy, sappy, etc. The risk of being ignored, misunderstood or whatever had me second guessing. The ego put up its a(r)mor and just shut the heart down. In Spanish the word for love is amor... as I write this, I realize that all that was needed was to drop one little letter ...r from the armor. Just a sweet reminder to drop the armor and allow for love... or amor.
Oh Michelle thank you. Yes - I often notice an impulse from mySelf to reach out, then all too frequently the immediate, fearful, protective clamping down. “They’re fine without me. I’m fine here, alone.” I love this reminder to “drop the r” and follow those impulses to share my love - not seeking or thinking of possible outcomes. But because it’s what my Self yearns for. This giving.
Someone who does hand lettering should make these words into art and help these profound messages circle the globe.
So many gorgeous and resounding messages here, but this...💔
“This world will always need the brave, fearless love, only you know how to give. The way your hands rest on a body, the way your eyes carry light into the room of everyone, if a gift. May you wake every day, remembering the mountain of love contained in you is not meant to be concealed but revealed, over and over again, without restraint”
Thank you, Sarah. I needed a reminder to soften a bit today. So much going on, and it can be a hard day for some. It is so easy to forget that I am safe and need not protect myself from another’s bad mood or ill feelings.
"So if you have met a loving person, one who opens to you like a sun, and laughs and embraces you easily..."
Sigh. This reminded me of when my now husband was being so loving, open, warm to me. Loving me in a way I had never experienced. I rejected him because I was scared. I didn't believe it was real and that someone could love me this way. I said 'no, I can't see you anymore.' I was sure this love would hurt me in the end. Thank goodness he didn't take no for an answer! It's been 35 years, 3 children, 3 grandchildren and a mountain of love later.. Thanks goodness I was willing to risk everything.
Thank you for this post. What a beautiful reminder.
Thank you Sarah, exquisitely beautiful words. I am going to write this out and put it where I see it every day .
'May you wake every day, remembering the mountain of love contained in you is not meant to be concealed but revealed, over and over again, without restraint'.
To me, at the end of each day, love is all that matters xxx
Your vulnerability, Sarah. It never does not floor me + crack me open. Thank you for helping to tease out of us + remind us of our wellspring of vulnerability, grace + love. And help us know that it’s okay to live with an open heart + to feel all the things.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Love is the word, ya know! ❣️☺️❣️
I love this thank you, and I am learning this. The line that struck me reminded me how I sometimes rush through the night time ritual with my son because I'm so tired and sometimes lonely, and when he asks for one more hug I get exasperated as I just want to get yo my own bed and feel lonely for another's arms. I see the seperatness in that now. So now I'm going to open myself more, to stay for another hug no matter how tired I am, to give the love he needs from me, thank you Sarah

You are so wise, Sarah. Thank you for sharing ❤️
This is beautiful, Sarah! Thank you. I love the gate metaphors. May we all keep the criticism gate closed and the love gate open.

So appreciate the resonance Anne-Lise❣️
It’s constant work removing the “r” and remaining open and vulnerable😉

Is this your actual number?

This is a beautiful reminder, Sarah. To be open, to catch ourselves before we let cynicism or anxiety or fear kick in. Thank you.

The awareness to be grateful for loving moments is a reminder that I am always happy to receive. Thank you Sarah!

So counterintuitive that vulnerability and tranquility can go together
That’s right!

Thank you for making visible the invisible hearts in all of us.
Your words as always are amazing. So much love in it. Thank you Sara 😍
Heart melted. So honest, sincere, and moving. Straight to the heart, always <3
Such a lovely reading but I can’t listen to it. It is so fake and robotic as it is not your voice. I feel disconnected 😌
