Thriving Under Pressure 
This is beautiful!
Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the best,
Nahla
Love this…especially to be reminded of the first few lines!
A reminder from the universe that it’s time to let go! You as much as anyone else deserves to be free Sue. No more futile tests… ✅ No more unrelenting trials.. 🌟
I *used* to test myself all the time…ridiculous! but a part of my journey, obviously. I wish that everyone would read and follow your advice! It would spare a LOT of self-inflicted, unnecessary hurts in the world and allow people do deal with what’s really going on and move past it!
This is beautiful. With so many lovely people in the World despite what is happening in some places, this sort of post gives me hope that things will change for the better.
Thanks for the feedback! Connecting with wonderful people like you Barbara gives me hope. 🌏 💙
What a great post, and so true! Now, if we’ll just do it.
Thanks Michele! It helps if we start small (critical thought) and then move on to the big (saying no, better choices). Life is too short to be weighed down by old lessons. More room for wonderful when we let go of what no longer serves us. 💚🍃
Great post thank you
My pleasure Bella! Have a wonderful weekend! 🌺
You too
I needed to read that. Thanks for the motivation~ ❤️
My pleasure Lili!
Wishing you a day filled with peace & love. 💛💫
Great message here. We all need to be better at letting go of our burdens and pain. We live too much in and about things from the past. Life is too short for that. Thanks for the wise words.
So true about the past hijacking our present. Which is why, now more than ever, we need reminders to “snap us out” of the illusions that dominate our society 24/7. Blogging about “thriving” helps us live in the here & now. No illusion. Only reality. Ultimately, this is where we thrive. 🌳🌿
Constant struggle here. Thanks for all you do
Thanks for all you do too.
We’re all in this together.
What a lovely blog post.
“What if I fail?”
“Oh, my darling, what if you fly?” ❤
May your evening be filled with faith & flight!
Such reassuring comforting words. So often just what is needed. Thank you. 💜

Thank you! We have so much in common when it comes to writing. Helping people achieve emotional freedom is my highest motivator. 🙂
Yes. I realized that too.
