#primalwound

Thank you Kristin Fasy for opening your heart to write this vulnerable piece. As a child of a one-parent adoption with parents of a different race than myself; please know that I am truly thankful for the thoughtful questions you pose and for illuminating the ugly truths of healing the primal wound.

BOOK DAY 40: Have you experienced betrayal? There are many reasons why an individual might behave in a way that betrays someone close to them. Sometimes these actions are made out of ignorance or apathy, sometimes out of jealousy and spite, perhaps pride; oftentimes these actions might be brought on by stress and desperation. Despite the reasons a betrayal is made, the pain it causes is always deep and the wounds can be long lasting. . As devastating as it can be, being betrayed is a wake up call that reminds us that we live in a world of duality so if truthful, loyal people exist then the opposite also exists. Betrayal teaches us to be more discerning in our relationships and understanding that not everyone has the same values in life. . In the past, my inability to believe that someone would lie or be untruthful has made me a subject of betrayal. We better keep putting all our best toward integrity so that we avoid inflicting this primal wound upon another, while believing in the good of humankind and surround ourselves with those we can trust. . As you look deep into the horizon of what is to come, strengthen your heart and keep it open and pure for those who honor it. More on this in my upcoming book “In a Matter of Seconds”. .

Learning about the power of forgiveness is just the beginning, so lets press on...out of the stuckness, out of mediocrity, out of debilitating passivity. Let’s soar like butterflies that have struggled free from their chrysalis. Let’s do it as a team, with hands and hearts meshed, with steel-like determination, and with joy inexpressible. We can do it! Join me on my blog for weekly insights on this new leg of our journeys.

Lmao. I get a little competitive with my brother's suitors. Big sister syndrom, or something. ;) Plus I'M a pretty low alto so...I take offense a little bit.

Lol I kind of figured he was. It's just really hilarious my mother knows that. Plus I was trying to get her not to cheat so I would beat her...haha.

Ugh, yes. It's not even an option for me, at this point. 

Blech.

YES. It's pretty addicting. Fast-paced and fun. Different than most things I read, but I decided to hop on the bandwagon and I am definitely glad I did.
