Do Something That Helps You Feel the Joy
Last week, I was really struggling. And, in the light of being real and working through the pain, I talked about it in my video diary (Video Diary #10 – Love Heals.)
A friend of mine came to visit me over the weekend. She had watched my video, heard the news that the medicine Matthew is on was working and was surprised that I wasn’t just bursting with joy and relief. I was exhausted, I told her.
She hugged me and said that I needed to celebrate the good news – sing, or dance, or laugh, or whatever… for as long as it’s something that will help me really FEEL the joy…
I thought of my Croatian people – how in the hardest and the happiest times, we would sing… loud and long – until all the emotions were out. GREAT DETOX, I remembered! And great way to make room in our hearts for healing.
So, this week I decided to put myself out there and seek out music… Because music is the place where I feel most joyful and where I am able to really move the pain that gets ‘stuck’ inside.
So, for starters, I did a few ‘Nashville’ things… and wanted to share them with you (I’m looking forward to a lot more) 🙂
