To be ok

Most of my friends know that this move has been anything but easy 
It seems like every day we’ve had some sort of challenge or problem to deal with, in a relentless wave
Trying to stay positive has been harder in this chapter than anything I’ve had to face in awhile 
Losing my father in the midst of this adds another layer on top 
Life is so messy 
Life is full of bad news and disappointments and disasters
But, it’s also breathtakingly beautiful 
Full of miracles and true holy moments 
We will all face change and challenges 
Both are hard but apparently necessary for our lives here
We are souls enrolled in this human school and it is sometimes so difficult to understand why the things happen when they do 
I believe that everything is spiritual 
I believe that everything has a lesson 
I believe that we are here to learn how to be ok when things aren’t ok
To find peace that goes way beyond our understanding 
To trust that it will all make sense 
Someday 
Craig Hamilton said, “Stay true to your deepest intuition that an extraordinary and miraculous life is possible.”
So, today if you are going through a tough time  aggravations are piling up on you and things seem harder than usual 
Know that holding onto things doesn’t heal us
Letting go does
Close your eyes 
Open your hands 
And your heart 
Relax and take some really deep breaths 
Sometimes it’s not one foot in front of the other
It’s literally just one breath after the other 
Until you find that little quiet space 
That little voice inside you that whispers 
It’s going to be alright 
You will get through this 
This will pass
An extraordinary and miraculous life is still possible  
And know that you are never alone
