Excellent lesson for me. Showed me how I could’drop the racquet’ of the story I am telling myself. I relate it to a story that I have been telling myself about an incident that happened in a small seniors community where I live. I just ‘dropped my raquet’ ! What a great lesson to carry forward in my life. 🩷

Oh my goodness, my new intention set for the day “I will put down my second dagger.” You’ve really helped put things in perspective. I love this, thank you so much! ✨💚

Seemingly simple, yet so profound. I've been a meditator for years, and am a proponent of therapy, yet this dove right into the heart of the matter. What a unique and healing take.
