Jay! I met you for the first time about 4 days ago, and it’s been magical. You are my people! We made some moments. Beautiful, nurturing, edifying mutual reciprocity.

I carry you in my heart … it’s like you’ve been there all along.

So so blessed!

All my love,

Lila

Jay, I am writing with tears in my eyes. I am so grateful to be a part of your community. This story is such a beautiful and inspiring message of hope during our darkest times. You have shown me what is possible when we ask for help from a dark place. Real strength is vulnerability, and you've given me the gift of being able to support you - yes, YOU gave me a gift. You've shown me that humans are not burdens to each other and that asking for support is the way to connection. Thank you for being brave and allowing me to be a part of your story.

Amy,

Your words have touched me deeply—thank you. It means so much to hear that my story resonated with you and offered a sense of hope. Vulnerability has been one of the hardest lessons for me to embrace, but messages like yours remind me of its profound power to connect and heal.

I’ve often reflected on how we are most beautiful when we:

a) Stop trying to please anyone,

b) Allow ourselves to be our most vulnerable selves, and

c) Embrace our most authentic selves.

Your words show me the truth of this, and I am humbled by your generosity and humanity in extending both comfort, compassion, and quantifiable support to me.

You’re absolutely right: asking for support isn’t a burden; it’s an invitation to deepen connection and remind one another of our shared humanity. I’m so grateful to have you in my wonderful pride of Lion'esses, to be seen and supported by you, and to know that my journey has also offered you something meaningful.

Thank you for being here and for holding space with such kindness. Your support is a gift I will always cherish.

xoxo Love Jay

Unconditional Love is absolutely right in saying, "You are loved... simply because you exist." That's what I believe in too. You are so generous to share your PAST method with us--the fruit of your own healing journey. Know that your community here will continue to hold you in our care and love.

Lily, Thank you for your thoughtful words and for reflecting back such kindness. That belief—that we are loved simply because we exist—has been a guiding light for me, especially in the hardest moments. I’m so glad the PAST method resonated with you. It’s been a steady companion on my healing journey, and sharing it feels like a way to give back to this incredible community that holds so much love and care. Knowing I’m part of this circle is a gift I treasure deeply. xoxo Jay
