What a treat this was, Jay! Thank you so much from the bottom of my open heart for sharing your letter from love (and reading it aloud on video!) and the affirmations and intentions and other beautiful invitations for inner exploration. This in particular spoke to me: "One unexpected way to cultivate openheartedness is through intentional disorientation—purposefully stepping into unfamiliar spaces, conversations, or perspectives. When we remove the scaffolding of routine and certainty, the heart is invited to engage without the armor of expectation. This could mean traveling alone to a place where you do not speak the language...." I am en route to Barcelona, Spain to live permanently, a place where I do not speak the language, where I don't have the answers as to what this chapter of my life--post-divorce, post-caregiver for my mother--will mean, how it will unfold. So I am giving myself to the mystery, staying open-hearted. With a kind heart. Much love!
Beautiful work, Jay. Thank you. I pray for the continuing Grace to keep my heart open even in the midst of overwhelming chaos. Happiness is an inside job. I have to keep remembering that! xo
Nan, thank you. Your words hold such truth—keeping our hearts open in chaos is no small act, but it is the work of love, of presence, of resilience. And yes, happiness is an inside job—one we return to, again and again, with grace. Holding that reminder close with you. xo
