and you can curse it or hate it or ignore it or walk away or roll over for it.
(i prefer just to leave town) :)

or....

you can take this thing that is happening AGAIN and decide to see it as an opportunity to learn something that is probably most necessary for your healing and for your growth.

this could be your chance.
a chance to handle things differently.
a chance to act from the strength in your heart rather than driven by the chaotic emotional body.
a chance to break that label, that title, that old pattern, that powerless feeling.
a chance to show to yourself that you are capable, you are strong, you are wise,
and you do not have to remain stuck.

at the end of the day, i want to make choices from a place of love.
this gets hard to figure out when i am feeling sad or angry or scared or just plain tired.

but its what i have to keep going back to.

seems to be the only compass that does it for me.
