May this letter be what you needed to read today. #notetoself #lettertomyself #healingprocess #trusttheprocess #healingjourney #selfcompassion #selfhealing #livewithintention #believeinyourself
Our Wedding Vows
Our wedding vows are an ode to the power of love, and friendship, and hope. Because that's how we make it through the difficult things. Our special day, like all I ever share here in writing, was a celebration of how far we’ve all come, and who we've chosen to become. I hope our wedding vows make you feel something, too. #openheart #loveeachother #intentionallife #livewithintention #positiveaffirmations #healingprocess #chooselove #weddingvows

“The word blessing evokes a sense of warmth and protection; it suggests that no life is alone or unreachable.” As this Irish poet shows us, a blessing for transitions (of many kinds) can hold us, guide us, and show us that we don't have to go it alone. We are meant to help and be helped along the way. #blessings #trusttheprocess #healingprocess #healingprayer #newbeginning #openyourheart #goodthingscoming
