Finding hope amidst the chaos
 

I have not been sure this week what to write to all of you. A week which has been mostly my son and me being terribly sick and an incident in our vicinity that shook the core out of me. And as I was meditating today morning, it all came to me.

I am writing to all of you, a mix of my lessons from this week. Along with the glimmers. What felt warm. What saved us this week. To inspire you to find your lining of hope.

• Blessed to have loved ones who took care of my son and me. So much gratitude in my heart.
  

• Can’t thank my clients enough for being so kind and reaching out to see how am I doing. Checking in. And asking me to take time off.
  

• I have realized it yet again you cannot throw yourself into work to drown grief. You need to sit with it, let it flow through. Learn its lessons and release it.
  Movement helps.
  Journaling helps.
  Speaking helps.
  Being alone helps.
  Do your thing which helps.
  

• There is so much stigma out there on how someone became ‘normal’ or returned back to life after a grieving episode. That many of us pretend to be not normal for longer times.
  I did what I could in the situation. I could not handle or be in that heavy energy of grief anymore. I cried. Prayed. Moved my body. And released it.
  I came back to my life in 2 days. And my first thought when I wanted to post about my upcoming program Cold Pitch Magic was, “Will people think how could she get over it so fast? Is what all she did and say all a drama?”
  
  And you know what?
  I simply don’t care. In my heart and soul, each and every cell of my body knows what I went through and how it made me feel. And now how I feel after I release it.
  
  I also believe we do not have to stop living our lives in order to heal. Our lives are darn too precious to pause our living.
  
  So no, I am not pretending to be someone which I am not.
  

• When someone is no more. It is natural for us to go into the ‘What if’ loops.
  I want to tell you, when a person has to go, he/she goes. Whatever you might have done or could have done would not change his/her time to leave.
  So let that baggage go.
  Let that heaviness go.
  Bring acceptance.
  

• Life is limited. And you really don’t know what will happen tomorrow.
  Call that person.
  Meet that person.
  Be here in the moment with that person.
  Go for your wildest dream.
  Sing, dance, create art.
  Don’t be with your regrets.

“If you're reading this...
Congratulations, you're alive.
If that's not something to smile about,
then I don't know what is.”
