One year of doing "the work"- I'm moving out tomorrow of my parents place and in with my partner! I've been chronically ill for the majority of my life so it's a big step for me. My relationship with my family was quite strained because they did not approve of my partner. But as I leave, it's in a place of deep love and acceptance between us. The transformation has been miraculous. I used to really struggle and feel awkward around my extended family. Last week they visited and it was probably the most loving week of my life. I never had the capacity for uninhibited love and desire to serve others as much as I could fearlessly. I've been in the most loving and healthy relationship for the last year. My relationships have mostly been a shit show so, honestly, this was pretty miraculous. I still don't make a lot of money. I trip a bit a work. Get overwhelmed with shame when I make a mistake. But I'm able to see these things as an opportunity to love more. And I do make enough to move out (I'm hoping the math works here ) and live with my honey which for my situation is great. I don't know whether this impressive for egos. But it impressed my heart. I'm not the person I was a year ago. My heart has expanded so much beyond what I know is possible. I didn't know so much love was possible and I especially didn't know it was possible for me. An infinite thank you to Thomas who was the wellspring turning me toward love, courage, acceptance, and surrender in every situation you can imagine. I literally don't know what to say, it leaves me speechless, your love, kindness and humility. The work and all of you beautiful souls I've met through it have been the greatest blessing of my life and the most incredible answer to my prayers.
