Acceptance

Boho accepting, Canon Digital Rebel XT

In her post yesterday, Susannah said something so beautifully that moved deep within me:

"This last year has felt like my own gestation, birthing my new self, my home and, tentatively, my book."

As I read these words, a peace traveled through me, a sweet knowing, a voice within that said "yes". Perhaps throughout this journey I have been pregnant all along. A gestation period marking the growth of my inner child, my raw creativity, my bravery, the baring of my true soul. And what is birthing within me is a new self.

Acceptance.

So, I told her. And now she knows that her eloquent words describing her experience this past year have altered yet another soul for the good. Thank you, dear friend for your bravery. It is changing lives, including my own.
