I can’t help but notice these days that physically, I break more readily and heal more slowly. As I continue to age, that trend will continue.

Emotionally, however, that’s another thing. I break less readily and heal more quickly because I know that whatever happens, this too shall pass. And because I know who I am much more deeply. Others can’t push me around quite so easily.

Only time and a willingness to look inward, to take charge of my life, and carefully weigh who I give my power to make that happen.

The residents of my 55-and-over community have become some of my most thoughtful clients. They know that time will run out, and they are working with me to resolve past relationships and grievances with both those in this world and those who have passed. It is such a beautiful gift to work with them. They report feeling calmer, less broken, and more whole.

You don’t need to wait until you’re older to take the challenge.

You can start today. I’m here when you’re ready.

Peace be with you,

Mary
