Queen of Cups…

If a friend or family member comes to you today in need, don’t be afraid to allow yourself to dive deep into your emotional ocean to help them better understand the moment they are facing. The conversation may be difficult and could push you outside of your comfort zone, but the support they need requires it. Open your heart, share with uncensored honesty and be willing to use your own pain, longing and despair to guide them toward greater clarity. Our protective instincts often tell us to push emotional trauma away - hide it in the deep blue sea of who we are, because we do not want to be defined by it. However, there is real power to be found in owning your past anguish and utilizing your experience to become a balm for others - especially those you love most. You cannot deny that what you have been through has shaped who you are and who you are yet to become. Perhaps that is the lesson they need to contemplate. But, trust your own instincts -you will know exactly what they need, if you allow yourself to feel it.

“My wish for you is that you continue to be who you are, to astonish a mean world with acts of kindness.” - Maya Angelou
