If a “friend “ jumps ship to save themselves and leaves you in the water without a life jacket… they were never a “friend.” A friend pulls you alongside during the storm.
Swim to shore with strength and confidence.
Own your power…
SWIM in your strength, trust your stroke, and determine your own direction to shore…
Sink the relationship.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
From my book, Write Pray Recover:A Journey To Wellness Through Spiritual Solutions and Self Care:
“I am a survivor. I am not my past defined by a disease that
temporarily altered my being. I am a warrior who now holds
the space for others to experience their authentic selves in the
present moment. This is a blessing and a gift. I am here as a vessel
to usher the boat away from the shore. The waves do not hold
me back as I have learned to navigate, and swim right into the
waves. I’ve learned to go with the flow, and to feel the sun lighting
my way on my journey. I live with great pride, and in peace, as
I continue to experience the ripples and waves in un-chartered
territory. I continue to evolve, poised for the next rush of waves,
with certainty of my strength, always grateful for new opportunities
to grow. I am a survivor.”
