A few days ago I got an email notification that someone had ‘liked’ one of my blog posts. It wasn’t anyone I knew but I was curious what the post said. It was actually just a short Buddhism quote I had shared. I scanned the page and saw a link to an earlier post I had done in April 2024. I decided to read it and that changed my day.
I felt so much emotion – sadness, love, hope, empathy, compassion and even some joy. In that moment I knew that I had been led there to give myself the comfort I needed from my own words. I write what is on my heart and sometimes it points to things I’ve learned and taught others. Mostly it’s just what I’m feeling or thinking in the moment. Reading this post of two years ago brought back so many memories of that time when I was in aching despair over my loss of Doug. I still am and surprisingly to me, not as often. As I sort through his garage trying to rehome tools and make space I feel his presence so strongly. This is what is right for me at this time and finding peace in my heart and in my world is making a difference for me.
I’m glad that person liked my blog because it led me to words I appreciated so much. Thank you to a random stranger and everyone else who shows me my inner strength and wisdom. I am humbled.
P.S. If you are interested, here’s the post called “Let There Be Peace on Earth” that I found so helpful to me.
