Anger teaches me that I have still unresolved issues from the past. Depression teaches me that I have momentarily forgotten my truth. Fear teaches me that I have not fully developed trust in myself, in life itself and in the Creator. Abuse teaches me that I have not set appropriate boundaries. Anxiety teaches me that I am repeating a defeating message in my thoughts. Panic teaches me that I have lost the belief of Safety, Connection and Love. Obstacles are simply teachers directing me to examine the barriers that I have set between myself and with love. by Rita Loyd "Heart Unlocked" by Rita Loyd nurturingart.com Rachel Creative Half and Half Totally exhausted with a superwoman stance. CFS is not who I am, but shapes so much. I’m an artist, but not able to reach full speed. I’m not even an artist, I work in an office in IT. I’m not even doing THAT day to day because I’m so ill. But even in the office my blood is my blood and my heart is my own. I’m a good friend, daughter, wife, sister. I’m not there to help anyone. I’m strong, defiant, a fighter - bursting with positivity. I’m weak, deflated, defeated - a natural pessimist. I’m happy and content. I’m unhappy and unsettled. I’m not one thing or the other. I’m half and half a hundred times over.
