THE GIFT OF MISFITS
How many times have I stood on the edge? Hesitated to take that step into someplace/something new and or frightening? Afraid and anxious. Feeling and being physically alone. Wondering if I am strong enough, smart enough, wise enough to go it alone. I can recall these feelings/experiences in my life and see that I have always been surrounded by support and love from my best friends, some in my extended family, and my church family – my personal guardian angels. I knew in my bones that I was loved and supported – and that helped me move forward into the Darkness.
I find myself reflecting on remarkable events over the last 10+ years when I (and my family) was shunned by my family of birth. So painful. I only found strength to be in those uncomfortable places by holding close my dearest friends, extended family, and my church family.
I know I am not the only one in my circle of love that carries this sadness, this difficulty, this darkness. And some may not know all the details of my story, my hidden darkness; they do not know they are my guardian angel. I am so grateful for each and every one in my personal kin-dom who hold my heart and help me step out of the darkness into the light.
Prayer: To the Divine Being, thank you for guiding me through my life, surrounding me and my kin-don with love and helping me embrace kindness, patience and forgiveness. I am blessed. Amen
