So true. For me right now, love is holding space for peace. Peace will never be achieved by anger and vengeance. There are so many things we cannot fix, but we can fix ourselves on manifesting peace.
I started to read this as soon as it arrived in my inbox then got diverted by a friend’s pain and need. Coming back to your beautiful words now, they resonate even more. Don’t we all need the capacity to give and receive love for love’s sake, because how can we know when we’ll be called upon to demonstrate it?
Sending love to your friend, and to you. Thank you for coming back and for taking the time to read my work. I'm grateful, Anna, and am happy to be getting to know you in this special place.
This brought me to tears this morning. So beautiful. And so important to remember when we're distracted by/consumed with a million other less important things. Thank you.❤️
Jeannine your ability to deliver words right on cue is uncanny. Honestly, I love it when an artist can bring tears to my eyes because they have reminded me what it means to be human. Reminded me that love is the reason why we even exist. I have grateful tears right now. Thank you Jeannine.
"I didn't expect the tears that came with those words." I cry every time I read a book with my kids called Grandpa Christmas by Michael Morpurgo. Every time. Thank you Jeannine.
Thank you so much for your soulful nourishment. To be touched so deeply in the morning is such a gift. To have been lifted up and out by Z - to know my house, your house is on earth - what a perspective!
Sadly, I'd just jumped out of a little wading pool in a neighbor's yard and my wet swimsuit on the metal in the scorching sun left skin a'hangin' as I slid down, screaming most of the way. But that day is special for being a time when my big brother, instead of teasing me, treated me sweetly.
Oh my gosh, Valerie, I felt that all the way down my spine!!! I would never have imagined that photo would hold that and this is such an indicator of what we mean when we say the body remembers. Thank you for sharing this with me. Also: love and healing to you, now and also for that little girl. Glad your big brother was there, and chose to be there, too.
"because love is something we do, not something we feel, love is a verb, not a noun, love is an action, a decision, a willful forward movement" - so beautiful Jeannine. Thank you for these words.

Love is the way. ✨

So special. Still can’t believe my luck (or perhaps it was fate) in having found you and the community that surrounds you. You all make me so happy.
❤️
MOVING.
Thank you, Lindsay ❤️

I can't believe I get to learn from you. I just can't believe it.
Yep, they were real butt burners — especially in Texas, where I grew up! The photo was quite a trigger.
Ah, I was a child in Duluth MN (high, high north). What I remember, actually, is how our legs would stick to the metal!
Yep, that's got burn potential too.

Love seeing this one again. Thank you.
