……
So Heart, I will begin today with baby steps.
When I have an unkind thought about you, I will stop.
I will offer you forgiveness for your journey of healing.
I will accept that if this is where you are today, then I’m going to be WITH you.
I will not abandon you like I have in the past.
I will not shame you.
I will not ignore you.
I want to learn to love you.
I offer you, Heart, my deepest affection right now. I offer you compassion. I offer you kindness. I offer you understanding.
