(Location: Cajou Creamery)

From an instagram dm about his interest in the podcast to a two hour FaceTime full of gems that led to this podcast at a local Vegan Ice Cream Shop, Cajou Creamery 🫶🏾. One more beautiful reminder of why I do this. I became more conscious of my language. As I write this and reflect I think about how much finger pointing I have been doing as of late. People definitely did some things to me that are anger inducing. In my acceptance and forgiveness I recognize that I continued to deal with them. They showed me who they were and I allowed them to continue to do so. I think about the words I said in passion that were harder to live by than I imagined. The boundaries I had not set. The standards I created that need not be raised so high. Especially if the inability to reach the height makes me feel guilt or look at others strangely. Many of my discussions started with “people”, they, and others. My conversations much of the time started with what was not in my control. I breathe easier knowing the role I played in my suffering because that same role makes space for my liberation. Joy, peace, and love are not only a choice. They are a lifestyle.
