“Turn off your phone, and your computer and your mind. Find your heart center and send it compassion. See the holiness in everyone you meet. Honor it. Know your worth. Know your worth. Know your worth. Accept no less. Become familiar with the space where compromise is unkind. Nurture your exquisite loneliness. Let it teach you. Light candles at every opportunity. Always wear perfume, it helps you remember yourself. Touch your inked ribs lightly when you forget who you are.” LossGriefHealingHeartbreakRecoveryHeartache Author:Jeanette LeBlanc
“You can choose a love and a life that does not break you. You can claim a softer beauty and a kinder want. Even your animal hunger can soften its rough edges and say a full-throated yes to what is good and kind and holy. Know that insanity is not a prerequisite for passion and that there is another pathway to your art, one that does not demand your pain as payment for its own becoming. Love, it doesn't have to hurt anymore.” ArtArtistHealingCompassionCreativityKindnessSelf LoveTendernessSelf Compassion Author:Jeanette LeBlanc
“We are in this together. None of us truly walk in isolation, even when we cannot sense the presence of another for miles upon miles. Even in the worst of our desolation. Even during our coldest 3am breakdown. Even when we shut out the world and spin in circles until we collapse. Even then the light still gets in. Even then the heart still opens and reaches, tendrils of hope curling and bending toward slivers of light. Upward, outward, in all directions – seeking light at all cost. One way or another, we all grow toward the light.” LightHopeHealingEmpathyResilienceRecoveryVulnerabilityConnectionTogetherness Author:Jeanette LeBlanc
“Because in our pain we must find each other – mirror to mirror the grace of our shared humanity, the stunningly broken beauty of our shared grief. And you can let your grief see my grief and let our tears mingle into some kind of healing alchemy, and you’ll know what i know. That we are never alone. I promise. You and me? We are never, ever alone.” GriefHealingLonelinessTearsAloneWild HeartJeanette LeblancYou Are Not Alone Author:Jeanette LeBlanc
“Nothing big ever happens, good or bad, unless the floor falls out first. Let your longing wind you down through that spiral. And know that falling can be the most wickedly awesome and totally safe thing you’ve ever done. Down, down, down, because when you hit that solid ground you’ll know. You might touch down softly, or you might land in an ungraceful thud. But land you will and when you’re ready, you can stretch your shaky legs, dust yourself off tossing your head back to the heavens and proclaim ‘Here I am! All that I am, and all that I will be.” And your heart will still love what it loves. And you will remember that was good in you, and in her. And these memories will comfort and will serve you as you move through life, open to love – wherever and whenever it finds you.” LoveDesireGriefHealingHeartbreakLonging Author:Jeanette LeBlanc
“One way I have come to understand the definition of healing: I become less enamored with the story I so badly wanted to write, and I make peace with– fall headlong into—the one I’m actually living.” HealingHealing QuotesHealing The PastHealing JourneyHealing TraumaQuotes About HealingHealing Insights Forgiveness Author:Jeanette LeBlanc
