You, my dear, are a writer. Not an influencer, except in the fact that you do influence others with your insightful, thoughtful words. Thank you for that. I needed this today.
What a beautiful image you created for all of us. I could feel myself there, seeing and feeling alongside you. This is one of my favorite ways to spend time. I am always reminded I am part of something much larger than myself.
I was just in Paris for a short visit, and had a similar experience when a Metro cancellation changed my afternoon plans, leaving me away from my hotel without my 'props'. I saw so much more of what was happening around me. A positive reminder!
As I read this, it brings me directly back; there,in your place. The exact same place. That feeling ,all of the external sensations of Paris. The loneliness, and by contrast the completeness,and fullness. A slow and quiet Paris. I spent most of my time alone,sometimes by choice and sometimes not. Bittersweet. Ultimately, reconnecting by default; learning and feeling who I am. This is a never ending journey , I think...I need to return...
Yes it’s an important lesson. Such wisdom. To learn how to hold our own heart. To love and accept all of ourselves with self compassion. Especially when it feels like no one else can ❤️🩹❤️
Such a beautiful piece...I'm sitting in a small neighborhood coffee shop in Chicago watching the business crowd rush to and from dodging rain drops. Me, I took today off, and i'm enjoying not having to be anywhere or be with anyone. Thank you for sharing this!!
I was single for 20 years and worked for an international company so would stop on my way back home to see something of the world. Everyone would implore me to "find someone to travel with." I loved just sitting alone with my heart being a witness to life whether it was in Paris, or Dublin or Tokyo. It is what life is truly about, being.

So so true! But it so damn hard to just sit there hahah!
A lovely hot drink helps : )
The image of you holding your own heart and knowing it is complete and enough is so beautiful. And really important ♥️

Lovely piece. Truly a gift, to sit and feel. Thank you for the reminder. ✨💜
Sitting with our heart = practicing presence = practicing to be present with God 🙏
Lovely post.
I hold my heart often and it’s very troubled at the moment.
Ohhhhhh 💔 but it’s still beating love, strong as ever. You’re held xx
