"By the way,
the hardest part of unconditional Love is
accepting wherever we are at in the moment no matter how uncomfortable.
The hardest part of acceptance
is not the difficulty of allowing others their process (although Lord knows that can be very hard);
it is allowing ourselves our own process without shame and judgment.
I can do that now most of the time.
I know now that when it feels like crap
it is not punishment,
it is not because I am bad or wrong or defective. . .
What I know now is that when it feels like shit that means that I am being fertilized to help me grow."
