Dear Maya,<\/p>\n

There are some days that it seems like your entire world is falling apart.\u00a0 You had one of those yesterday.\u00a0 Not enough sleep, woes at school, trouble with Adin, not getting your choice of haircut, being embarrassed and\/or annoyed with\/by me and on and on.\u00a0 At these times, life is just too much.\u00a0 The buildup overflows into oceans of sadness and tears.\u00a0 You cannot articulate, just cry and cry, normally in your room.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what you are going through, but I do know the sadness.\u00a0 I went upstairs to offer you comfort.\u00a0 Just to be present.\u00a0 No need to talk or fix things, just to hold you if needed and comfort you by showing you that you are not alone with all of these feelings.\u00a0 Unfortunately, your sadness got deeper because on top of everything else, you got mad at yourself for being nasty to me in spite of my niceness.<\/p>\n

Thankfully Maya, you heard me.\u00a0 The only thing that stays the same is change.\u00a0 The weight of the world will shift.\u00a0 I got you a little food which you desperately needed and as the minutes and hours unfolded, you came more and more to your center.<\/p>\n

What a relief that the sadness came and went.\u00a0 I do know about being very sad.\u00a0 I honor you that you can allow yourself to feel it and express it.\u00a0 I am not saying that I\u2019m glad that you are sad.\u00a0 Sadness is something that we all experience.\u00a0 But so many people are not in touch with it.\u00a0 Instead, they bury it, stuff it or ignore it.\u00a0 Or they cover it up with unhealthy behaviors.<\/p>\n

I am relieved to know that when you feel sadness, you can feel it deeply.\u00a0 You will express it (like yesterday), you will allow yourself to be comforted and you will move through it.\u00a0 All of this Maya, is helping you to become a fuller human being.\u00a0 Having the breath of all emotions will help you to live life more fully.<\/p>\n

Re-reading and sharing words from my Maya Journals always brings up many emotions for me.\u00a0 This particular journal entry is very charged.\u00a0 Oh how I wish Maya heard me on October 2, 2015 as she heard me in May 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
