Wading Through the March Mud Melts into Messiness

Puddles form. How do you respond?

Do you put your rain boots on and jump in?
Do you cozy under a blanket?

Are the puddles from tears?

Growth gets messy.

It is ok to get dirty.

Remember a time you were just filthy?
The cleansing feeling of the shower?
Watching the dirt go down the drain?
Great, right?

That is growth.

Healing is not glamorous.
Healing can be unseen.
Healing can hurt in the beginning.

The reward and growth are so worth it.
I promise.

Digging in, being consistent, and finding you are part of the messy, beautiful journey.

You don’t bloom before you thaw.
Sometimes the mud is stored emotion.

When we avoid discomfort, we store tension.
When we face it, we release it.

• What story am I ready to weed out?
• What discomfort might actually free me?
• Where am I pretending to be fine?
