Short Book, Long Read π€ Emoji Heavy π
Have you ever done a basic year outline of your life ..to see what accomplishments you had and the challenges you got through? It's part of a self-love tool β€οΈ.
I recommend keeping at least 5 things you are π proud of on a small, laminated card in your pocket when you feel blue to pull out and remind yourself π
π1967 born a Lutheran and knew there had to be more than one way of getting into heaven as heaven wasn’t even outside us--- pretty early on.

1990 I moved out back to Switzerland and saw one of my best friends, to this day, Michelle, after just having a MISCARRIAGE and lost my mind.
1990 flew back to Detroit where my dad lived and he put me in a 5150 rightly so..... π After suicidal talk....if you ever have had a miscarriage you know it sucks big time... πππand did not honor or remember this Swiss trauma until 2023 during big EGO DEATH Swiss retreat.
