Glimmer.

Trigger warning: I will be discussing my childhood trauma, including abuse, neglect, homelessness, and feeling unworthy. If you’re not in the headspace to take that on right now, that is okay, and maybe you can come back to read later on. But I dive into and reflect on these instances so that I can express how deeply grateful I am for where I am in the present moment.

I was washing the dishes the other day, and started tearing up. I caught a smile on my face as I did them, and even had to stop and pause in the middle of finishing. I sat there, arms over the sink, in complete and total awe. This wave of gratitude rushed over me so abruptly and I needed to pause so that I could allow myself the full experience of sitting in that gratitude.
