Healing Crisis

Tomorrow I will get my PET scan results. Good news? Bad news? Honestly it will not affect how I live and how I feel about life anymore.

The Chinese characters for crisis keep coming to me recently. The word has two characters in it. The character on the left means “danger”, the character on the right means “opportunity”.

What if the worst things that ever happened to me were the greatest opportunities I have ever been given???

This healing crisis has taught me so much about life, love, and just being human. It has expanded my life in ways I could not have imagined. I could not have been more grateful for the journey I have been led on (ok, forced into, lol!!!). If we had a choice, no one in their sane mind would choose this journey, yet, it is precisely healing crisis like this (or any other kind of crisis) that taught me there is a deeper truth to life than the ups and downs of circumstances we face. Life has a way of connecting us to our highest truth and deepest strength. I am given this opportunity precisely because I have the strength, the maturity, and the resources to heal.

What I saw as dark mountains to climb before are now bridges under a sunny sky. There is a reason I live in the city of bridges!!! Pittsburgh has the most bridges of any cities in the world! I am in the right place at the right time as my journey unfolds before me.
