This line, it hits me deep. Softly. With lots of kindness and gentleness: "She’s the part of me who learned that safety came from being hyper-aware, over-prepared, and endlessly vigilant. She’s the one who cares so deeply she can’t bear the idea of something going wrong."
I'm sitting here, in a coffee shop, finally with some space to breathe, to connect to my spirit, to write some words out and get the noise to silence. And your words helped illuminate part of the noise: what am I worrying so deeply about that it is causing suffering in my body? What am I trying to worry into a fix? What do I care so deeply about that I can't see to the other side?
Thank-you for these words, this illumination. It's another step in the journey if inner peace.
Couldn’t love this more, Kendra — thanks so much for sharing. Love the picture of you, in that coffee shop, and something sort of magical happening. Thank you for sharing. Here’s to your journey 🧡
Keep the t-shirt, but I'll take a Kit-Kat please. This was a brilliant read, Chloe and made me well up twice. You need to stop doing that, I'm trying to look like I have it together over here. xxx
Ahhh stop itttt, Susannah! You keep making my day like this and I’ll just chalk it up to cheap flattery. But seriously: thank you. I’m so glad it resonated — thank you for being a part of Joyful 🧡
I love your writing so much, Chloe! You always share such rich and deep wisdom bombs, with the kind of relatable humour that make it all feel very doable. 🙏
Made my day, Lauren. This is why I write my waffle in the first place. You’re allowed to feel it, and you’re safe to feel it. Cheering you on, my friend 🧡

Thank-you! May I reference a few of these lines in a post I'm currently writing about finding quiet and peace?
Yeah absolutely, Kendra! Just make sure link back to the article 🧡

Could you’ve made my day any more? Only if you sent biscuits to my house. Thanks so much, Paul. Means SUCH a lot. Glad you’re here.
Hi Chloe,
You described me to a “T.” Your words help me to feel less alone and to step forward towards allowing myself to feel all my emotions .

Thank you Chloe. Beautiful words 🤍
Thanks, Mila — I appreciate it 🧡
Very well said. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Leora 🧡
