Healing Thought of the Week from Maya Angelou

Where the winds of disappointment
dash my dream house to the ground
and anger, octopus-like, wraps its tentacles around my soul
I just stop myself. I stop in my tracks
and look for one thing that can
heal me.

In her poem, ‘Surviving’, Maya Angelou hits on such an important aspect of healing:

Sometimes, we just do have to STOP. And identify the smallest, single thing that will help us feel better. 

Find one thing this week. Just one. Little thing.

It is possible to conquer the past and create the future – the first step is choosing to take the journey.
