“You do you, Mom” this is what my wise-beyond-his-years teenage son tells me. What happens if you don’t ‘do you’? Unattended pain from trauma and loss sets in and can damage and destroy you at the cellular level. I’m not exaggerating here. A lot is at stake. When mental anguish isn’t properly addressed and it seeps into the soul and limits the free-flowing wholesome energy from the spirit, physical disease can set in. It’s like a bright red punchy fruit juice stain on a brand-new white shirt or chalky underarm deodorant all over a black tux or ballgown. Not only is it aesthetically unappealing, but if not cleaned up right away, it can set in and might also ruin the fabric with every stroke attempt to loosen the grit or scrub it away. But keep the faith because there’s a magic eraser pen that can be used to remedy all stains.
