"Your sensitivity is not a sign of weakness.  Your sensitivity makes you beautiful.  It makes you different.  It makes you unique.  You see, we live in a world where it's easier to pretend that you don't feel, and if you dare express that you feel, you become an easy target to be picked on and hurt.  So, from a young age, you're taught that strength means hiding how you feel, or not expressing your feelings at all.  I want you to ask yourself, if you don't feel, how can you truly love?  If you don't feel, how can you empathize with the tragedies happening in the world?  If you are sensitive to being disrespected, it means that you will not disrespect others because you know how it feels to be disrespected.  If you are sensitive to being ignores or lied to, you will not ignore or lie to others because you know how it feels to be ignored and lied to  Promise yourself today to be at peace with your sensitivity.  
​Instead of trying to hide it, cherish it."
~Najwa Zebian

Happy Friday beautiful hearts!  I am simply loving these words by Najwa.  As I sit with them, I can feel the remnants my own sensitivity.  At a very early age I was often stereotyped as being "too sensitive."  I share this in the stance of honesty as it has allowed me to transcend the projection of others and really get to the heart of the matter.  Because of this early label I have been even more curious to unearth the unique treasure of my heart.  

Our hearts allow us to be unique and individual.  One of my beloved teachers has taught me that as children we take on the energy of those around us.  We internalize the statements of others, we take on their shame, we take on their insecurities; we somehow abandon our magical essence in the pursuit of keeping harmony in the world around us.  Our ability to feel and emote is beautiful. 

Through my own personal work I have been able to ascertain that my sensitivity was and is my ability to feel through my heart.  This sensitivity allows me to relate to others.  This sensitivity allows me to navigate through the emotional landscape of my life.  This sensitivity allows me to shed tears of sorrow and tears of joy.  Within the eye of an emotion I find that life is wishing to reflect a moment in time.   This too shall pass.  This season will fade into the next.  Nothing ever remains in a solid state.  Our emotions are always changing.  

One of the great thinkers of our time, John Bradshaw reminds us, "We cannot heal what we cannot feel."  He also shares that, "Our emotions are a basic part of our power.   Emotions help us to monitor our basic needs.  They also give us fuel to act.  E-motion is simply energy in motion."  

Allow the e-motion of your life to move through you.  Your sensitivities allow you to feel and heal.  They allow you to be compassionate and kind.  They allow you to be you.

May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude, 
​Sarah
