Summary

A peek into my journals

Today I'm giving you a sneak peek into my Bless & Release journal. I'm talking about some divorce. I'm talking about some manifesting. It's really a celebration of owning my shit.

…I was sitting at my desk, crying as I googled how to overcome heroin addiction. Except I've never tried heroin. I don't even drink coffee. I was trying to let go of divorce pain. The rumination—the mind looping—felt addictive.

So I did the most radical thing I could think of. I did a 21-day Centering Practice for my former husband. There were no skipping days. Prior to that, I had been going out of my way to keep him off my doorstep. But now I was going to hold him in the cave of my heart with unconditional love.

And it was really hard. And then it was awesome.

Love is so easy. We tell ourselves all these stories about how hard it is. Love itself is not hard at all. It's electric, it's alive, it's perfect.

I transmuted a hella heap of pain, and that was my closure. I didn't need any additional closure. I didn't need a conversation. I didn't need more therapy.

Listen in for real entries from my journal…plus manifesting on the seawall, blessing my son on his birthday, and what softening actually means.

With Love,
Danielle

0:35.6	This day, I decide that I have to leave a situation that I am

0:49.8	direction, but I'm going to disappoint some people by changing my mind.
0:56.8	I feel guilty and I feel gross about the conversation that I'm about to have with them.
1:03.7	So I need to head into a meeting with them very shortly.
1:08.0	So I only have a quick minute to do some centering with this gross guilty feeling.
1:15.5	So very quickly, I think about the sky and how my heart is that vast. I love the sky. And then I see
1:24.0	one word typed in the center of my golden heart chakra,
1:30.3	the center of my heart that's luminous and warm.

1:53.0	Take a deep breath.
1:56.0	And the very big, bold, guilt word in the center of my heart gets fuzzier.
2:06.5	It gets more granulated.
