Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I would like to share something with you today that who knows it may set you free it can

hopefully bring you some peace it can bring you some clarity and it's something that we're

not taught and it can feel confusing.

Black and white thinking is very, very common in our culture, right?

A person is good or bad. Someone is right or wrong, there is a positive or negative experience.

But is life so clear cut? I mean, I just had a conversation with a friend of mine. She's going through a divorce that came as a bit of a surprise to her.

It wasn't what she expected would happen in her life. I don't think any of us expect this, but this

place that she's in isn't what she wanted nor hoped for, but still, you know know in life we go through things that we don't expect

and want and as she's in this place of kind of navigating being alone, navigating making moves based on her own desires,

being a woman now who is essentially going to be no longer married soon.

I told her this.

Two things, two emotions, two truths,

can exist at once. So she's going through grief right now. If you've gone through

a divorce you know that it feels like a death, the death of a dream, the death of a

marriage. She's going through this period of grieving.

And there are still moments of joy and clarity and freedom that she experiences while she's going through this.

I can tell you too that maybe if you're going through a phase where you're experiencing

anxiety, there can still be emotions of wonder.

You can still be in this place of wonder and curiosity about the future.

I'm sure you've had an experience in your life where you've been laughing and you also cry at the same time

Maybe something's funny and then it makes you sad or the reverse something makes you sad and then someone makes a joke and you end up laughing it happens almost within the same breath.
