Whatever the imbalance is in our lives, when we spend time feeding ourselves, we are rebalancing all these parts of ourselves. This is how we can keep our inner light fed. 💫

But when I became ill with tick-borne illnesses, my definition of success changed. I routinely experienced difficulty walking up any set of stairs. However, the day came when I was able to walk up a rickety beach stairway across from my grandparents’ home - without assistance! I admit, when I made it all the way up those stairs, I sang Gonna Fly Now (Theme from Rocky) to celebrate that success! And when there were days my legs didn’t buckle from underneath me or days when I didn’t have a dystonic episode, I counted those as “good days.” That was success to me.
