humbled

i am feeling so very honored...and humbled right now.

someone just wrote me and sent me a copy of a talk she
gave at a fundraiser for a shelter for victims of domestic
violence.

in it, she included one of my quotes.
which is why she sent it to me.

i sat and read about this woman who found her way out. and was
working hard on helping her children heal from the wounds.
and i was so profoundly moved.

and i get to witness this because one of my quotes moved her.

and that honors me so much i don't even know what to do with it.

i have been thru my own hard stuff. and i have found it so
challenging. but you know what? it doesn't even compare to
what so many women have been thru. it doesn't even make it
nearly to their level. and yet, i am honored over and over
again with people sharing their struggles and their triumphs.

i'm not sure how any of all this works.
and i don't want to even soil it with 'i'm not worthy.'
what i want to do is hold it with such complete awe and
humbleness and bow down to the strength and hearts of these
amazing women and thank them for including me in on their
paths just a tiny bit.

i am overwhelmed.
and so so grateful.
thank you for sharing your stories and your hearts with me.
your grace and your strength inspire me every single day.
