What flipped?

Yes, have been working for going on three decades on developing a saner, more realistic sense of myself.  So, what made it all come together over the past few months, most intensely over the past weeks?  Because there a beyond the beyond change swooshed over through around my life.

At first, chalked it up to Mim's passing, although that seemed strange.  But the timing had to give me pause.  Realized that while related, her death was  not flip the switch.
 
That shift-maker was hearing Gray speak a simple truth, speak it out, for all to hear,  say it without judgment, infused with loving tenderness.

It seems that is all some of us need - one other person speaking an obvious truth that others find impossible to allow.  Just one.  

I thought about how a smile from Adriann & Ryan last Sunday created another long-time-coming shift.  That's all it took, in that moment.  One smile.

Oh, the power we can wield for good by speaking even hard truths from tender love, when we take a moment to share a heartfelt smile.
