"The main thing is this—when you get up in the morning you must take your heart in your two hands. You must do this every morning" ~Grace Paley

Because you care. Feeling heartbroken, enraged, depleted, burned out — simply  feeling  — stems from care. That is a beautiful thing. The most beautiful thing. Don’t lose touch with it.

in our lives, we must tend to our everyday relationship with it.

‘remothering’ is the ongoing practice, tremendously helped by a mentor, of learning to care for your body’s needs, validating and expressing your feelings (even if they’re unpopular), holding healthy boundaries, supporting your life choices, and most of all—being welcoming towards all that is yet unsolved in your heart.
