let things end, beautifully ꩜

we broke up ⌇ lessons from the Libra solar eclipse portal - part one

The day after I ended my 8 year relationship, I went on my first spiritual women's retreat.

The drive up was only an hour, passing through beautiful, winding mountain roads. I am notoriously afraid of driving long distance, but this time, knowing I was alone — it fortified me. There was a sense of, “I don’t have a choice now. I only have myself to rely on.” The thought is both heady and terrifying.

As I pulled up to the villa’s gates, an overwhelming wave of peace washed over me. The only way I can describe it is it felt like getting wrapped in a hug. Little did I know this was already the powerful energy work at play, a forcefield of love to cocoon me and the women on this retreat.

Tears streamed down my face as I made my way up the driveway.

Welcome, the villa seemed to be whispering. Welcome home.
