Hard-hearted is not a term I would normally assign to myself. Typically, I like to think of myself as kind and loving, but recently I noticed on several different occasions, that no matter how much I tried to squash it down, I felt hurt and angry, which apparently is the blinking warning light that a crust is forming on your heart. 

Here’s the thing, no one WANTS to sit with grief. Why on earth would anyone want to re-live any kind of painful trauma, no matter how small? So why bother? What’s the point of grieving anyway?

Friends, let me be clear here…WE ARE MADE FOR CONNECTION! There is no scenario where human connection is not part of the solution. In fact, I think connection is the vessel in which love is shared. There is no love without connection and no connection without love. Period.
