Oh my gosh! Thank you so so much Sherry! I'm not even kidding! You light up every real or virtual room you create/get into...and you bring happy tears filled with so much freaking love to everyone around you!
I've been completely floored by the kindness on this platform...and feel so damn honoured to get to know you beautiful ass women! You guys deserve all the space, power, love and whatnot! I genuinely pray from the bottom of my heart for all your soul desires to come true and you shine so damn bright! Thank you for the mention my friend!
You are a light that spreads her love so authentically and generously! Your name is popping up all over the place! I call it the Shruthi Effect! Its infectious and brings out the best in whomever you interact with! 💕
Would it be creepy to accept that the child in me squealed!? This makes me want to contact all my friends on substack and get them into one room you know? Would you be up for something like that?
I am relating to this so hard. I burnt out one too many times and kept putting all my attention onto others. So I isolated. And I’ve healed a lot. And I’m learning my boundaries and how my body is a safe place for me first.Today’s aphorism has been “my body is a safe place for me” thanks to Shruthi. I’ve spent so long making it safe place for others I hadn’t quite realized that it had become unsafe place for me. Day by day I allow a little bit of love in.
Wow Libby…this part! “my body is a safe place for me” thanks to Shruthi. I’ve spent so long making it safe place for others I hadn’t quite realized that it had become unsafe place for me. Day by day I allow a little bit of love in.”
I love @Shruthi Vidhya Sundaram first of all and I love that you are letting love in day by day. I will borrow that for my healing journey. Thank you for sharing.🙏🏾💕
I don't even what I did here…but just the pure love is making me bawl my eyes out! I love you girls so so so much! From the bottom of my heart! Thank you simply for your existence!
Phew, powerful, heartfelt, courageous, uninhibited words, Sherry. I hope you'll cry more so I can read more writing like this!
Joking aside, I feel fortunate to witness your beautiful heart re-opening. I'm going through that process myself—from a stoic heart to a heart wide open, back to a closed heart, and now to a heart re-opening. We're both in this together. 💛
Yes we are Ryan! I hope you know I'm here for you as well both open and close and reopen like flowers✨ I'm so grateful for your ever growing friendship. I truly hope you feel that from me. I genuinely care about your heart and growth! Thank you for always being a source of support and encourgement🥹 I hope I am the same for you.🫶
I appreciate your words, and I feel your support and encouragement. The first thing that comes to mind is how often you've said, "I relate to this. You and I are so similar." This speaks to how we're on the same path. I appreciate your comments in the Creator Retreat and acknowledge your sincere longing for healing, waking up and finding freedom from suffering. I know you want the same for me.
Alicia you are a part of the others that I brain-fogged 🌫️ when writing that. Thank goodness for edits because I had to put you in there! You are such a beautiful human and I'm so grateful to have shared sacred space with you and Shruthi.
My beautiful friend you are such a ray of sunshine on this community and life. I know I have said this before to you but your energy just envelops those of us with such grace, love and coziness! I am so lucky to know you, to call you a friend and to witness your light shining brighter and brighter. You inspire me in so many ways and I honestly hope one day I can meet you in person and give you a giant hug! 🤗 I love sharing laughs with you, and celebrating your daughter’s wins with you! My dear friend thank you for simply being you! 💙💫
Ok Beckett!😫😫😫 You’re making the water faucet turn back on again. Thank you for kindness and generous words. I truly take them to heart! And I hope that we can all give each other a big hug in real life one day! A Substack community retreat! (everyone come to the DR!) Wouldn't that be the coolest thing! The feeling is mutual my friend! We have to jump on a chat sometime very soon!🫶
Between my friends and Substack I am going to be ugly crying everyday!!! All of my friends are those I have met online. I'd like to think they are just as real as anyone else's friends that they go out with- clubbing or drinking, I dunno what adults do for fun lol.
Thank you for the shoutout! I adore you being here and this post was everything. Your words have a way of capturing just how I feel but am too afraid to voice aloud.
Through this story I’m learning to better understand and love a friend of mine who has recently chosen to move to a different country with her family. I was so scared of losing her, but reading your post makes me realize that it’s the opposite. Love never disappoints.
Moving away from my kids friends and family to another country was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. So I completely understand feeling that sense of loss. I’ve since learned we all have grown from it in the most beautiful ways. Meeting this beautiful Substack community was one of those beautiful gifts as I was forced into looking for ways to connect and create. ✨Finding this space became a lifeline and healer of hearts. You being one of the beautiful souls I’ve met here!💕
This is such a lovely post! Substack is an amazing place full of incredible people and it restores my faith in humanity and the future every day. Much love to you and your big softening heart 💙

You know I'm down for that! Just say when! Its time for me to step into my courage and do the ask!
Sherry! Woman you've kickstarted an avalanche! Just check your notifications!
Yikes!😅

Absolutely Ryan! And welcome back! SS missed the Ryan bright light!✨
This is so beautiful and these are amazing humans! And we call in the energy of those that are reflections of us.

Oh thank you sweetie! I am grateful for that sacred space and even more grateful to get to know you and call you a friend!
The feeling is mutual my friend. You're such a light! ✨

Yes please! I would love that.
Yay! We have to figure it out. I will DM you so we can make that happen!

@Sam Messersmith I truly adore you. You're energy, authenticity and humour. So grateful our Substack paths crossed! Love you girl!🫶
Grateful to have met you and be in community with you. Love you too!
This makes me cry too. 🥹
