Being silly at Halloween has been one of the most delightful parts for me of healing from high control religion.
It’s taken a lot of steps to move from “it’s not ok to let my kids celebrate Halloween” to “maybe it’s ok to dress up” to “I guess my daughter can be a vampire” to “now there are ghosts on my tv stand.”
As we grow up, we usually forget how to play. Halloween is one of the best examples I’ve seen of letting our creative, goofy side out as adults.
If you feel like fear is keeping you from delight + joy, there are ways to heal!
Baby steps…some of them dressed in costume. 👻🧛♀️👩🏻🌾🕵️♀️🎃
