Today, I treated myself and my space to these beauties.
I love people. I understand people. I can usually see past behavior and recognize the hurt, the history and the energy behind it all.
But Iām not easy to get close to.
Iāve learned thereās a difference between having compassion for someone and giving them access to you.
I bought these multicolored roses home to SHH after learning how they get their colors.
They absorb dyed water through their stems!!!
Literally, What they sit in, they take on ⦠resulting in the color change.
It hit me just as I was receiving the explanation⦠WE are a lot like this process.
The people we allow into our intimate spaces can literally change our colors. The way we think. The way we see ourselves. What we tolerate. How safe we feel. How we show up.
So yes, I love people deeply, but Iām very intentional about who gets close enough to color me.
Because access is different from love.
