"Even when we’re doing something necessary or aligned, we might cause harm." This touches a tender spot, I know it's true and it still hurts. It's so hard, yet, as you said, necessary. Does becoming ever get easier...?
I don't think it gets easier, but like how grief doesn't get easier, I think we expand around it and we become better able to hold "the both." "I know it's true, and it still hurts." Exactly like that. :)
Jesie. DANG. "Letting someone down is sometimes the most loving thing we can do." I would've never believed this statement 10 years ago. Truthfully, it stopped me in my tracks this morning. I've been allergic to letting people down as well as needing someone enough to be let down for my first part of life. But not the 2nd!!! :) Thank you for your words.
Thanks for such a soul-touching article regarding such a necessary and needed dialogue; and about a very close friend of mine.
The strong encouraging and ever-lasting friendship between your close group of lifelong friends is more than impressive.
God will honor and bless you all.
Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to read and to provide such warm feedback. You see us through such kind eyes, what a gift. Thank you, thank you!

Wednesday mornings! Always look forward to Jesie and words of reflection. Thank you for another wonderful article. Have a good rest of week.
Thank you, as always, for being here with me!

Ooof, YES!! Becky, your words "But not the 2nd!!!" are SO EMPOWERED. What an amazing way for us to remember we can always shift.
Oh Jesie, this went straight to my heart. The beautiful and messy truth of becoming. ♥️
I’m so glad it landed! I really needed this one myself too. ❤️
I always get excited to read your writing Wednesday mornings. And often think throughout the day about it. Today, so many pieces jumped out to me.
Most particularly “But sometimes letting people down is the most loving thing we can do.”
Thanks for sharing your heart and wisdom!
Thank you so much, Markie! That like that stood out to you was a particularly potent one for me too. ❤️
This was so deeply profound and nourishing to my soul. Thanks jesie🫶🏼
I’m so glad it was timely ❤️
Thank you for this ♥️
