Healing begins when one starts to love unconditionally. in most cases anxiety, stress, anger, depression, addiction, and control are expressions of denial and often the need for self-love. the first step to any healing is to completely embrace who you are in this very moment... with time and an open heart, healing can begin....and so much more shall be revealed.

Humility creates hope, and hope will bring you "home".

Blessed be.
