In this post it feels like we’re on your brave shoulder with you Sas.

The revelation that connecting with complete strangers (often sans a polo neck to retract into or shoes to run away in) can be deeply gratifying….. is quite new to me too.

Who knew hey? Next time you’re twiddling your toes in the ocean drop a happy tear for me. 💙

Just yesterday, I said to a group of students I was teaching “maybe bravery is just doing one small thing differently than you would have done it in the past.” ♥️ There are a million ways to be brave. And now you’ve inspired me to look for a yoga and breath work class on a beach near me.

Neat! My skeptic would have held me up. And I would have dared myself like you did too. Showing up knowing no one there is very brave. Make that brave badge for yourself.

Your journey around homesickness to connections has you with a brave badge

And thank you it has made me sit with the uncomfortable honest truth about how we earn a brave badge

I know without finding the connections the loneliness definitely keeps us stuck & loosing our away

And being brave can mean it’s ok to let go take a deep breath & to say where I am isn’t working as planned time for a rethink

To me, you are describing is the richest kind of bravery - it's steeped in 'soul truth'. xx
