This is the circle of my embodiment. By taking my life for real more and more, new circles will open themselves for new adventures and discoveries. They will touch my fears and my judgments. They will touch my hurts of the past and the hurt of generations before me. But most of all they will touch my ability to love and be loved. Sharing my story with the world is part of the healing.
