With a recent epiphany, “aha” moment, this is my new, go-to word that’s changed my perspective and direction. I had been chastising myself, ruminating, and stewing about realizing my allyship with a few people and subsequent actions have actually made my life more difficult and stressful where I’m living. In a flash of understanding and self-acceptance, what came to mind was I can’t change the past, but I can make a “correction” now, in this moment. Just like turning the light switch on or off. On for illumination of choice to begin the change. So, I simply withdrew from my engagement with them and started changing how I participate and express. As a result, I have given myself the space for clarity, and to recognize and pursue other, forward-movement opportunities in welcoming a new level of life.
