Yesterday I went with a friend to a couple of scans. What I didn’t realize is that going with her, I was going to be going back to the very place I went for scans when I was diagnosed.

As we drove in, I was okay. And as we walked in, I was okay. When we walked down the stairs, I was okay.

I was so grateful that it didn’t trigger my body into fight and flight as other places have through the years.

The night before, I actually had been watching a show, and there was a line in it that really struck me. A character said, “You know you’re better when you can remember without reliving it.”

So I am giving thanks to God for remembering but not reliving the fear and all that went with being in that place.

I share this with you today in case you too at times remember a past traumatic memory and relive it, in your mind or body. I invite you to join me to…

pause. breathe. pray.

May we trust it is possible to remember what happened without reliving it. May we remain prayerful to heal in whatever way is needed, so we can be free from the past, as I was fortunate to experience yesterday.

And for those who are waiting results, my heart and prayers are with you as you wait.💕🙏💕

With love and hope,
Shawn
