Breathe, Believe, Receive

A mantra for caregivers

Today, I will take a deep breath in as I move forward. I come to gain strength and to offer it. I know that I am on a path that I cannot walk alone, so I will find ways to connect and communicate my needs. I give myself permission to be vulnerable, recognizing that my fear is just courage looking for a way in. I know that even when I fall short of my hopes, I am enough because I try and I care.  When I am overwhelmed or frustrated, I will connect to the community of support that is my family of choice. There is wisdom in our connection, there is hope in our hearts, and there is strength in our togetherness. Today, I will exhale knowing I am not alone.
