“… take the chains, bolts and locks from the door of your heart..” – Until Today

Intimacy is scary. As my brother Robert says, it means “into me you see”. When others see into me they may not like what they see. They may criticize me. If my heart is open I will get hurt because I am a sensitive person. But the only way to deeply love and be loved is to take those chains off and allow myself to be vulnerable. Yes I can get hurt. But I am also strong enough to away from those relationships that don’t feel healthy and mutually loving. Today I’ll take the risk to keep my heart open and allow the floodgates to open so that love can flow freely between me and others. ILML!
