I don't know exactly how I got to this place of welcoming love as an essential need and want - it is as essential as food, water, and air. Perhaps although I navigated a bumpy childhood littered with trauma, there were loving helpers who kept me safe. People like my paternal grandparents.
Later, the lessons were many as I learned through a chose family of friends and then the ultimate experience: motherhood. I learned that all of us worthy of love.
It has been a painful and a joyful journey that is far from over. And, I still find myself learning how to love.
