\"\"<\/a>Good day to you all my fellow friends.\u00a0 I am writing to you from South Carolina where I have been graced with the pleasure of enjoying time with my family this summer.<\/p>\n

In the time that I have spent here thus far I have found myself at an observational lookout out point from which only such stillness derived from these surroundings could provide.\u00a0 South Carolina, Charleston to be exact is an environment that is seeped in deep history.\u00a0 It is apparent in every corner of its vast landscapes.<\/p>\n

Willow trees that cascade over swampy mud pools of water or lay in rows covering the roadways seem to hang with such density lightened only by the delicate moss that dangles from its branches.\u00a0 The moss resonates the passage of time with mankind and the environment with their dark gray color\u00a0hair-like leaves as\u00a0extending fro the trees as would\u00a0a long beard from an old man’s face.\u00a0 The stillness of the air is\u00a0heavy saturated with heat and humidity making your lungs slow to catch\u00a0air;\u00a0breathing is rhythmic and gentle with slow deep inhales.<\/p>\n

Within this environment I can not help but find myself reflecting on my history.\u00a0 As I do I find myself seeing my way through to new understandings as I clear the moss from my\u00a0own family trees and make my way through what I am observing about the passage of time.\u00a0 This process of sorting through your history is an important component I have found to my healing process.<\/p>\n

When we take the time to observe ourselves through the eyes of those who have loved us\u00a0for many years, we\u00a0gain a perspective on who we were and who we are at the\u00a0moment.\u00a0 We\u00a0might discover\u00a0that there are habits that we have that no longer serve us.\u00a0These habits may\u00a0at one point served to protect us or guide us through\u00a0moments in our lives that\u00a0required them; but perhaps they\u00a0do not apply to\u00a0who you have become today.<\/p>\n

They may have contributed to\u00a0encouraging\u00a0you to hold yourself back from fully expressing yourself which can be an unhealthy practice.\u00a0 We may also take time to observe how we have communicated\u00a0and find\u00a0we are more open and honest with ourselves and\u00a0can now be with those we love.\u00a0 Applauding ourselves for such\u00a0gains\u00a0in your personal development can\u00a0help\u00a0to further nurture your healthy\u00a0outlook.<\/p>\n

Seeing our way through\u00a0our historical roots and\u00a0discovering ourselves anew is a healthy\u00a0way to\u00a0continue on\u00a0a\u00a0pathway towards\u00a0an improved self.\u00a0\u00a0So take some time with loved ones and make your own journey to understanding more about who you were and who you are now.\u00a0 Consider this act as part of the collection of good efforts that make up the rainbow of\u00a0 healing moments you have to celebrate.<\/p>\n

In health,<\/p>\n
