Not one more day!

No more…

It takes a lot of courage to stand at the edge of your burned down life and say, “Not one more day.”

Not one more day will I feel this way or think this way. Not one more day will I accept this reality!

No more pretending, no more smiley masks of “I’m fine” when in fact my soul is dying.

Not a second longer to adhere to structures and beliefs which do not serve to build my faithfulness. We do not shoot the wounded!

I need healing, I need warmth and support from loving community.

I need love from me. Not disdain and criticism.

Today, I will throw my shoulders back, look myself in the eyes and declare, “Not one more day, today is a new day.

A new me is emerging!”
