I can definitely relate. This is the reason we now just enjoy quiet holidays in our immediate family. When we're clearly not accepted the rest of the year, why put ourselves through the performance to make others look good for the holidays?
Craig - It takes an immense amount of courage to lean into peace like this. There is no more need to perform for those that don't value who you are becoming.
I don’t believe I have ever experienced a better description of what it feels like to step back into spaces I inhabited as a kid. My parents are both gone so the expectation (and invitation) to join those spaces no longer exists, for which I am mostly grateful. The embodiment practice is so helpful - thank you for that!!

I’m so glad the practice was helpful for you and I’m glad you have the spaciousness for peace
