Your Healing Story Is A Love Story
What if your wounds, your joy, and all your healing feelings are part of a massive, epic love story?

What do you deserve (in this economy)?
As someone who works around wellness and care and social justice, I hear a lot of rhetoric about what we “deserve”.
You deserve to live life on your terms.
I deserve respect and care.
We deserve healthcare and housing and basic human rights!
I even use it in one of my subject lines for those who opt-in to receive for my new free resource, 7 Tools to Cultivate Revolutionary Relationships in a Dystopian World (get it, it’s awesome!)
I had never questioned the use of this word until one of my teachers, James-Olivia Chu Hillman, told me “deserve implies merit”.
🤯🤯🤯
Do you have to earn the right to live life on your terms? Do I need to earn respect and care? Do we have to work/earn/achieve to have our basic needs yet?
My first spilled thoughts
My healing story is a love story, and, really, so is everyone’s. I love to think about it in this way because it show how, at the core, there is always love in the bell of humanity: love for ourselves, love for others, love of the Earth, even when it doesn’t seem like it.
