A heart broken open

One of my favorite sayings is Dyer’s supplication: “Your heart is not breaking but rather breaking open.” Usually, my heart breaks open after I have lost something precious: a relationship, a personal battle, an opportunity. But this time I’m breaking my own heart open through fearless loving of myself. And at this time in my life I’m finding myself surrounded by people who nudge me—completely without conscious knowledge—towards a more complete self-love and acceptance.
