Two months ago a dear friend was seriously injured and her husband died instantly in an auto accident. I feel that I created authentic power with the card I sent. She lives five hours from me and I have not seen her or talked with her. I think of her and her family often and send them prayers and healing thoughts. Today I used my courage to pick up the phone and call her. The call was forwarded to an answering system. When I left my message, the pain in my front left ribcage made it difficult for me to breathe. As I hung up the phone, tears flowed from my eyes. My frightened parts became active telling me that I waited too long, that I left a stupid message, etc. I know that my loving self will call her again, if she does not return my call. I am recognizing that a frightened part of my personality became active that feels “loss”. My healthy parts know that she is in the process of healing both her body and her soul. My intention is to create authentic power with her.
