“Spiritual progress is like detoxification. Things have to come up in order to be released. Once we have asked to be healed, then our unhealed places are forced to the surface.” - Marianne Williamson

Not to take anything away from the mood you present here, but given the fact that we've both done the Hollywood-living, I keep thinking of coffee enemas.

Maybe I need a detox...

Yes, that's true. Spiritual and emotional growth is like peeling an onion, they say -- peel one layer off and oh look, there's another one! Also, tears can be involved in both situations.

Excellent quote! And how often we linger in those dark places, just because we think we want to stay in pain...

Great quote. When we say, I want to heal, our unconscious is listening - and whoops, there it is - the stuff we need to work on. We just need to view it as a gift.

I completely agree with that saying. I love that saying! Thanks for this post.

I've missed you! I hope you're happy and well and if anything is surfacing, it's a pleasant experience.

My mom always says that the key to happiness is pooping! Maybe she has something there? lol

I adore Marianne Williamson - I have all of her books. She is one of my favorite Christian authors.

Ive never thought of unhealed ares coming to surface like that but that's true, isn't it? Nice take on the theme, Stacey.

Hi Stacy! thank you for stopping by my bloghome and leaving some thoughtful words -- very much appreciated. :-)

forcing something to surface, takes it from the darkness into the light -- where i would like to think healing begins.

please come and visit me again soon!

warm smiles,
