Humans do not remember being offered a ladder. We only remember our strenuous and victorious ascent.
If we fall or slip, however, the blame goes to the owner of the ladder.
Be thankful for the One who offered the ladder, the one encouraging your bravery. At the same time, acknowledge your missteps as you ascend to great heights.
Continue your climb.
Own it.

I write to soothe my soul. I empty my words onto napkins, scraps of paper, receipts... anything really. When I was very young my mom told me to stop writing on my hand.
I never did.
I write on it to this day.
I’ve lost so many scraps of Self on soggy napkins; I’ve yet to lose my hand.
The words I scribble there may wash off, but since they are inscribed in my soul, once they are released, from heart to hand, I am allowed to let them go.
