Gratitude Update

Hold space. I have been wrestling with this term for several months. I love the feelings it congers but have struggled to define it. I believe I have experienced it and at times have been able to provide it for others. Researching this term, I found this definition:

"What does it mean to hold space for someone else? It means that we are willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey they're on without judging them, making them feel inadequate, trying to fix them, or trying to impact the outcome. When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgement and control." *

Those who walk my journey with me and allow me the privilege of walking with them, who hold space with me, are in my gratitude journal. A space I hold for clarity, joy, thankfulness. I am filling it with words and photos and quotes and drawings that remind me of all I am grateful for.
