One of my all time favorite songs is Ashes by @martinamcbride. Any time I’ve gone through really hard times, the lyrics have always hit home and made so much sense to me. They have become my mantra, and my anthem. Through recovery of my eating disorder, through the dark times after my divorce, and during the period of time when my husband and I lost two pregnancies- these lyrics have always been healing: .
🔥 Don't try to save me now
🔥Just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes.
🔥And I will rise,
🔥From the ashes,
🔥From the ashes,
🔥From the ashes.
🔥I'll walk away stronger.
🔥I will be flyin',
🔥Higher and truer,
🔥Than I've flown before.
Check out the entire song- it is all so powerful. It makes so much sense to me now more than ever. Whatever we go through, from breakups, to recoveries, to world pandemics.... no one else can save us. We must go through it, sometimes even dancing in the flames, and when it is over- and it WILL eventually be over- we will rise- stronger than ever before. So come dance with me among the flames as we focus on our own resilience and wait for it to pass🔥🔥🔥
.ps Don’t forget to eat. It helps you rise 😉
