Greetings!
This article, Eggshells, Loving-Kindness, & Observettes, has been dancing around in my brain for quite some time. It feels right to let it out during a month dedicated to the heart. May it fill up your heart with loving-kindness and then splash over to those who have the pleasure of being in your presence.
From my heart,

Eggshells, Loving-Kindness, & Observettes
By Susan Tate
It recently dawned on me that any time I have felt like I was walking on eggshells, I was actually the one that had put them there. Has that been true for you too?
Looking back, I now realize I had put those imaginary eggshells there because I had a fear of speaking my truth. But not anymore . . . I now have the intention to communicate in a loving, kind, and timely manner--even when it's difficult. It is my intention to speak directly to the person (rather than text or email). And here's the important part; I need to let go of the result. Going back to the eggshells for a moment, sometimes those eggshells may be there to protect us from harm. Sometimes we intuitively know that it may not be safe for us to speak our truth to someone who may not be able to access his or her own highest and best self. In this case, I encourage you to seek professional support for handling this situation and creating empowering ways to stay safe, grounded, and to not feel like a victim.
