Creating Safe Space

"We can't be brave in the big world without at least one

small safe space to work through our fears and falls."

Brene Brown

The best present ever does not come in a special box, wrapped in fancy paper with a frilly bow. The most valuable gift is the safe space created between friends. It is an area where truths can be told, extreme emotions released, and no judgment exists. The event itself will not be brought up again, unless self initiated. 

In the safe space between friends, each person is embraced, valued, and supported. There is room to eliminate doubt, criticism and misconceptions. There may be a need to scream as loudly as we can or we may be held in stillness wrapped in compassion and tenderheartedness. Permission is lavished for the ability to stand tall, being just as we are. 

For each other, we become a light in the darkness, a whisper in the chaos, and an unbreakable connection. Masks can be discarded, and together walking forward confidence and hope are built for brighter days. One does not hide in a safe space, he or she rests and restores. The unbreakable bond is a treasure that no one can take awaqy.
