- accepting the no

it is okay when you or your loved one (or anyone) says no 
it is okay to stop talking 
stop engaging
it is okay to let go
it is okay to leave      

let it go
release
it is okay to move forward
and be gentle 
and kind

remember, in the energy of no, you are still you 
so keep being you  
and honor you and those around you
as you flow through it       

yes, it can hurt to let go
it can hurt to be suddenly disengaged  
it can hurt to feel abandoned
and it can be scary   

it is okay to let it be
it is okay to be self 
it is okay to be okay

remember
if you need to, you can leave 
and if you are left, it is okay too
you can let things be a mess 
you can heal and grow and transform
individually - alone 
individually - with others 
either way    

it is okay 
to be okay 
no matter what  

so always
be your self
be your true self 
through it all 
all the time
and continue to flow 

and shine your unique wisdom and love
in the middle of it all 
and be divine I Am
in each moment
as you dance
