HEALING

Psalm 61:1-3 NKJV

Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.

From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

“A major source of healing for me has come through reading. When I sink into a book that is portraying a life so different from my day-to-day, I feel my understanding of the world, and my place in it, grow. I believe there is healing and centering to be found in seeking new perspectives. In this way, I have been just as inspired by people I have never met as by those I work with each day.”

“I find transparency, especially from other women, to be so inspiring. All of us have so many roles we have to play and responsibilities to juggle, and it is often so overwhelming. We don’t want to disappoint anyone or fall short in any area of our lives. But when we can let our guard down and share how difficult it is at times to not only maintain our busy lives, but to actually thrive in them, we give each other permission to be who we really are and to prioritize what truly matters to each one of us.”

– Jessica Galo, Director Specialty Care, Central Florida Division South

“I feel that finding your ‘why’ in life is one of the most important things an individual can do to help them heal. I have been in many situations where I have found it difficult to pick myself up, but refocusing on my ‘why’ and grounding myself in faith has helped me pick the pieces back up and refocus on what matters most in my life.”
