Heart’s ache. In these modern times, in this seemingly never-ending season of Covid- our heart’s feel stretched to the point of breaking. It’s as if a black, villainous balloon is being blown up inside our chests. And with each pump of air the emotional cords that are holding our heart’s together get stretched tighter and tighter.

It’s a tension that seems to manifest in an overwhelming fatigue. A fatigue that rest doesn’t seem to help. A fatigue that hurts to the bones.

Your heart has the answers you seek.
