Doing It From Love Or For Love?

[Jennifer Leanne]

Thank you for this vulnerable share.

I’ve found myself navigating that same fine line—trying to locate the sweet spot between being seen and not slipping into performance.

That check-in you shared—am I doing this from love or for love—really landed.

And what you said about the tension that arises after being seen… I felt that deeply.

It’s such a tender balance to hold.

Hi Jennifer,

I appreciate your thoughtful comment. And I’m glad this resonated with you. As you say, it is a fine line, and being aware of it is so helpful. I think your last sentence captures it perfectly, ‘…a tender balance to hold’. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Hi Sue - it's so hard when we put ourselves out there - the compare and despair is never far away. Finding what feels right and doesn't make you feel like you need to compete is definitely the key. What we write and who reads it doesn't define us - it's just one facet of our very diverse selves. :)

Hi Leanne,

You have such a wise perspective—thank you for sharing it with me. It’s really helpful. You’re so right, it’s about finding what feels true for us. And as you said so well, it’s just one facet of who we are. I really appreciate your thoughtful insights.

Yes, One is the driving force of joy, the other is the driving force of oppressive pressure—the difference is vast.💛🕊️
