Rhonda
Rhonda asked Elizabeth Gilbert:

I am at a complete and total crossroads in my life, financially devastated, spiritually spent. I am where you were on the bathroom floor. Paralyzed and without direction or resources, I don't know how to move forward. Any advice would be appreciated...

Elizabeth Gilbert Rhonda, I am so sorry to hear this. I have been there, and so have many others, and I can promise you that there is life on the other side. The only advice I can give you in such a simple format as this is to begin (today) to TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF. Try an experiment: Treat yourself as if you are the most precious thing on earth. No judgement, no self-hatred, no shame. Imagine that you are your own angel, and begin there. What does Rhonda need? Take care of her. She is in your care. I send you blessings, and promises that lives can change. I don't know anyone who ever changed their life that didn't begin exactly where you are now: On the bathroom floor. I wish I could help you more, but I send you all my love.
