5 Healing Life Lessons from INSIDE OUT 2

About 3 weeks back I had the pleasure of watching “Inside Out 2” with my family, and I must say it’s an amazing film. I love how the movie shows how different emotions affect young people today.

At first, it focuses on simple emotions like Joy, Fear, Sadness, Anger, and Disgust, a.k.a. the five core emotions. But as the character goes through puberty, more complex emotions like Anxiety, Embarrassment, Envy, and Boredom start to appear. Very very relatable, no matter what age you are.

Soulful Alchemy: Transformative Poems for The Soul by Jenny Garufi~Book Review&Author Interview

“Poetry has also been my therapy. It has helped me process some of the grief after losing my mom as well as helped me integrate some life lessons.” ~ Jenny Garufi

I love how from the beginning of this book, Jenny’s poems nudged my heart to grow bigger and warmer. The positive loving energy of her poetry is transformative to the heart and soul…and such a welcome gift in a world where vulnerability and authenticity is seen as a weakness rather than a strength.

“Gratitude is the seed
That helps our joy to grow
It plants love and appreciation
Connecting us to flow.
People tend to focus
On negativity and what is wrong
But that feeds disempowerment, weakness
Instead of feeling empowered and strong.”
a few lines from the Gratitude poem by Jenny Garufi|Soulful Alchemy

Jenny’s poems cover topics like gratitude, grief, healing, oneness, chakras. energy and self worth. Each poem more beautiful than the other and each deeply moving and inspiring.
