Dear Friend:
You made it so clear, you said what I wanted to hear.
You said you would stay the night.
You told me it would be all right.
You told me you would always be near.
My heart wanted to believe your lips.
My ears listened to your words oh so sweet.
My mouth wanted to kiss away your lies.
My soul yearned for release.
In that moment of passion, you believed it too.
In that moment of wanting, you whispered my heart's unspoken desire.
In that moment I was left wishing for more,wanting to even the score.
I left loving you, loving you from afar.
Dear Friend,
The lessons I have learned this year have created a new direction. My inner guide is singing with joy, and dancing in the living room when no one is watching. May you find inspiration in my words, may you find solace and light.
Resistance to change creates more resistance.
Relax and read the signs, pushing a door that is marked PULL will not open the door to success, only create frustration. Create your own fortune by relaxing into the NOW and enjoying the scenery.
Breathing isn't optional.
When life gets hectic, stop and take a deep breath, and then take another one. Until you are calm.
Naps as an adult are pretty cool.
Unless you wake up wondering what century it is or where you left your socks. Allow yourself to swim in a sea of possibilities, meditate and create.
Be kind, smile a lot and talk to random strangers.
Your energy changes the energy of those around you. The most interesting stories come from a passing conversation in the parking lot.
Don't give up. Ever.
Create your own story, mistakes are only failures if you miss the opportunity to use them as stepping stones to a better view.
Trust yourself. Always.
Your gut is never wrong, though sometimes we want it to be. Just because you want something doesn't mean its good for you. Trust yourself to know the difference.
Dear Friend,
A little birdie came to visit me today. He flew in the window when I opened it to let in a breeze. I wanted him to leave, he came closer instead. He landed on my finger, and said not a word. He seemed tired, so tired of life and the things he had seen.
I wanted to set him free, I wanted him to fly away and find a different life, one with happiness and joy. His sorrow was too much to bear for his little heart, he sat on the counter and looked at me.
I wonder if he wanted to tell me something, something I needed to hear. I wonder if he lost his way, and was resting before trying again. Where were his friends, what did he need? I stood by feeling helpless, then this little birdie became my friend.
A little birdie came to visit me today. Then, he flew away.
Dear Friend,
Today is the day to take charge, imagine new possibilities, make things happen. Believe in your dreams, create a new path to success. You have waited long enough, it's time to manifest your destiny.
Your fear is a ghost keeping you from your greatest potential, brush it aside and stride toward the future. Bring your best battle cry, wear your finest superpower and capture the rainbow. You have paid your dues, taken your vows, and made your sacrifices. The time is now, put those experiences beneath your feet and use them as stepping stones to your future.
Today is the day my friend! Go forth - dream, create, imagine, and walk boldly into your new reality.
Dear Friend,
I saw you today.
It's been a while since I reluctantly picked up the pieces of my shattered heart and walked away from you. The pain and fear that held me hostage have grown into a strong vulnerability, a quiet faith in myself.
I still miss the idea of you, the ways I imagined it could be.
The reality was broken promises and empty words meant to keep me hanging on. I have accepted my part in the drama, and released myself from the guilt I created in my core.
As you walked out the door carrying your burden without a word or glance my direction - I realized I had waited long enough.
I could say hello and goodbye in the same breath without breaking.
Dear Friend,
My Friend, you are so beautifully broken.
All your pieces bent and twisted, a mosaic of life carved out of sorrow and regret. Shattered and destroyed so deeply by your past, your
future seems lonely and love forsaken. I see your injured soul, your
frightened determination to keep out the demons of bygone mistakes.
The fear and mistrust keep you from experiencing the love you can have, just a breath away. I see your yearning, the bitter taste of past disappointment keeping you locked away in the dungeon of your own creation. You don't realize the chains that bind you are made of misunderstandings and regret.
You are so beautifully broken, like a stained glass masterpiece created from the splintered shards discarded after an unspoken promise is shattered. Standing alone in your pain, no one allowed close enough to touch your essence.
Time and again life has tossed you into the waves of despair and you have drowned without a safe haven. I feel your desolation, trapping you beneath a sea of sorrow.
Pause a moment my broken friend, breathe in and feed your heart and soul with an unending acceptance of you - as you are.
Breathe, trust and step into a beautiful tomorrow.
Dear Friend,
My dear, you have arrived! You have found your power and joy, you are no longer afraid of what you might become.
You are accepting your reality, creating beautiful growth from what used to be paralyzing pain. You have learned to speak your truth with love, and hold the pain of another in your heart without being overwhelmed by it.
Lucky you! You have touched a deep joy many yearn for at the core of their being. Better yet, you are lifting up those around you effortlessly just by being yourself.
What a beautiful gift you have my friend, it grows each time you give it away. There will be moments of self doubt and pain, you are only human after all. When those times happen, reach out and touch your faith, it's there for you too.
Don't be afraid of your power, you were given this gift for a reason. Let your intuition guide you toward your greatest good.
Break down the walls of shame and sorrow, melt away the years of darkness.
Be kind, love hard, share joy.
You my friend ARE the gift.
