Your younger self? She’s out there or in there; watching in the wings.

She sees you now and sits in wonder – awe struck!

She stands there smiling as she weeps with tears of sheer joy at watching you rise.

She admits, she wasn’t sure if you would be able to withstand that tsunami you didn’t see coming

She marvels at how you calmed the winds, rode the waves and danced in the rains!

She is somewhere right now – up on her feet giving you a standing ovation for how far you have come. And she cheering for you – loudly to keep going.

She wants you to know she is shaken by your unbreakable spirit, your sheer strength, humbled by your courage and inspired by your beautiful magnificent soul!

You managed to keep your heart open after all the times it had been broken!

You CHOSE empathy over conviction and you held hands with others along the way!

Can you see her?

What is she saying?

I think she’s calling out to say – I see you. I love you and I am so f*cking proud of you!
