You arrived…walls up…dukes up and armed with words to defend and protect yourself…
We saw your heart the first day we met you and that is the YOU that we sought to unfold…
From that very first day, we embraced you and sought to undo all that you had come to believe about yourself … All of the negatives fed to you that you had eaten without question … That you had come to own as truth
Your defensive words and loudness left us loving you more..we fed you words of encouragement and of love…we met you where you were and challenged you… We empowered you and you rose to meet us…
You were surrounded by friends that showed you that no matter what… they accepted you…and enjoyed you…
You grew comfortable in your new skin… The one that accepted hugs… that embraced you that is compassionate…you that began to breathe your strong and loving self that always had the opportunity to turn it around…
We rallied for this new you and reminded you that what was old had passed away, was no longer truth about you… You inhaled and exhaled knowing we had your back and you were loved…no matter what…
May you move forward with ownership of your love and compassion … Forgiving yourself in troubled moments and not motioning in any way to reclaim what was once breathed over you as someone else’s idea of your truth.. Continue to grow in your kindness and power of YOU that we have all come to see…and that we have all come to love…
