Smiling Through the Storm: A Journey of Love and Thankfulness

-

 My Dearest Self,


What a sight we are today! A reflection of peace, strength slowly making its grand comeback. As we navigate through the healing process, I can't help but overflow with love and appreciation for the journey we're on.


Gratitude has become our daily companion, hasn't it? Today, I find myself basking in the glory of both the grand and the minuscule. Those beautiful everyday moments that sneak in, making us smile, bringing a serene peace to our chaotic world. It's as if the universe is whispering, "Hey, you've got this."


Even the challenges and tearful moments have their own special place in my heart. They've molded us, tested our resilience, and heck, sometimes even brought a sassy tear to our eyes. But here we are, standing strong.


Let's not forget the incredible people who've shaped our journey. Past or present, family and friends who wrap us in unconditional love, those little humans whose laughter is like music for the soul. And oh, the unsung heroes—the ones whose words of encouragement, maybe even those reading this, have been a silent force lifting us over the years.


Life, my love, is a tapestry woven with a million little moments. Today, I'm thankful for each one. The moments of grace that humbled us and taught us invaluable lessons. Those unexpected opportunities that waltzed into our lives, leaving us pleasantly surprised. And let's not overlook the strangers turned lifelines, reminding us that connections, like magic, can happen when you least expect it.


I'm thankful for the creative fire within us, for the capacity to love fiercely. These elements, my beautiful soul, have been our guides, teaching us the art of gratitude. Life itself is a gift, and I'm here to unwrap it with you, savoring every twist and turn.


So here's to us, to our journey, to the laughter and the tears, to the challenges and the victories. Life is a grand adventure, and I'm immensely grateful to be living it with you.


With all my love,

You

  Dear Me, As I sit here on the back porch of the sanctuary I now call home, sipping on a cup of soul-warming coffee, enveloped in the soothing embrace of reggae music, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Grateful for the person looking back at me in the mirror, a person I've come to be genuinely proud of over this past transformative year. This year, I made a conscious effort to observe myself without the harsh lens of judgment. Judgment, I realized, was my signal that I had stumbled upon a trigger—an opportunity for self-discovery. Instead of condemning myself, I chose curiosity. I delved into the why behind these triggers and uncovered a tapestry woven with threads of self-abuse, rejection, resentment, guilt, and unworthiness. It was a daunting revelation, but one that I faced head-on. In the chaos of negative emotions, I learned the art of pause. Life, I discovered, unfolds more effortlessly when we heed the warning signs and allow ourselves redi

Facing the Truth

  Dear Me, It's time to face the truth. The truth that you have been avoiding. The truth hiden behind the veil of unworthiness and preceived damage. As your soul.... I'm here to speak my truth....So here it goes..... I just want you to know how special you are. You often look at yourself thinking you made bad decisions in the past. But you didn’t. You experienced situations that made you be you. We all make choices; some we love, others we hate. But that is not a direct reflection of you as a person. Your heart is pure. You do things from a place of love. You have always seen the best in people when others see the worst. You have always been the champion of the underdog because you know what it feels like to be the underdog. You wake up every day with an excitement of what the day holds. You spend your day filling people’s cups. Helping them see their value within themselves. You are the biggest cheerleader. You have always wanted to see people win. You never place judgment o

The Nagging belief of Unworthiness

-
  Dear Me, As I gaze at our reflection in the mirror today, I'm struck by the enduring desire we've always held—to be uniquely and unapologetically ourselves. We've consistently chosen the path less traveled, forging our own way even when it meant going against the grain. There's a certain exhilaration in being courageous enough to stand out, to articulate the unsaid with both grace and love. But there's a part of us that still lingers in the shadows, hesitant to emerge fully. I find myself wondering about the roots of that fear, and as I reflect, I see threads of it woven into the tapestry of our past. Growing up in a home marked by domestic violence, we learned the art of invisibility—stay silent, don't draw attention. Being a Native American brought its own set of lessons, teaching us to shy away from the spotlight for fear of danger, even death.   Childhood beatings and the echoes of being told that children should neither be seen nor heard added anoth
