It’s my birthday today and I gotta say, I feel conflicted…
On one hand, I feel sadness. Chapters have ended, and I’ve been to way too many funerals.
But on the other hand, I am overwhelmed with joy! Talents have been discovered, my eyes, heart, and mind are free, and I’ve been blessed with several new beginnings.
Everyone says that growing up is hard, but I never understood why?
To be honest, my competitive nature enjoys the consistent challenges. Yes, I get tired, (and at times it gets ugly) but I’ve realized that those challenges were exactly what I needed to open the next door… So I began to invite them, like the crazy person that I am.
Anyway, this is for Taynah, and for anyone else that can relate…. I love you, dude.
If you wish to follow along to my voice, enjoy the audio below:
Dear Taynah,
You are pure and kind and brave.
Keep going. Don’t worry about the how? And trust that there will be an if.
You are boundless to your possibilities, as you radiate light everywhere you go.
The beauty of the world lies within you, as does the grace of all that’s touched holiness.
A creator, an alien, a child, a human being…. you are that and everything in between.
Trust me, you got this.
Believe in your power and never forget your why.
Absorb, release, evolve, and transform!
Dance to the rhythm of your flow and look to your heart for guidance, for the language of love always speaks your highest truth.
Time is your friend. Learn to make it your slave and flourish in the space it provides you.
Patience is a virtue, but it provides the peace you are looking for.
Love… your friend, your mom, your neighbor, your partner. It’ll be worth it.
Speak your truth immediately and accept that others are not always going to like it.
Travel endlessly in every direction you can go! The world is a small place and entirely within your reach.
Cry, a lot. Surrender to that which makes you feel small, so that you can see that it is not so big.
But above all, have fun! Laugh until your insides hurt, and then laugh some more. The finest medicine can be found in a single giggle.
Don’t give up, I promise you’re not alone. I’m proud of you. There is so much left unknown yet you stand tall and proud.
Unafraid to step out of your comfort zone in order to deliver your purpose.
Happy Birthday My Love! May this new year around the sun be filled with veracious love and impenetrable peace.
Here’s to 26, Love y’all… Happy Friday Everyone!
