The Letter Love Wrote
20 Sep
Dear…Me,
Lately? I haven’t been very good at expressing my love for you. There’s been a lot of make wrong, and judging and assessing going on and it hasn’t been pretty.
I’ve been focused on work and getting things done, mostly noticing what you haven’t accomplished. I’ve thought and said things to you that I would never, ever say to another. I am so…sorry.
When I think of what you’ve been through the past year and a half, I almost swoon with pride. Really I do. I just don’t tell you enough.
I save that for others.
Maybe I think they need it more than you do. You’ve always been so strong, so independant.
Maybe I’m afraid loving you so boldly, publicly will look…weird, self indulgent, uncommon.
But would that be so bad?
Just let me hold your hand for a moment.
Remember how you loved holding hands as a child? Let’s do that now while I whisper sweet somethings in your ear…
I love how,
- You trusted your heart for the first time in so very long and said, “I do.”
- You listened patiently (and sometimes not) for what was next. The pull towards DOING was magnetic, but you kept returning yourself to BEING. Watching you was inspiring.
- You trusted your intuition, more and more, until now? It’s becoming a natural way of being.
- You recommitted to your Self, your dreams, your future – as a woman, a wife, a coach and most recently, a writer.
- You were brave! I could hardly watch when you declared I Am A Writer, even when you weren’t writing, until not writing became unbearable and the words began pouring out of you.
If I could say anything, I’d say:
You are a Shining. Your being here makes a difference.
And your only job?
Is to keep shining.
