Dear Me

Dear Me,
How are you? I saw you the other day and you looked worried. So, I decided to drop you a few lines and remind you, I have your back. It's hard when you're so accustomed to putting other's feelings, wants and needs above your own. You tend to lose sight and forget about yourself. Don't do it girl, not worth it.

Stop letting people, their thoughts and actions towards you hold up space in your heart. Replace it with this affirmation," Until they know you, they can't judge you". Everyone will have opinions but in the long run, yours is what matters.

Live a life worth talking about: and not the negative. You've overcome alot. Hurt,lies,bad relationships,deaths, failures and even mistreatment. You took what was meant to hurt you and you survived. Don't forget its okay to cry. Let your tears heal you. They are not signs of weakness but signs of being human and having feelings too.

You are an excellent mother too!! Not only are you loved by your natural children but the hundreds you touched during your time as Youth Worker. So, many of them still call you MA and for that you should smile.

I'm writing you this letter because in my book you rock. Every once in a while remind yourself. Get pretty and make it about you.

As I close this letter, I'm reminded of this woman I know. She's strong, a go getter, imperfect but loves whole heartedly. She's overcome failure and in her own little way, she's making a GREAT impact on her side of the world. You know who she is? YOU!!

Now keeping Making me Proud!!
I love you,
Signed,
YOU!!
