Dear Perfectly Imperfect Girl,
It's hard to remember that we can't be much good to anyone at all if we don't take care of ourselves. Even though there may be people all around us who need help, who need assistance, who need advice, who need a hug, who need a friend, who need a clean towel, who need a sandwich.....we've all got to have the energy to do these things each day, and we can not expect our bodies to carry us forward without recharging. We kind not expect our mind to have fresh ideas and our hearts to have patience. We have to refill ourselves.
Just like we are told on an airplane before a flight...before reaching out to help another, we must have our own oxygen masks on. It is not taking anything away from anyone else when we take some time each day to catch our breath, recharge, restore and remember.
We must.
Take time to take care....you are so important. And you are loved.
xoxo

Dear Spectacular Girl,
Your heart knows what step to take next. It may not know what step to take after that, but it does know exactly what to do next.
Take it day by day. Take the step today that your gut is telling you to take. Tomorrow, take another step. Sometimes....all we can do is what we can do today. Sometimes all that we can do is what we can do in THIS MINUTE.
Please don't get caught up in the feeling of overwhelm that comes when we try to figure out what to do next month, next year, in 5 years. Sometimes all we know is where we are supposed to be moment by moment, and that is 100% ok.
Keep being brave...
You are so very loved.
xoxo

Dear Precious Girl,
You go and you go and you go...and so often, you still feel like you have not done nearly enough.
Please, dear friend...let yourself feel at peace once you have done all that you can do.
The world will not stop, no one's like will be ruined, you will not lose your standing or your friends or family if you stop and rest when you need to stop and rest.
Sometimes you might forget that you are not a machine or a robot and that you have human limitations to your time and energy. Everyone does.
So give yourself a break. Recharge, rest, restore, and renew. Fill yourself back up so that you can keep shining that beautiful radiant life of yours.
Now go take a break.
You are so very loved.
xoxo

Dear Brilliant Girl,
It's scary to love deeply, to love really really really really deeply, to look others in the eyes and love them no matter when you see or what you get back from them.
It's scary because we are all afraid of rejection, of not being enough of the right stuff to be loved back the way that we feel we need to be loved.
Try to love this week just for the sake of loving, expecting absolutely nothing in return. Try not to take offense at snarky comments or disappointing interactions with people in your life.
Love them anyway. Smile at them anyway. Encourage them anyway.
Give everything you've got as an act of love to yourself, because it feels good. Be the best, happiest, most generous person you have ever met simply for the joy it brings to you. Any wonderful response you get back will just be an added bonus - not something you expect or even hope will happen.
Try it, brave brave girl. You will be amazed, and you might even get addicted to this way of living. It's where the good stuff is.
Have an absolutely fabulous week, and remember that you are so loved!
xoxo

Dear Incomparable Girl,
It's so worth it to do the work to figure out just what it is that brings the sparkle into your eyes.
You are different from anyone else who ever came before you and anyone who will ever come after; your likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, talents, experiences, quirks and motivations are unique to you.
Try not to get caught up in searching for happiness in someone else's version of life. You are not like anyone else. It's okay if your greatest joys come from reading a book, or going for a walk, or talking to a child, or hiking a mountain. Not everyone finds joy in running marathons, not everyone finds joy in reading books! Find out what really lights you up and then search for more of THAT in your life, even if it isn't the thing that the world is telling you that you should want.
Just be you, then be true to that YOU. The world needs you in all of your alive-ness. You can't come completely alive until you know what it is that gets you there. And once you know for sure, own it, protect it, and embrace it. Search it out and hold on to it -- ENJOY IT.
You are loved.
xoxo

Dear Sparkling Girl,
It would be nice if it was different, but the truth is...not everyone is going to understand you. Not everyone is going to understand your heart, your tenderness, your intentions. Not everyone is going to "get" you. Not everyone is going to appreciate you. Not everyone is going to see you, notice you and recognize you. Not everyone is going support you.
Beautiful friend, don't let ANY of that stop you or slow you down.
We have to do the things we know to do, the things our hearts ache to do. We have to do those things in the ways that only WE can do them, in the ways that are most authentic & most truth-filled for each of us.
When we do things from a soul-deep place, we must find our validation from the source of those things -- not from what others think.
People who do things from their souls SPARKLE and they attract other SPARKLING people. If there are those who can't stand the brightness of your sparkle, you just have to let it go and shine on. And then shine and shine and shine.
You were BORN to shine...you were born to sparkle.
You are so very loved.
xoxo

Dear Seeking Girl,
Have you ever been disappointed? Have you ever carefully planned, or saved, or studied, or sacrificed, and still had a big disappointment come into your life and knock the wind out of you?
That big disappointment could end up being one of the BEST things that ever happen to you.
Sometimes NOT getting what you thought you wanted is the greatest, most miraculous blessing that you can ever count in your life. It can save you from so much heartache, and it can keep you on the exact path you were meant to be on.....or even lead you to the right path.
It is difficult to do....but please just trust. Trust that you will all end up exactly where you are supposed to be, to learn exactly what you are supposed to learn and to become exactly who you are meant to become.
Everything always works out somehow, doesn't it? It's okay to cry a few tears over the disappointment, friend...but then step into the warm, sunny light of your beautiful future. It is gonna be SO GOOD.
You are so very loved.
xoxo

Dear Forgiving Girl,
Almost nothing feels worse than carrying around a grudge. It is a bitter taste and a stinging pain and a heavy load that no one else can see, but that clings to us without a rest from it until we finally decide to put it down, wish it well and walk away. Even better, bury it first.
Forgiveness is often difficult because endings are not always clean and neat, and we like clean and neat endings. Often we hold on to something because somewhere in our hearts, we are hoping that somehow, somewhere, in some way there can finally be a way to make a clean and neat ending. Forgiveness requires a bit of grieving and accepting the "death" of what we may have hoped could be but wasn't, and isn't, and maybe can never be. Forgiveness lets us create a proper, dignified burial of the hope that we had in that clean ending and lets us say goodbye to it in a gentle, kind and powerful way.
Often we don't forgive because we feel like whatever or whoever we are forgiving does not "deserve" our forgiveness. But, beautiful soul, it is not about the who or the what. It is about YOU and YOUR soul and how your back aches and your soul aches from carrying that yuckiness around with you everywhere.
Today is a great day to finally let it go. Say goodbye to it and let it go.
Ahhhhh -- doesn't that feel good?
You are so very very very loved.
xoxo

Dear Gorgeous Girl,
Sometimes it's hard to remember that today won't end with a "THE END" but that the story of our lives will go on tomorrow. Today will end with a "TO BE CONTINUED".
The mercy in all of this is that we truly DO get to start over every single day, writing the story of our lives one experience at a time, but that the story gets to go on. And things get to resolve themselves and plots can twist and turn and characters can make their way in and out of the story. But every day, the story goes on.
If you are in a place, dear girl, a place that you don't want to be, just know that the story is not over. It is far from over. The rest of your life has yet to be written.
Make it a good one, and wait it out when all you can do is wait. Everything always works out somehow, and most of the time in ways we weren't expecting, but ways that are so much better than what we ever wished for.
Stay with it. Be true to you. YOU are the main character. Be exactly who you are.
You are so very loved, dear friend.
xoxo

Dear Brilliant Girl,
The crazy life is oh so tempting....ohhhh sooooo tempting. It is tempting to go go go and prove prove prove and seek seek seek for apPROVE-al, isn't it? It is tempting to do what everyone else is doing...and to make it shiny and sparkly and perfect and wonderful and to sacrifice anything and everything to make it so. It is oh-so-easy to get caught up in the competition...in the comparing...in the craziness of what it *seems* like everyone else is doing.
Beautiful friend...pay attention very closely to how you feel when you are giving in to this kind of temptation. Pay attention to how it feels to go faster than you really have strength to go....to prove that you are just as good, or just as wonderful, or just as talented. Pay attention to how it feels to constantly seek for the approval of others. Pay attention to how it feels to enter into the competition...to compare your life with the life of others. If it doesn't feel good, any of it.......it's time to evaluate it all.
Sometimes we get so caught up in this way of living that we forget that there is another way to live. We don't have to enter in to the crazy life...and even when we do....we really can walk away.
It is worth the hard decision of turning around and walking away from a crazy life. It is always always always worth it to go where the peace is....where the best stuff is.......where we can just BE and not feel like we have to BE ENOUGH. We are ALL already enough.
Go where the peace is, sweet girl. You were always meant to have peace.
You are so very loved.
xoxo

Dear Inspiring Girl,
Try for the next 24 hours to say yes to whatever lessons life is handing you.
Say yes to crazy things that have shown up that you weren't expecting, but that you know are meant just for you. Say yes to the opportunity to love unconditionally, even if it is difficult. Say yes to the opportunity to forgive another, even if it has seemed impossible. Say yes to the things that are creating resistance, because they are making you stronger. Say yes to a disappointment that you wish would have turned out the way you wanted it to...and say yes to what is going to show up in its place.
We bring ourselves so much pain and suffering when we resist the flow of life...when we try to paddle upstream or walk DOWN an escalator that is going UP.
When we can stop and accept the things that we can not change...accept them just as they are....without conditions or expectations...we are free from so many unpleasant things. After we have done all we can, we need to just let things go, and even say yes to the lessons they are bringing to our lives. It is silly and futile when we continue to hold on to the belief that we have control over things that we can never control....outcomes, people, etc.
Trust is powerful. Trust life as it is happening. Let go of any attachments to any specific outcomes. Trust the One who made you, and the plans that are meant for you. Love unconditionally and forgive freely.
C'mon.....just for 24 hours...you can do anything for 24 hours. Chances are...you will love the way this feels so much that you will stick with it even longer. Isn't it worth a try?
You are so loved, never forgotten and never alone.
xoxo

Dear Amazing Girl,
You have done such wonderful things. You really have. You have made differences that you don't even know about, and you have touched lives that you have forgotten about, but that will never be forgotten by the lives you have touched. You have inspired others that you didn't even know were watching and you have taught lessons to others that you didn't even know you were teaching.
Please be kind to yourself, dear friend. Please take this day to see what is right about you instead of being distracted by what you think is wrong with you. Please thank your body for carrying you through your life, and thank your soul for making everything so meaningful. Please see yourself, even if just for a moment, in the absolutely cherished way that you are seen by those who love you, and especially by the One who created you.
You are far too hard on yourself. It's time to treat yourself with the kindness that you deserve. You are just right. You are beautiful. You are capable and you are strong.
Your life matters and YOU matter. Please believe it.
You are so loved.
xoxo

Dear Faithful Girl,
Want to make yourself miserable today? Of course you don't!! But if you did, a great way would be to try to figure out what and where you are going to be in your life a month from now, a year from now, 5 years from now --- and if you will be ok, and how things will EVER possibly work out and if everything is just going to come crashing down one of these days --- to worry worry worry.
But you want to be happy, so you are not going to do that, right?
Please remember, lovely soul, that sometimes all that we REALLY know is that we are ok today. That is all that we NEED to know! SO TODAY is a great place to focus our energy. Please remember that sometimes all we can see is the very next step, so it's ok if all of our energy is simply focused on the very next step, not on the dark uncertainty that seems to stretch out beyond that step.
YOU ARE OK RIGHT NOW. Isn
't that beautiful? You might WISH you were somewhere else, and you might not FEEL 100% ok, but if you really think about it, you have everything you need at this moment, even if it is just enough to survive this moment. And tomorrow you will have everything you need too. You have made it to now, and you have been tough and resilient through all of it. You will continue to make it, and you will continue to have what you need to make it.
Faith is believing in things that we can not see yet, but yet we KNOW in our hearts exist. Keep the faith, beautiful friend, even if it's just a tiny little smidgen of faith. Don't let anything take it away from you.
Because let's face it --- you made it through yesterday, you are making it through today, and you will undoubtedly make it through tomorrow. You will.
Try to smile your way through it. It will make all the difference in the world.
You are loved beyond measure.
xoxo

Dear Insightful Girl,
You already know the answers to the questions that are eating away at you. You just have to trust yourself enough to really listen and be brave with your decisions.
You know oh-so-much-more than you give yourself credit for. You have a good heart and powerful intuition and you really do know the right way to go, that doesn't mean it's always the easiest way to go...but the easiest path never was the most fruitful path, and you are one of the courageous souls who seeks the best fruit.
Trust your gut. It has never led you astray.
You can do it -- you are a Brave Girl. And you are so loved.
xoxo

Dear Brave Girl,
Did you know that you have the right to make rules for your life? Did you know that you are the ONLY one who can make soul deep rules about what you want, how you want to feel, who you want to be with, what you want to spend your energy on and in what ways you want to contribute and give back to the world?
Do you remember that you are the only one who can decide what YOU will tolerate and put up with?
Sometimes, beautiful friend, things happen in life that make us forget that we get to decide. Sometimes we just put ourselves on autopilot and take whatever comes along, thinking that we have to put up with all sorts of abuse, neglect and yuckiness...whether we are doing it to ourselves or letting others have that kind of influence in our lives.
Make some rules...you are worth the time it will take. You are worth the sacrifices it will take. Decide today what you want your life to look like, and then start living in ways that point only to that plan.
It is entirely possible to live the life that your heart yearns to live, friend!! And it is never too late.
You are so very very very loved.
xoxo
