A miracle, happened, for me.
A miracle, happened, in me.
A miracle, was given, to me.
For the last 30 plus years, I have worked my fingers, to the bone. I have strived, to be, to do, to give, to this, to that. In hopes, I told myself, that I could build enough equity. In order to, build enough equity, to be counted worthy ‘enough’ to share these words:
You are loved.
You are not alone.
I believed, wrongly, my words, alone, were not enough, to reach enough, souls.
I believed, foolishly, my words, alone, were not enough, not really, to touch enough, hearts.
I believed, sadly, my words, alone, were not enough. Meaning, I was not enough.
I believed, wholeheartedly, my words, needed/required, a platform, before I could be:
Seen.
Heard.
Valued.
Cherished.
Not just for me. But, for others. That they might know they are seen, heard, valued and cherished.
Your ♥ heart, beloveds, is the only platform you shall ever need. Share it. Often. Liberally. Joyfully.
The world needs all that your precious heart and life contains. You, dear one, need all that the universe has saved up, just for you. Be encouraged. Go now. Go on now. I go with you…
His and yours,
Sweetpea
