I used to believe
that I had to learn
how to love myself
before I could take care
of myself.

But I’ve realized that
taking care of myself
is actually teaching me
how to love myself.

This is your time
to no longer be who you were,
to rise from the embers,
to be guided by Her.

This is your time
to be carried by Grace,
out of the matrix
and away from the race.

This is your time
to forever change the rest,
to untame, to shift, to lead,
and live blessed.

When you stop trying
to fit into a world
that you don’t belong to anymore,
you grow
and automatically start a new one
but with relaxed shoulders,
more laughter,
and way more magic.

If you’ve had a hard time
replacing pain with love,
you’re not alone.

Embrace all of you.

It takes more than
the sun to make
a rainbow.
