Yesterday was my birthday + I knew it was going to feel like something was missing. Like clockwork, my grandparents had sung to me every year without missing a beat. I cherished the off-tune melody of their, "happy birthday" song. Now that they've passed, that annual tradition was gone. In a moment of grief + sadness I found myself crying, wishing for family connection. And then I remembered, I have access to all of that - the shape of it is just different... They ARE singing, but even louder now! Through the birds + the wind + the plants. They are a part of the universe in a way I can always access. People often say we treat our friends better than we treat ourselves. So I took that idea + wrote myself a letter. As if I were my best friend reminding me all I needed to hear. Those things only a best friend would know. Then I realized, I AM my best friend! And that's been the most incredible shift in my 34 year relationship with myself. Do yourself the best favor + truly love yourself. For you are the only one who can know what it's like to be you. And when you know what you need, you can give it to yourself instead of hoping someone else will. When you're in alignment w/ your values, life is truly what you desire. Are you?
