hello beautiful!

Hello Beautiful,
There is so much I want you to know. Like how proud I am of you and how deeply I adore your wide open heart. You shine a light in this world like no other and I am grateful to be within it's rays.
I honor the journey you have traveled. How grateful I am to have had the opportunity to watch you grow. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes.
I see your strength.
I see how hard you try.
I see the way you show up.
You are determined. You chase after your dreams with wild abandon even when you do not know where you will end up. You lean deeply in and follow your heart. You take risks and jump into the great unknown. You are braver than you ever give yourself credit for.
Stop for a moment and look around. Did you ever think you would end up here? So deeply loved. In a kind and caring relationship. Unearthing your passions. Adored by your nieces and nephews and spending so much divine time with family. You have really come so far.
I know, I know. There is so many more roads you are looking to travel. I understand that and appreciate your hunger. But do not allow that hunger to blind you from all that you have accomplished and all that you have made it through.
Your patient and tender heart encourages others to open up their own hearts. Your calm and gentle soul slows people down and reminds them to savor the moment. Do not ever stop being who you are. Embrace your quietness. You connect with others through your thoughtful words. Know that you never have to pretend to be somebody else.
I love you. I cherish your curiosity and passion for adventure. Keep running. Keep riding. Keep moving your body and navigating your own path forward. You know as much as I do that you were never meant for the conventional path. It just isn't in you, and that is ok. What is wonderful is that others see that in you. They know that you shine your brightest when you step boldly into yourself. Keep stepping into yourself, always.
And remember you are loved. So deeply loved.
xoxo Love,
Your Biggest Fan!

you are not alone

If there is one thing I could tell you in this moment it would be that you are not alone. I know there are times when it may feel that way. You think no one understands you and you are on an island. But here is the thing. You are not.
You are not alone
There are individuals who love and adore you. They are cheering you on. They want to see you smile. They care deeply about it. I know when you are in the thick of it, it is hard to see that they are there. But they are.
Do not hesitate to reach out. They want to help you. They want to be there for you. Sometimes people don't know you are going through something until you tell them. Don't be shy. Share your heart. Be vulnerable. Be brave. When you do this others see your strength. They feel your heart. And they lean deeply in.
We are all human and we have the same feelings and emotions. We may not all go through the same experiences, but we understand the feelings. We know what hurt, disappointment, fear, love, and sadness feels like. When we see others hurting, we want to help.
So remember. You are not alone, ever.
need to hear

I reached out to the Love Notes Facebook Community and my friends on facebook asking them what they most need to hear in this moment. The responses were incredible, inspiring, and many of them were exactly what I needed to hear as well. It goes to show you that we are all connected and even when we think we are alone there is someone else out there who is feeling the same way we are.
The images above are the responses. I invite you to pour a cup of tea and take a moment to scroll through. We are each human filled with ebbs and flows of emotions and sometimes we just need to hear that we will be ok.
