If only you could see yourself
The way others see you
Even if it was
For just a brief moment
If only you could see
The joy you bring
and the love you spread
by simply being you
All the pieces of you
Including the messy ones
and the ones not all together
All of them are you
It is all of these pieces
That others love
And adore in you
And if only
you
Could see and feel that
Through their eyes
Then you would see
How incredible you really are
Just because you are YOU
Sometimes we do not realize
how far we have come
until we take a step back
and look at where we were a year ago
I took a trip into my past
Looking back to April 16, 2009
What amazed me
was what I posted
is so appropriate for how I feel today
So I am going to let those words
do the talking today
Because they speak so clearly
What I feel in my heart
Our eyes met
For a brief moment
The world stopped around me
The laughter from a few feet away
The sound of the someone walking up behind me
The worry of how I was going to get all of this done
All of it was silenced when our eyes interlocked and you waved
My hear skipped a beat
Butterflies filled my
stomach
A smile formed across my checks
All of this may sound heavenly
But oh
How I wish it did not happen
I wish I could walk past you and feel
Nothing
But I do
I feel it
It cuts me deep inside
And I must continue on
As if it were a normal day
It does not have to be large
Huge or substantial
It does not have to take up a lot of time
Or extreme dedication
It can be as simple as extending a hand
Taking a moment to listen
Letting the person behind you go first
Or simply just smiling at a stranger
It is these small moments
That make such a huge difference
The unexpected thoughtfulness
The unanticipated kind remark
Something so tiny for you
Could mean the world to someone else
Brighten someones day
Remind them that there is still good in the world
So, I dare you
To take take that moment
And do something for someone else
Remember it is the smallest actions that lead to great things
*I would love to hear all about the
kindness
you are spreading to others
Lets sprinkle it all around so it sparkles like glitter*
She wonders what it was that brought her here
To this moment
To this feeling
To this deep need to feel more
She wonders if she will ever know
If she will ever get it right
If she will ever be able to trust that little voice
If her heart will ever know her true calling
She wonders why it can be so tough at times
Why the struggles seem never ending
Why the tears pour down her cheek
Why she feels so alone
She knows that she is deeply loved
She is seen and accepted
She is filled with magic and joy
She is surrounded by support
She stands
Feet planted firmly on the ground
Standing tall
Head held high
This is her moment
And she knows she must continue on
