Healing wholly
openheartedly, representing a cause
I didn’t know I stood for.
You got under my skin
just like I couldn’t bother to
keep denying myself my truth.

I remember as far back as three,
possibly a younger me.
This wide expanse of life
appeared unfathomable,
impossibly mystical.
I wondered why nobody else
saw this space like I did.

I’m learning my individuality isn’t
a part of myself to cast too far off.
There is hope in all these oppositional
sides of who I came to be.
They’re coming together
like a Christmas bow,
golden and shining under an array
of colors that rain down overhead.

I was NEVER a mistake,
not something to leave behind.
I’m a budding blossom,
growing in an unfamiliar garden.

    It’s a wonderful feeling when you start to truly accept yourself for who you are.

        I’m doing pretty well. I’m trying to live more in the moment and just enjoy the time I have with my daughter before going back to work in the New Year. We’re planning on taking her to the cabin for the first time this weekend which should be fun. Might as well enjoy the warmer weather and the last of the fall colours while we can. Hope all is well with you these days. Have a fabulous weekend!
