Shine

The journey begins with one single step

One slight subtle movement in a new direction

This little shift can open up your world

 

You may be standing in the vast ocean of despair

The inner critiques shouting their harsh words

You struggling to drown them out

 

Be gentle with yourself in these moments

Look loving in your own eyes

Take time to appreciate the beauty you radiate

 

You are a gift to the universe, just as you are

Offering wisdom, courage, laughter, tears

You breathe life into the every day

 

Dig your roots deep into who you are

Feel how strong you stand grounded in yourself

Reach up towards the sun and shine

 

One loving thought opens the door for more to enter

Speak kindly to your heart

Be gentle with your soul

 

You are creating your story

One word at a time

Fill your book of life with love
