This is for you.
You know who you are.
I have said this before, I will say it again:
You are enough.
You have enough.
You do enough.
(thank you to Sark for these words; let's all tattoo them on our hearts)

Amen, Anne Lamott, amen!

If someone treats/treated you poorly, it is on THEM, not on you. Don't tolerate anyone else's bad behavior anymore. YOU are way too sacred for that.

"Some people are artists, others are art. You, I am sure, are the best of both." - Ariana (eyecandypictures)

I just love this quote. I consider myself to be an artist. I will try and consider myself to be art as well.

What about you?

The wind has a way of blowing us off course. But it doesn't have to be like that. Adjust your sails.

What small change can you make right now to get you on course to your destination?

"She made the broken look beautiful."

How do we do this? By owning everything that has ever happened to us. We can't change the past, and we don't have to be embarrassed by it. We are who we are right now because of our history.

This quote reminds me of the Japanese phrase "wabi-sabi":

"Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional. ... The closest English word to wabi-sabi is probably "rustic". ... Things wabi-sabi are unstudied and inevitable looking. .. unpretentious. .. Their craftsmanship may be impossible to discern."

("Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers", by Leonard Koren)

What broken parts of yourself can you rethink of as beautiful?

XO, m.
