Again, the dearest to whom I text wishes every day. The wishes are getting longer. And longer. And longer. Some days she beats me to it and texts them to me first. I have to admit that reading them is beyond. Beyond soothing. Beyond healing. Beyond joying.

Last week whilst I was “running” on the trail, I passed two women deep in conversation. “I’m so proud of myself,” I heard one say. “I’m so proud of you and happy for you!” the other replied. I hit the end of the trail, turned around, and passed them again. They were having the same conversation. “I’m so glad I took care of myself,” the first said, with clear tremors in her voice. “I am too,” her friend offered. I got about ten feet from them, having my own conversation – dare I say debate – in my head.

“You can start your day over at any time,” I used to tell my older child when they were little. They being them, they would pretend to get out of bed, get dressed, have breakfast, brush their teeth, and start their day. Not exactly what I meant, but it worked. Of course it was my yoga instructor who reminded me of this recently, as we held a tough position during class. It’s a truth I think I unconsciously practice but consciously have forgotten.

I’m deep in my yoga practice (yes, I love and live by – and for – my yoga practice!). The music is playing. I’m finding my pose. Then I hear these words (from the music, not the universe directly). You’re beautiful just as you are. So many of us learned that this isn’t true. So many of us internalized that this isn’t true in order to survive. So many of us tell ourselves the opposite. Every. Single. Day. That s—t has to stop!Sure, there are ways each of us could be better, whatever that means.

Again yoga. Again something beautiful to hear and take in. How often do I say that? Of course the instructor was talking about our yoga poses. Look with your eyes where and how you want your body to move and be, and it will. If not now, then eventually. And of course, it is about way more than yoga, as it usually is, especially with this instructor. I first heard this concept when I was learning to drive, and I would turn to look at something and nearly drive off the road.

I'm watching how often I think I'm right to question it to be open to other possibilities and as someone who was groomed to doubt my rightness, to doubt myself to also know my truth as mine #FirstMostAlways #cultsurvivor #keynotespeaker #bookmetospeak #motivationalspeaker https://t.co/7XR3kV7Pzb
