I have an eternal flame, a stake, a divine purpose, and a ground to support me.

My best friend had told me to remind myself each day: "Every day, in every way, I get better and better." This beautiful wisdom has served me for the past couple of years, and I've navigated through beautiful and murky, stepping into a new and refreshing self. Another phase comes to an end today, and a new one begins. I feel connected through a golden thread to other pure hearts all around the world, the ones that chose to join into this goldenness and truly believe in letting flow through them. I saw my heart, I saw my soul, I danced, I sang, I asked some critical questions, I let myself cry like a baby, and I let myself step into womanhood and own it without fear and without apologies. I made some commitments to myself and to this world. I feel blessed, I feel grounded, I feel loved, I am safe, protected, guided and thankful, hopeful and curious.

A song I discovered today, and one I want to be able to refer back to, in life:

I've decided to be happy
I've decided to be glad
I've decided to be grateful
For all I ever had
I've decided to let go
Of all this pain tonight
I've decided to let go
Of all these demons inside

I know...I am blessed
I know...all I ever wanted was this
I know...I don't need more
I've got... what I came for

I've decided to be open
For that little voice inside
Telling me I'm beautiful
It's okay to be alive
I've decided to be kinder
To myself when I am sad
I've decided to be grateful
For all I ever had
