Friendship

 

Friendship

There are very few things in this world that can steady you like a solid friendship. It's the kind of connection that no words are needed, you just know when you are needed. Many people talk about the importance of soulmate relationships and this is one of them.  Friendship, in its truest form, is saying to another person -

• I see you, 
• I love all sides of you,
• I support you and will be your cheerleader throughout life,
• I will push you to reach your potential, 
• I will not let you go through darkness alone,
• I will sit beside you when your world crashes down,
• I will laugh with you at the absurdity of life,
• I will stand in front of you when you need a shield and behind you when you need support.

Make sure you take a moment today to connect with your friends still here and those friends who have passed on and are now your guardian angels.

Rise

 

Rise

There is a hard fact in life. Many people will choose position, a title, status, or more money even if it means stomping over you to get there. Somewhere along the way people became a commodity and are no longer viewed as the greatest asset. Even worse, when you feel something is off in your gut and confront a situation, you are met with only what can be described as a dance routine of gaslighting. 

No matter what the situation, it's time to change the narrative. Always know your worth. Know that no matter what is said, you and you alone know your truth. Although it's hard at times, never let the bastards grind you down.  Instead, rise like the Phoenix you are and trust that your gut will guide you to the next right thing.

Love

 

Love

Love is an incredible gift. Feeling loved and being loved (by anyone) can fill you up with such love yourself. Love comes in so many forms.  Love can be support. Love can be a shoulder to lean on. Love can be a healthy physical touch. Love can be laughter. That's the amazing thing about love, it can keep building and shifting forms but ultimately, it's still love at its core.  The true gift is to turn that love into unconditional love; meaning I will love you with no "but".... (healthy love that is).  Now this kind of love is harder but the love is that much greater and profound. When you can maintain love at the core, you will be guided differently, you will pause before you respond to something, you will look for the deeper meaning in any given situation, and above all, you will understand that true love, unconditional love, has no ending.
