You are a magnificent being
One of my dearest friends recently sent a gaggle of her most treasured women friends the following note:
My fourteen year old is participating in a workshop for young women. On the last day they will be sharing messages from women in their lives speaking about what they wished they were told at that age. I would love it if you would write a short note/email for this occasion?
I did not hesitate because I adore this young woman with all my heart. And I share it here because its message should be felt by all. Mothers, daughters, fathers, sons. You ALL are magnificent beingsā¦
You are a magnificent being. Know that with all your heart and soul. And don’t ever forget it. In fact, make it your life’s mission to remember that you are far more than what the world can see. And do everything you can to share the wholeness of all you are. Give us all you got! Your light is bright and beautiful. Be courageous and let it shine. Take risks and put yourself out there. Trust yourself. You know. You know exactly why you are here and what you need to do to make this journey spectacular. Just listen to your gut and follow your heart. It will always lead you in the right direction.
