The newest me

Scrolling through my feed I found a tidbit of info saying that our bodies are approximately 10 years younger than we are! The argument was that because our cells are reproducing about every 7 years we are technically and quite literally brand new. If we were to borrow this idea for a moment I might say…The things that keep us old are thoughts…memories…loyalty to old and sabotaging ways of being. Welcome to #firstfridays and the year the blog is dedicated to love letters to self. Happy 2023. Happy Full Moon. Get ready.

Sweet One,

This isn’t even it yet. You aren’t even you yet.

The new year is in the spring, the most honest and natural time for rebirth and renewal. You are still experiencing waves of emotion that can only be karma for allowing yourself to be misunderstood. The time from here to there is sacred.

You’ve done well. During that gap, the one from here to there, the one that led to this winter, old me to new me, understanding to forgiveness, you did some things that are commendable. For sure some boxes got checked. Lessons learned, kindness and love shared. You stood one more day and one more time as honest as you could. That’s good stuff. If you don’t celebrate that achievement now the moment passes. Just like that, gone.

You really have landed in the place you promised your demise to. Your willingness to sink helped you swim. Everything you sacrificed was not in vain and all that once was good and right for you is being upgraded. You’ve braced yourself for the sacred and lonely time growing up is. You saw who held you at your worst and who holds you still. It’s a good start.

When springtime come there will be a whole new set of decisions to be made about a whole new set of things. There always are. Prepare now. You know what to do. Trust yourself.

You may be new. You may be you by then.

It may come to be that your feelings stop getting hurt, your work gets exciting and good, love feels eternal and real. The visions of your mind may actually materialize and you will behold what you thought were silly ideas with your own two eyeballs. The windfall you were teased about may actually land at your feet. Stay truthful to your own heart and don’t suffer. Do what you can while you can with what you have and remember that a little goes a long way over time. You know that now, like you know the pain of standing still.

I hold you in my prayers, the ones for protection so that as you grow you stay in love and support, the ones for abundance so you may never feel poor or unresourced ever again and the ones for gratitude because already this life is meaningful and special. Sometimes it really is so good… and

there’s more where that came from….there is always more. Also, Happy 3 kings day. Stay ready for the gifts .

Nothing but Love,

Adri
