THERE’S ROOM FOR THE PERSON YOU’RE BECOMING

Here’s to being thankful for the ways you are changing. Here’s to recognizing in grace, there is room for the person you are becoming. You might be seeing your relationships change and you might even be thinking about the future in a new way. And even though this process is anything but easy, I hope this can be a space where you start to recognize that you are worth it.

So here’s to becoming more aware. Here’s to realizing what works for you and what doesn’t. Here’s to opening your heart to deeper empathy, compassion, and new ways of defining “community.”

There might be times in this space when you feel like you are in the wilderness all alone. And because you are in a new place, it only makes sense to feel that way. And at the very same time, this is true: learning to make your way through the wilderness teaches you to be aware in a new way…and not only of yourself but of the world around you.

While you are experiencing change within you, you’ll start to notice things changing around you, too. And when this happens, I hope you can be thankful for the ways you’re becoming more in-tune.

Here’s what change in the wilderness might look like:
You’re starting to be able to listen to others more closely, without judgment.
You’re figuring out what you actually need and you’re starting to name it.
When something upsets or frustrates you, you’re not just shaking it off. Instead, you’re learning to work through your emotions in a good way.

When something good happens, you’re learning to let it be what it is without questioning it.

There is much to be learned when so much is changing around you and within you, and I hope these few examples can spark your memory so that you can recall all that is changing in your life right now. I hope that through it all, a sense of thankfulness finds you. May you never forget how far you have come and all of the things you’ve been learning along the way.
