11 Reminders for All My Sisters


1.      
I want you to know that I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU.
2.     
In being yourself, YOU INSPIRE ME, DAILY.
3.     
It may not seem like it sometimes, but YOU MATTER TO ME AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. PLEASE DON’T YOU EVER FORGET THIS.
4.     
As sure as the sun baby girl; YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, ON THE OUTSIDE!
5.     
I know you have days of exhaustion. On those days and WHENEVER YOU NEED TO, REST. 
6.     
I believe in you, KEEP PUSHING.
7.     
Remember to KEEP DREAMING. When you have done so, DREAM SOME MORE, WRITE IT DOWN AND READ IT AGAIN LATER. 
8.     
You are following your own path, DON’T MIND THEM.
9.     
It may not seem like it today but EVEN THE TINY STEPS ARE PROGRESS, CELEBRATE. 
10.   
When it creeps up on you; ALLOW HAPPINESS TO FILL YOU UP.
11.   
I am glad you are a part of my life and I hope you know that I LOVE YOU now and always.

In my adult and semi adult life I have met so many AMAZING women. These women are powerful and strong. They have inspired me in more ways than I could ever list on a blog post. They have defied odds in their lives and many of them are pushing bounds and have already scaled mountains. They are giants and within all of this most, if not all, of them are very delicate and fragile. It is not a bad thing but so many times in conversation with these phenomenal women the discussion has been about pulling each other up and reminding each other that we are enough, that we are worthy and that we are capable. For me, these reminders are important, and they have helped me walk through difficult days and seasons. 

I hope reading these reminders has picked you up a little bit.

Keep Shining!
