LOVE LETTERS TO YOURSELF
This is taken from a love letter (a gentle reminder)
I wrote to myself recently.
Live in your joy today.
Be authentic. Love yourself. First.

of being into new circumstances
rather than becoming new yourself.
Embrace transformation as an opportunity.
And keep on writing love letters to yourself.

a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and
helps us look above and over

and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.
