Don’t Go Big!
Don’t Be Bold!
Don’t Dream!
Instead, this year, try this:
Love yourself more than
you ever knew possible.
Love yourself daily,
fiercely, as if you’re
the best damn thing
that ever showed up
in your life.
Let this love glow and grow
from the inside out
until you almost can’t stand the joy
then love yourself up
some more.
Let this love infuse everything you make
with the unmistakable pulse
of your singular Soul.
Let your brilliance emerge fully
from this love of your life,
of your talents,
of your self.
Watch with giddy joy
as this love-doused work
meets the needs and desires
of those who have been waiting
to know it’s safe
to love this much.
Greet them as they gather close
to say YES! to your gifts
YES! to your loving self
YES! to the unmistakable joy of
you being you
you being brilliant
you being love.
