Because I Am

Fill in the blank: Kind. Funny. Smart. Determined. Worthy. This coming Monday March 8^th will mark International Women’s Day. How will you celebrate? I’ll be giving thanks to the amazing women in my life but I will also be celebrating me. In 2015, I wrote a short post dedicated to this day. I answered the age-old question, if you could tell your younger self anything, what would you say? Reflecting back on that post made me realize my ‘younger self’

#DearMe

Today is International Women’s Day and in honour of this, women were called upon to reflect on their younger selves. ‎If you could tell your younger self anything, what would you tell her?

#DearMe

-Be more kind to others.

-It is okay to be single and happy; no one can ever love you or complete you more than you can.

-It is okay to love your job but it doesn’t and will never define you.

-Good health is everything; if you don’t have it, you don’t have anything.

-Seek help when you need it; talk about that which pains you and release it.

-It is okay to be scared but don’t let fear drive you; let it inspire you.

-Change is okay.

-Be proud of who you are and what you’ve accomplished.

-Follow your passion everyday.

-Take time off for yourself frequently.

-Forgive as often as you can, when you’re ready.

-Read as much as you can.

-Enjoy every age because it is fleeting.

-If you ever have a choice to say I love you to the one you love or to say nothing at all, always choose I love you.
