Dear World,

Since I was a little girl, I’ve been trying
to get somewhere. Nowhere specific,
just anywhere but here. and I’m writing you
this love note today to let you know this thing
that’s suddenly gotten so clear:
I’ve arrived.

You see, I’ve finally been listening to this voice
at my core, nudging me, trying to tell me
what I’m here for, and instead of looking out there
and comparing myself to all that’s come before,
I’m aligning with the heart and soul of me
and breathing the only way that I can truly breathe.

And I’m laughing at all of the striving and struggling
in the midst of being free. I simply now can see
that I’ve always been in the right place,
at the right time, with the right gifts to offer up
my light with ease.

So world–I wanted you to know
that while my journey has only just begun,
I no longer feel the need to run–to be anyone
else but me. I’m simply going to let my
petals come undone as I stand in the sun
and allow myself to receive.

Much Love,

:)Melissa
