YOU.

“And maybe Time didn’t heal your wounds. You got up out of bed without a reason, You ate when you weren’t hungry. You stretched though your body ached, and forgave before bitterness choked you. Perhaps Time gives us space. But she often gets too much credit. Because the one who showed up every time without fail was YOU.” -Emily M.

I have been blessed in life to come across a beautiful soul, Emily. This week, we’ve been voice texting back and forth, and she sent me this beautiful video from her YouTube series. I needed this reminder, and thought it would be perfect to share with you all this week for Mindful Monday.

You could have chosen to do anything else with this moment, but you chose to show up for yourself and tap into today’s message. Whatever we are going through, we are growing through, and this wouldn’t be possible without YOU making the active choice to show up for yourself.

This week, give yourself the opportunity to acknowledge how far you’ve come. Even if all you did today was open your eyes, you’ve been blessed. Let’s be mindful that no matter how our situation looks, there is someone WISHING they had what you have. Continue to root for YOU. Continue to encourage YOU. Continue to choose YOU, without fail, every time. You are worth it.

With Love,

Mama Shye
