"Thank you for seeing you are worthy of so much more."

“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” — Brené Brown
Thank you for finally standing in your truth...
For being brave enough to say the words that had been left unspoken...
For no longer hiding in shame and regrets...
For digging deep and being willing to let go of the things and people you thought you could not live without...
For breathing through the pain...
For never giving up...
For living another day...
For choosing yourself...
Thank you for doing the work and opening yourself up to the universe and God’s unchanging hand.
Thank you for reaching a level of awareness that prepared you to receive these universal messages.
This did not just happen... This was divine and intentional.
You were on a mission for answers this year and were finally brave and open enough to receive them. For your entire life, you questioned why your father abandoned you and whether you were worthy of love.
“Thank you for no longer being satisfied by the temporary relief of inadequate relationships. Thank you for seeing you are worthy of so much more.”
Over the last three years, you accepted the love you thought you deserved — You fought to keep a broken and unhealthy relationship together and fought to convince him of your worth. You left the relationship but couldn’t let go and constantly questioned whether you made the right decision... In those questions, you were questioning whether you deserved healthy love, unconditional support, and a safe space.
It took time and hard work but you now know your father’s inadequacies were not about you. Through this work, you’ve built a stronger relationship with your uncle and finally have an example of a strong and loving male role model. And you finally let go of a relationship that drained you.
Thank you for no longer being controlled by your circumstances and for releasing yourself from the shackles of deficits and emptiness.
Thank you for no longer being satisfied by the temporary relief of inadequate relationships.
Thank you for seeing you are worthy of so much more.
Stand confidently in your beauty, strength, and worth.
Remember your recipe for self-care.
Your excellence is necessary.
You are creation,
Born whole so you cannot be broken.
You are abundant.
You are acceptance.
You are resistance.
You are free.
Love forward — Trust the process — Keep shining Queen
