So, here we are at Day 30 of Troofs. This one is hard and I’m not gonna pretend mine will even be half as awesome as The Gal’s entry but it will be from the my heart, so there’s that.
Here we go: Day 30 :: A letter to yourself. Tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself.
Dear Lisa,
Know what? The very best thing about you is your tender heart. Remember Care Bears? How could you have been anything *but* TenderHeart Bear? You don’t hold grudges, want love and light and happiness for just about everyone and know how to let your heartlight shine. When you love someone, you love them with all your heart. (Um, and when you don’t? You don’t with all your heart!) Those whom you love know it without question. Just like there was nothing left unsaid between you and Lauren – she knew, unequivocally, how you felt about her.
The second best thing about you is your willingness to be a dorky 12 year old and show that to the world. Most people have an inner dork and when one finds the other, it’s like a secret hand signal or something is exchanged. If truth be known, that’s really the best side of you. Your inner dork = love.
Growing and changing and being the best Lisa you can be while on this earth is your fondest wish. (That and those damn shoes!) You will never be complacent about that.
One day you will come to realize what a gift you have in writing and doing the woo-work. You sort of know it now but don’t fully get it. You will. It’s the work of your soul and you know that fully. The more you bring it out, the stronger it gets.
To sum up, you’re a sweetie. Sometimes a moody sweetie. But always a sweetie.
Love,
Me
