For Poppy

“What’s difficult in life is to stay centered when somebody does or says something that tempts us to close our hearts because their heart was closed. That is hard. But that is also how we grow. We go through those circumstances in order to evolve into people who can hold to our loving center no matter what the world throws us.”

 

- Marianne Williamson

 

Dear Poppy,

It’s important to be nice to others, to offer a helping hand, to show compassion and love freely.

But if someone doesn’t accept the gift we have to offer, it really isn’t about us.

I know it hurts your feelings and makes you feel like there’s something wrong with YOU.

But sweet girl, that is not the truth.

You are awesome and the compassion you show the world is incredible.

We have so much to give.

But from now on, when we open our hearts to someone and our love is not acknowledged (or even flat out refused),

we’re going to do something different.

We’re going to turn that love around and give it back to ourselves.

We will soak in the goodness they are missing out on.

No more asking (begging) for the love, respect and attention we deserve.

 

Love me,

The Strong One
