Some days I still really struggle with the scars of 14 years of bullying in school, and I really have to work hard to

rewrite the hideous messages that left me with. This week, I focused on telling myself a new story, one of worthiness and acceptance. If it speaks to you or sounds helpful for someone you know, please share it. ❤️ (I read it over and over while listening to this beautiful, peaceful music:

I am forgiving. I am letting go. I am safe, inside and out. I vanquish the lies that make me fearful, doubtful, and ashamed. I banish negativity. I am safe. All is well.

All of me -- all parts-- all cells and layers are worthy of my love and readily accept it as their birthright.

I radiate gratitude, satisfaction, contentment, and peace. I have hope. I am hopeful.
