She sees her in shades of rose gold. He thinks she glows in daffodil. She has always resonated with greens. Bold shades of jade. Whispers of seafoam. The color of her aura Meeting people before she even speaks. A calling card. A feeling. A warmth she leaves behind. An impression left forever. Different to each who meet her. Different because of what they need. Each layer of her rainbow revealing itself. Never being held in one form. Her presence is a mood ring. A light show A mirror to their own souls.

[jeanettewages]

She was always who she needed to be. Even when she felt lost and alone. Even on the days she knew she had not been her best.

Sitting with herself, she was whole. Being with those she loved, she was amplified.

With every day, every lesson and every victory she proudly sauntered down the path of truth, the path to herself, her purpose.

[jeanettewages]

You’ll never own her. You’ll never change her. She is magic. She is madness. She is peace, hope and joy. She is a storm and the sunshine. She is free as the wind. She is the waves of the ocean. She is a wild thing. Do not tame her. Love her as she is. Create a safe space for her to land. A place for her to be as she is. She’ll be drawn to you like the moon Gently calling her to shore.

You never know what you can do until you try. Never know who you can be until you focus on your inner truth.

No one is born being able to do anything but breathe and the rest we have to learn. The fastest runner in the world once only knew how to crawl and stumbled on their first steps.

We all get lost in the outside voices of what we should want and who we should be. Reset to that moment when all you knew was how to breathe. Focus on that breath and clear out every voice that isn’t you. Go be the you that lives in your own heart and mind.

She was born with a fire inside her A passion A warmth

She had been burned before Her fire grew

They had tried to freeze her out Her fire kept her safe

She was forged of fire She does not fear She has the power to sustain life The power to burn everything to the ground She does not fear the flames She does not fear ice castles

[jeanettewages]

Was it ever about you? Was it ever love? Was it ever real?

It feels like a fantasy A dream A hope A wish

It was never you It was about the dream About the hope About what you could have been What we could have been

[jeanettewages]

Why don’t you love yourself? Why don’t you feel good enough? Is it the ones who didn’t love you back? The things you didn’t excel at? The times you weren’t your best?

Yes, she whispered.

So learn to love without expectation. Love is still love when not returned. Be proud that you tried. Many are stuck in the known. And most of all, sweet girl, Forgive. Forgive them. Forgive the universe. Forgive yourself. Then watch your love shine through.

[jeanettewages]

When everything is said and done. When she lays her head down at night. When she sits to think. She is grateful. Grateful for another day. Grateful for the friendships. The helping hands. The circle of love protecting her. Grateful for the tears. The lessons. The things that had gone away. Grateful for her strength. Her love. Resilience. Grace.
