take what you need
(notes from my journal // 09/15/2024)
the morning is good.
the mourning is good.
i've been thinking of past versions of myself and the things that she tolerated and dealt with and it was not in vain. this version of myself that i am now is so much stronger and aligned — she is in tune.
everything is spiritual.
everything is connected.
everything is a mirror.
i am working towards being less perfect.
i am working towards being ok with not knowing.
i am working towards being present.
i am working towards not having it all figured out.
that's okay — everything is a mirror.
i can use all of my life experiences to show me things about myself.
i can see myself in connections.
i can see myself in the way things make me feel.
those things can be used as a mirror to show me myself.
the mourning is good.
i don't have to be one version of myself.
i don't have to be the version of myself that people like.
i don't have to be the version of myself that people have of me in their minds.
i am me, and i choose to be that person.
i am always protected — even when i let go
of limiting beliefs
of limiting environments
of limiting people
the mourning is good.
it is not in vain.
♡ prayer for the week ♡
God, thank You for another opportunity to experience the life that You created for me — i am so overwhelmed with gratitude.
thank You for privacy.
thank You for grace.
thank You for peace.
thank You for making me this person.
thank You for provision and guidance.
i ask You to continue to provide these things on my path.
i ask that You keep me connected to You.
i thank my benevolent ancestors for their guidance.
i thank them for their prayers.
i am blessed to belong to them.
i am blessed to belong to You.
this week, keep me grounded.
this path is sacred.
this journey is sacred.
remind me of that when things do not go my way.
remind me that my life and soul's purpose is sacred.
remind me that only things that are aligned can come with me.
keep me encouraged through mourning perceived losses, and keep my vision on what it's meant to be on -- the bigger picture.
thank You for loving me.
amen.
take what you need.
be well,
xo
