I’m Sorry

For belittling you.

For not giving you the credit you deserve.

For minimizing you,

and what you have accomplished.

For being ashamed of your (lack of) success.

And for judging your success against others.

For not acknowledging how far you have come.

For not praising you for what you have done.

For not loving you for who you are.

Please forgive me (Tricia).

I now see that I have been hard on you.

How critical I have been.

An unfair standard.

With an expired deadline.

How could you possibly win.

The bar was set immeasurably too high.

A standard that you weren’t going to achieve.

Because if you had…

You wouldn’t be where you truly needed to be.

Success in your case is not yet for you to achieve.

Because if you had…

You wouldn’t be here.

  • Patience

    Patience doesn’t come easily to me, it’s also something I have to work on every day. I practice patience by trying to loosen my grip on the notion that I need to control everything, surrendering to the journey and remembering that the rules and timing of the universe are not mine to define. I have learned…

  • Body-telling

    Trusting my body. It was telling my story. Where to go, what was wrong, how to heal. My ailments, issues and insecurities were all telling the story. Silently screaming: where there were blocks, unresolved issues, emotional hurdles. What I felt was my guide. I chose not to hear, all the silent signs across my body…

  • Strength

    You are such a strong woman. You have done so much. And done it all by yourself. You have done what few have done. Taken on what most wouldn’t have. For all the good and the bad. More of the good, because you were brave. You followed you heart. You didn’t give up. You knew…
