Loving the person you've become
Hi! Thank you for stopping by.
For today's poem I was inspired by a quote. I love a good quote. One that inspires you and makes you smile or sigh in agreement. One that reverberates within your heart long after you have read it.
The quote I found for this week caught my attention because it speaks of inner awareness, self-respect, self-love, appreciation for just being. It is simple yet and profound in it's wisdom. See if it strikes something within you:
"I love the person I've become, because I fought to become her."

Wow. Can't you just feel the pride and understanding, the awareness, just oozing off the page?
Words like that take my breath away. Do you have a favorite quote, book or song that speaks to you like that? Simply amazing.
In thinking about this, I was led to reflect upon my own journey. The journey we all take. How I am not the same person who used to be afraid of so many things. Who sees things so differently now.
Taking up writing has been part of my journey and I am so glad I listened to the urging of my spirit and started to express myself through poetry. It has been life changing in many ways!
I'll end today's reflection with a poem about this very topic. I hope you enjoy!
Unencumbered
I am unencumbered
released and free
of my past at last;
standing upon the solid truth
of love.
My eyes are opened to truth-
I see the path I took
choices all my own
led me to where I am;
my openness to my inner light
births a new self-designation-
She who embraces possibilities.
I feel the pull of yesterday
seductive and comfortable
yet my passion for this new Self
gives me strength to persevere.
I am new and strong
giving myself all that I
feel and know
is my birthright.
I shine
unencumbered.
