I’m Still Here

This year my goals need only be small and achievable.  

If a thing isn’t for me, let it go.

If I have to start over, I start over.  It’s still a step forward.

I will say yes

and show up more than I hide from people who love me.

I will take more pictures of myself doing things…

Especially things featuring My People

I will remember to feed,

hydrate,

and move my body,

because I deserve that.

I’ll set myself free by deciding I’m good enough for myself.
