keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

LOVE LETTERS TO YOURSELF
This is taken from a love letter (a gentle reminder)
I wrote to myself recently.
Live in your joy today.
Be authentic. Love yourself. First.

Embrace transformation as an opportunity.
And keep on writing love letters to yourself.
