You are beautiful
Someone said this to me today. It came at me during a moment when I least expected it, but when I clearly must have needed this karma, this love, from the universe.
I cried. Not a lot, because I am the razor-sharp person who keeps tears bottled up inside. But, a few spontaneous tears that seemed to take the weight of the world right off my shoulders.
You are beautiful
How could another person, several time zones away, with her own life and needs, make me feel like the most loved person with just three words? I have no explanation. But I do know that by sending me that message, she opened up my eyes and reminded me that our words matter.
ALL of our words matter. When we compliment someone, we lift their spirit. When we coach them, we prepare them for challenges and successes to come. When we discourage them, we hurt them for a thousand future moments, not just that moment in time. It’s simple really.
You are beautiful
It means something. It feels like something. It means that I’m valued, needed, wanted. Reading those words, caused me to take a deep breath. Breath to give me courage for things to come. And it’s those breaths that we all need to get through the good times, the bad times. The times.
You are beautiful
So, thank you Rachelle Roberts. Your words made a difference today, and I’m grateful.
