Each breath is the chance to begin again, to release what’s over and accept what’s next.
To be gentle with your broken places, patient while you heal, and brave enough to try again.
To be firm when your spirit stutters. Strong when the pain threatens to overwhelm you.
You are here for more, but you must show up for that more to manifest. Refuse to give in to the dark and dig for the joy beneath the pain.
Maybe you’re still torn and bleeding from near-fatal wounds.
Groping your way through shattering heartbreak.
Gritting your teeth in the silent struggle to make it through another day without falling to pieces.
Each breath is a reminder that you’re still here and you are not beyond hope or healing.
That even though you’ve known darkness, you haven’t lost yourself in it.
That you’ve survived your past and you’re graced with the present to grow your strong and thrive.
Each moment is a wonderland.
The love buoying you up and knitting together your broken places.
The grit in taking every step forward and dreaming every new dream.
The strength in your grip of what’s possible because you know that this is not how your story ends.
Each moment is a wonderland.
Dare to discover what’s in front of you and let it be enough.
Stand strong.

each breath is the time to begin again. I like that, the concept that you can begin as many times as you want means if you don’t give up you will get to your dreams.
