strength for a new beginning

Today, I am grateful for the supportive relationship I have with my mentor, for his wise and calming words, and for hearing him say "I am always here for you." 

I am learning how to breathe deeply and courageously into each step forward. 

I accomplished having a productive day even though I felt energetically depleted. 

I delighted in receiving compliments from three strangers on my style, in finding a fun new sweatshirt on sale, in making a delicious and nutritious dinner, and in starting a three-day movie binge with my soul sister.
