{i see me} the beautiful flower

This quote spoke to me when i came across it the other day - years of putting up walls to protect myself from hurt & disappointment then realizing these walls built for protection also kept me from living fully.  These walls were built from fear...not love.  Without these walls I am able to embrace the breadth of my essence...my true self - to experience unconditional love of myself & others. 

i know...there is more growth ahead

~ always more growth ~

but now...

i am...

the beautiful flower

no longer hiding 

but blossoming

exposing my true beauty 

encouraging others

to grow alongside

radiating magnificence

into the world.
