Dear Reader,

I love you and I’m with you. I’m in your corner and cheering you on. You have good ideas, you’re smart, you have potential. You’re lovable and have value. You’re not alone. You have a voice worth listening to, but you need to do the work and find it. You are absolutely capable of achieving everything you want to do, but again, you have to do the work. Yes, it will be hard. Yes, it will not be fast. Yes, it may go a different direction. Yes, you may fail. But, in the end, YES it will be worth it. Not everyone will understand or support you, but this is your journey, not theirs. I give you permission to explore, to learn, to discover, to create, even to destroy if necessary. You have permission to let yourself be. I’m proud of you for everything you’ve done, and everything you’ve overcome. Believe in yourself, trust the process, trust your decisions. Be patient, give things time. HAVE FUN! You have permission to have fun. You need to have fun. Life is short.

I believe in you. You can do the things.

In Love and Kindness,

Lauren
