A Thank You to my Sisters

This journey into self, into allowing ourselves to be who we are, with unconditional love, acceptance and encouragement is one that brings many challenges, constantly pushing us to stretch beyond what we know to be true. This stretching first requires Love, and then Courage. Love opens the door and Courage assists us to walk through.

Thank you my Sisters for being examples of Love that I sometimes cannot allow within myself. Thank you for the reminders, the time spent, the conversations, the messages, the blog posts, the videos, the sharing in forums and emails, text messages, phone calls and walks in the woods.

Thank you for the reminders that Love blooms everywhere, we are simply required to allow it space to grow.

Thank you my Sisters, for being shining examples of Courage that I sometimes cannot allow within myself. Thank you for the examples of overcoming the ‘impossibility of dreams’, with Love and inspired action, of feeling the fear and doing it anyway, of dedication to being in service, in sisterhood.

Thank you for examples of living in purpose with passion, reminders that although individual journeys may be quite different there is a common driving force, an undercurrent that carries many things, among them, the essence of Courage. Each separate and individual action is connected through this undercurrent into something much greater than the sum of the individual parts. Each action is a petal on the flower, a portion of the definition of sisterhood which when unwrapped and allowed as a gift is revealed to me today as Courage.

Thank you for having the Courage to listen to your own personal callings, to honor them, nurture them, for allowing them to be in service as true examples of the freedom in following your hearts voice. I aspire to follow your examples and live in the freedom of my hearts true voice.

Thank you, my sisters. No matter what our relationship; past, present or future, there is one thing that remains true.

You are all my sisters.

I love you.
