The Awesome....

There was a time when you were a little girl, 
and you woke up full of awesomeness..... 
You were ready to take on your day full throttle....
 You knew you were amazing....
You were Wonder Woman in your UnderRoos...
 You loved yourself and didn't know any other way to be than just YOU...
You thought you were the most beautiful girl in the world....
 even when you had missing teeth, dirt on your clothes, messy hair and mismatched socks . 
You were the Queen of your backyard fortress made of blankets...
You were a treasure hunter with fierce skills...
You loved your body, and the things it could do. 
You knew you were smart and you were kind....
You were a dreamer...
and you knew you would grow up
to be the worlds most amazing artist
and you were going to swim with
the dolphins....

30 some years later...
YOU are realizing you should keep waking up this way
and 
that you ARE
the
Queen of your own Castle...
You are thankful for the talent you were given...
You are Wonder Woman to someone special...
You are learning to take care of your body and treat it right...
You are smarter than ever...
and you are taking back kindness....
You have your own kind of beautiful and you still like to get messy...
You  swam with those dolphins
and you are making your OWN dreams come true...

The Awesome is still there
sometimes we just need a little reminder...

I originally wrote this after reading something a bit
like it but it was only a few lines.
I customized it to try and let more women relate...
especially us artsy types...

Every now and then we need to remember
that we ARE Awesome
no matter what the world has thrown at us...

Celebrating my Birthday today with a little self kindness....
Thanks Everyone!

    1. Thank you Danielle...I have been scanning all these vintage family photos and it has been so fun! Kind of Elton John meets Gilligan?

  4. Happy Birthday to You! The poem is such a creative and clever rhyme! I laughed aloud! Great analogy; when we grow up we grow insecure!

    1. Thank You Tammy! Isn't it the truth? Then you have to re-learn everything all over again ;) Kids are smarter in some ways than we are?!
