The new me

This is so true, I don't even know the new me sometimes.   Sometimes I surprise myself with strength, confidence and empathy.    I'll walk away from a conversation and think "who the hell was she?", not realizing what I have in me to give and to show another.   Other times I think "oh shit, she's back" and I have to check myself and reboot.    I experienced that recently but what is so wonderful is that I also experienced true empathy and love.

I listened with my heart today and was able to feel and understand someone else in a way that I've been longing to do.   I was able to look inside and not be scared, I felt love for someone who wasn't even there, someone I had only met once.   I'm not really sure what happened, but a sense of peace came over me and my love for him grew even more.   When we open ourselves to others, amazing things can happen.

Don't allow your old self to dictate the new you, rebuild your pieces differently and secure them with love, hope, peace and understanding.   Don't fear tomorrow and don't live for yesterday, today, make today the day you live.
