I am a mother.
I am a daughter.
I am a partner.
I am madly in love.
I am imperfect in all of these things.
I am still, and will always be, part of a beautiful family.
I am a friend.
I am here.
I am doing my best.
I believe in love.
I am doing all I can to withstand the judgments.
I am listening to the people that love me.
I am listening to myself.
I am believing those are one and the same.
I am closing out the things that make me feel small.
I am actively honoring the places that are full of love.
I am forgiving myself and others.
I believe in myself.
I believe in the name that was given me,
the family that I came from,
the beauty they have taught me,
The root of it all.
I believe in the name beyond the one that was given me,
The one that I earned and still carry.
I believe in the history of strength that it holds.
I believe in its past and its future.
I believe in its fiction and its fact.
I carry my name proudly.
I especially believe in my daughters.
I am me.
I am worthy.
I am full of love.
I am Heather.
I am happily here.

I am so glad. I wonder if you know how much of you your words reveal. It's all right, it's all good, but that's one of the reasons I like to read what people have written, because you can tell so much about a person that way. Your words and your heart are beautiful, and I'm glad, too, that you're expressing what you feel. It's such a freeing experience. And it just gets better! Enjoy!
Very nice piece of writing. Comes from your heart. Keep writing. Good luck.
Thanks for your encouragement, Mona. It means a lot. My best to you!
