Get Over Yourself

I had a message in my inbox today from a woman that I barely know. A Facebook friend, but not anyone I have ever had a conversation with. It was a pretty hateful message that ended with the words "Get over yourself!" At first I was angry, hurt and jaded. My shame story starting creeping into my head. Why can't I ever be enough? I took a deep breath and read the message again "Get over yourself!" I started thinking about what those words meant. Get over myself? Get over myself?

I will NEVER get over myself.

I honor myself. I love myself. I speak up when the truth needs to be told. I lead from a place deep in my heart. I own my story and my imperfections. I will never get over myself. If you get over yourself you're giving up on your passion, your fire. You're giving up on your heart. You're giving up on your existence. I will dance in the light. Whether that light is coming from you or from me or from the collective, I will celebrate it forever.

I pray that you will get INTO yourself. I pray that you will honor yourself, love yourself and worship yourself. I pray that you will find a peaceful place in your heart and grow from there. Grow into kindness, lean into sisterhood, and stop comparing and judging yourself to others. This is about speaking truth and fighting for love. This is about standing up for what you believe in your heart. This isn't about you or about me, this is about grace and kindness, owning our stories and standing in the flame.

NEVER get over yourself.
