Before you jump straight in to telling yourself how to be better this year…

Before you look in the mirror and tell yourself how to look better this year…

Before you write down all the things you plan to do better this year…

Maybe take a moment to sit with the person you are right now. The one who has gotten you this far.
The one who has helped you over however many hurdles and shared with you so many successes.

Maybe take a minute to recognise all of the ways you are already so much better than you realised.

Recognise your strength,
your courage,
your kindness,
your resolve.

And hold on to that.
Don’t discard the you that got you here.
Don’t shame her,
guilt her,
doubt her.

But love her instead.

And maybe you’ll realise
that - despite what you first thought -
there isn’t quite as much ‘bettering’ to be done
after all.

-earth angel-

There’s stars in her eyes,
And moonbeams in her hair;
She speaks in a whisper,
She jumps at a dare.

She has fire in her heart,
And a song on her lips;
She loves to dance,
She has wisdom and wit.

She’s taking a chance,
And making the leap;
She’ll be the first one to tell you,
Talk is real cheap.

She’s a lone wolf,
Never a sheep;
She’s a pool of water,
Whose thoughts are deep.

She’s a poet and a mystic,
A healer and a friend;
She’s an earth bound angel,
Upon whom you can depend.

What is her name,
Oh, you never will know;
For all you can catch,
Is her radiant glow.

Fun fact. Wolf spiders will hunt and eat brown recluse spiders (also known as fiddlebacks), in addition to venomous black widow spiders, cockroaches, crickets, beetles and silverfish.

Please don't squish them.
