a few weeks back i read a beautiful post on the
jen gray's blog.
i emailed jen and asked if it would be alright to post her words here, that perhaps someone would love them or need them as much as i. she generously said yes, please do, share on. so here they are; from jen, to me, to you.
"in case you forgot.
you deserve to be happy.
you deserve to be safe.
you deserve to be cherished.
you deserve to be heard.
you deserve help.
you deserve rest.
you deserve kindness.
you deserve freedom.
you deserve support.
you deserve peace.
you deserve goodness.
you deserve wellness.
you deserve forgiveness.
you deserve compassion.
you deserve joy.
you deserve healing.
you deserve love.
yes you.
you really do."
-jen gray
we all know these things, but i do think we forget at times. somehow seeing them in print, reading them, touched me. thank you jen.
i also heard this beautiful song last night in the car.
i had forgotten how much i loved this song warren wrote and recorded shortly before his death.
the lyrics of this song are so tender.
no better way to start off the week,
happy monday everyone. xo
