I’m going to take a bath in this thought for a while. I need it to sink in. And sink in. And sink in.

That’s a great thing to bathe in. A cleansing mantra.
Today is another chance…a beautiful chance to be who we want to be…
Now this is a powerful little line. When I was in my early 20’s, it got me through major depression and eating disorders.

:-) I hope it helped!
Amen, sistah!

so true. i need to look at this each morning. ;)
oh yes. heck yes. this seems like i mantra i could benefit from chanting each morning.

I needed to hear that! : )
Thanks for your post Penelope. I really love your image too.
