Dear Anita

Sometimes when you are sad, I want to give you the biggest hug because I want you to know how special you are to me and how much I would love for you to be happy. If my hugs could mend some broken pieces in you and help you see how special you are in my eyes, then I would feel like I’m a good friend. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving. I am grateful to have you in my life, you always inspire me to be a better person. Sometimes my inner critic tries to dim my candle, but I am glad to have friends who help provide me strength to fuel my inner light when I feel shaky. I am working on being the candle for myself as well as being the mirror that reflects light for others. I realize that I need to have a candle within before I can be the light for others, so I’m working on cultivating my inner light. I wish you all the best in your life. Thank you for being here for me and for helping me understand more of myself when I’m not sure who I am. I am grateful to know a person like you. You are a blessing to me and the world needs more people who are creative, compassionate, insightful and understanding like you.
