I am a card carrying and proud member of the Brave Girls Club. I LOVE Brave Girls and everything it stands for. I LOVE Melody Ross – both her writing and her art. I LOVE reading the blog and I subscribe to “A little bird told me – your dose of daily truth.” I’ve done Soul Restoration 1 and 2 (and LOVED them), and one of my goals for next year is to attend the Brave Girls Camp in person.
I wanted to share this piece of love from the Brave Girls blog. (If you think the words are great, you’ve gotta see the pictures that go along with it - click on the link above to see it!)
Once upon a time, you were a little girl…
Life was simple and carefree...
You dreamed big dreams without even knowing they were big...
And you did the things you did because you felt like it…
You weren’t afraid to try new things…
because everything was new…
You didn’t worry about what other people thought…
Or what they said…
You were YOU because you didn’t know how to be anyone else.
Are you starting to remember?
Can you start to feel her again…even just a little?
Cause guess what, sweet girl…
She’s still in there.
Will you remember her?
Please find her again…then listen to her.
She is so wise….
When you find her remember:
She has a tender heart.
Speak kindly to her.
Make sure she knows that mistakes are okay.
Be patient with her as she learns and grows.
Love her.
Run through the flowers with her, play make-believe, dream big dreams, believe in goodness, find joy in everything around you, make life simple the way she liked it.
It might take time…but find her….she is you…
…the real you.

So profound and moving.
Her blog is great, Queen.
Have you ever read the Operation Beautiful.com blog?
It's got that same sort of soul-enhancing feel.
Would I sound like a parrot if I said "ditto" to everything you said? I want to feel comfortable in my skin to wear a cowgirl hat in the grocery store!
