Sarah Smith’s Path to Healing

Hey my sweet,

This isn’t going to be a long letter to you, but I wanted to take a moment to tell you about the last few days and why I’m so proud of you right now.

Your body kind of gave out on Thursday and said, “I need some time,” by getting sick. And instead of fighting yourself, you gave yourself space. You said, “Okay. I hear you. I’ll do some things to take care of myself. If it’s not better after, I’ll call in sick.”

There was no debate about it, no trying to negotiate your way out. You saw that you were unwell, you accepted it, and you took steps to care for yourself, without a second thought.

That’s why I’m proud of you. You didn’t push. You didn’t force yourself to do anything. You actually used the time to do things that make you feel good. That’s a first, and I love seeing how far you’ve come.

I’m not 100% yet, but I wanted you to know this. I wanted you to hear it.

Lots of love,
Me
