I stride down the hallway, looking at the image in the mirror. Today I see a person who feels, acts, and is there.

I used to shuffle down the hallway, enmeshed with the image I saw. You’re to fat, to old, to skinny, to imperfect, to different.

I travelled into the mirror, it took me back over all those years, my mistakes, failure’s, shame and fears. It magnified who I had convinced myself that I was.

I wasn’t good enough for you, or good enough for me. Today the mirror shows a beautiful person,  me ! I used to see a mistake in the mirror, now I see me, a person who feels, cares, loves, engages with other beautiful people.

It is amazing to me how I can be the same image in the mirror, and yet be totally different then I was a year ago. The mirror not only reflects the image back at me, it also reflects thoughts back.

I care, therefore I am worthy of being cared for. I am responsible for me, not you. I offer me, I don’t tell you. I reach out in love, and I no longer feel so alone.

I look in the mirror, and today I see your Light, shining through my eyes.
