Dear Katerina

Katerina,

That was then, this is now. That was lost, this Is found. You used to hide from the light. You made friends with the night. You were headed the wrong way on a one way track. You felt that you were Going nowhere fast. You got used to the dark. You thought this is who you are. You figured that you were just too far gone. But Kat you were wrong; and it’s time to say goodbye to the old you now. Put the past in the past; Box it up like an old photograph. You don’t have to go back. Kat, that was then, and this is now.

Kat, you're meant to be incomplete and meant to be broken because you are limitless. Believe in yourself, believe and have faith in yourself. You rise from the ashes, and when the sky seems to be falling around you, your dreams move mountains. Have faith in yourself.  In your weakness and temptation just believe in the wonderful and empowered woman you have become. If you must look back through the past, use it to see how far you have come and where you are at today; because you weren't there a week ago, a month ago, a year ago, 6 years ago, or anytime in the last 33 years. It's not over yet, and keep fighting, this is a brand new start in your life, when you think you're finished, just know it's not over yet; embrace the hope that brings you out of the darkness and into the light and never give up.

Embrace the Sacred Intimate. You are both Beautiful inside and out, you are worth it, you deserve it, and you own it. Forget what you think, forget what you know, llallow yourself to be reeducated and learn and discover who you are as a beautiful, intelligent, and empowered woman. You are more than you dream, more than you understand, and more than you think you are. Katerina I am proud of you. I love you so much, you are amazing. This is your time to give yourself the permission, permission that you are holding back, to shine and be successful.  I dare you to be tenacious in your journey and prove it can be done. I dare you to do the impossible. I dare you to work hard, I dare you to be successful, I dare you to embrace this journey and give it your 110%. Did I tell you how much I am so proud of you? Again I love you so much. Happy Valentine's Day to my special woman.

With Sacred Light and Love,.

Your reflection in the mirror
