Hey Girl!
Don’t freak out, it’s just me, checking in on you. I can’t imagine where you are right now. You’re 29. Whoa! Getting close to 30 dawg…It’s alright, I’m sure you still look good. You spent your entire 27th year traveling from city to city in search of an opportunity to grow. I still haven’t found it. But maybe you have by now.
Are you still in Dallas? How do you feel about that? I know you loved Dallas and wanted to stay but maybe you’ve found a better city and opportunity.
I would hope that by now you have your boys back with you and you’re consistently being recognized and rewarded for the gifts you have. I speak abundance in finances, pleasure and laughter over your life. You sure don’t get much of that now.
What did Tamara decide to do? Did she marry AJ or not? Did Anna ever get over the jitters about her marriage and settle comfortably into the role of a wife? Right now Teenie is praying for her next place to learn and grow in the workplace. Where did she end up?
I hope you didn’t give up. I know you won’t do that. You have to know that at this very moment you are being broken in and prepared for success. It’s not something that you can run from, even though you may feel overwhelmed at times. It’s your destiny to be a leader and to inspire others to achieve. Don’t be afraid of who you are. God has given you everything you need to succeed, all you have to do is show up and be you.
I didn’t want to ask this because it may be a little pressure but…Did you ever get over The Prez? I really hope you did, your friends think you are being really silly about him. If not, then NOW is probably a good time to let go. ~smile~ It’s alright girl. You WILL receive love and give it as much as you want with no inhibitions.
Girl, I am so proud of you for learning so much and growing and not being afraid to be criticized and ridiculed for it. It takes a strong women to bare who she is knowing that every inch of her soul will be scrutinized and judged. But you can’t be any other way can you?
You are beautifully and wonderfully made. No matter where you are right now, Egypt, Africa, New York or Canada, I want you to keep dreaming and improving yourself. Keep loving you and giving love. It’s who you are, Tee.
Don’t give up on us.
Love,
Me
