Day 7 of #strala30--to my younger self:

Dear little B,
I know somewhere way back when you were hurt. You were told your dreams didn't matter. You were told your dreams were stupid. You were told to keep your dreams to yourself. So eventually you just gave up and started to believe those hurtful words. As a consequence of this hurt, you stopped dreaming. You told yourself you weren't worth big dreams anymore. You began to shrink, play small, and just wanted to disappear. Even today, big dreaming in any capacity is so foreign and feels so awkward. I used to get so frustrated with you because you couldn't dream, but now I'm understanding why.

As a person practicing ease, I'm here to tell you you are safe. Little Brooke, it's okay to dream again. To trust in those dreams. To believe in your dreams. To know you're destined for something even better than even you can imagine. It is safe to dream again. I'm sorry I shut your dreaming capacity down so many years ago. So, now I say--with your dreams, throw the practical out of the window. Don't worry about the how's, and the money issues, the travel plans, if it's really possible...all of those thoughts...just begin to dream. Trust in life. You can dream again. It's safe. Trust in your dreams again. You're worth it. You've got all you need inside of you. You are not alone.

I love you little Brooke and I'm here to help you. I used to want to fight you all the time, but now I just want to help you heal. Dreaming is important. Dreaming is creative. Dreaming is an integral part of your soul, of your freedom. Let's start dreaming together beautiful one...💜👭
