Some days I really feel like I am dominating in every area of womanhood.

It’s kind of like the feeling that you would get if your hair were done, your outfit was fashion forward and super slimming, your manicure and pedicure were freshly done, and your face was beat, all on the same day! Whew! You would probably feel unstoppable, right? Well, that’s how I feel some days. But then, there are days when I feel like I am failing at everything and nothing is happening the way that I think it should. At one point, it had gotten so bad for me that I started to expect bad things to happen, because it was “just my luck”. It wasn’t until I learned to shake myself, and change my thoughts that things started to shift for me. The mind is so powerful, because thoughts become THINGS! If you think you’re unstoppable then you will be! Just like if you think you’re a hot mess, then girlfriend you will be that too. I have to work on controlling my thoughts everyday, because let’s face it; everybody has a hot mess day every now and then, but the key is to not stay in that place… If you’ve ever felt like what you’re doing wasn’t good enough, or if you’ve felt like you’ve made a mistake so big that you’ll never recover from it then this letter is for you.

Girlfriend,

I know you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel in this very moment, but TRUST ME it is going to be okay. I know that things may not have gone the way that you planned for it to go in your head, but it’s not the end of the world. What you’re going through is normal, and it happens to everyone sometimes. The thing that matters most is that you are working with what you’ve got, and you’re doing an awesome job. Before you ask, no I’m not just saying it because you’re my friend; I’m saying it because it’s the truth. Don’t let this mess with your head, because this is actually one of those blessings in disguise. Now you’ll know how to handle things better next time. You are unstoppable and there is someone out there who really needs you to win! So pick yourself up and let’s get to it! It’s going to be okay, I promise. I’ll check on you a bit later.

Xoxo, Gerri

Read that to yourself in the mirror a few more times until it sticks, because you’re doing a GREAT job and it will get better.
