Whether someone you even don&#8217;t even care about their opinion says you are not good enough or they don&#8217;t believe in your dreams-skills-talents-magic-madness, that tiny speck of attention grows in value as its flashlight shines in that little crack in your facade, which feels like a spotlight the size of the sun. The beauty is, and really take this in, this heals you. You want this. Without the stretch, the grasp, the reach past that discomfort that makes you want to run and hide, you would never grow out of it to let your starlight shine. You have a choice.<\/p>\n<p>Always, your soul is ready to hold your hand as you cry and wonder why, accusing the heavens of cursing you when God is just smiling away saying&#8230;<em>&#8220;Honey pie, hold on, you got this, your training wheels are off now. The winds have picked up and that breeze is going to help you coast. Just peddle up that hill. Take in the view and trust yourself. I love you. You are amazing. You are just about to see it. Your fire is rising. That anger in your belly towards those haters in life and to yourself for not being enough in your own eyes, is burning your blocks, karma, and whatever you think holds you back. No one is holding you back. The brake is not on. Just trust you won&#8217;t fall. Deep breaths and feel your center. I&#8217;m always here, right there where you lay your hand on your chest. Behind your heart, I dwell. Well, really, I&#8217;m everywhere, that cosmic spark of Divine is who you are and you just forgot. Place your hand there and you will remember. You are greatness. You are holy. You are special. You are sacred. You will never not have my love and support. You&#8217;re safe. Embody that glory, grace, the epic awesome that I am, that you are. Don&#8217;t worry how anything looks, you can never be diminished. You are never broken, you are always whole. You need not earn me. I am always proud. Fill up on this and carry on, sweet child.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy All Saints Day, folks!\u00a0 I had to share something I wrote on Facebook the other day.\u00a0 When I write in the flow like this, it&#8217;s is the best feeling in the world.\u00a0 Sometimes I write my fierce truth.\u00a0 Sometimes I let the Divine flow though me.\u00a0 This was a combo deal.\u00a0 I can feel&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":568,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Felt like a hug in the form of words - Sassy Spirit<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/2014\/11\/felt-like-a-hug-in-the-form-of-words.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Felt like a hug in the form of words - Sassy Spirit\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Happy All Saints Day, folks!\u00a0 I had to share something I wrote on Facebook the other day.\u00a0 When I write in the flow like this, it&#8217;s is the best feeling in the world.\u00a0 Sometimes I write my fierce truth.\u00a0 Sometimes I let the Divine flow though me.\u00a0 This was a combo deal.\u00a0 I can feel&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/2014\/11\/felt-like-a-hug-in-the-form-of-words.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sassy Spirit\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-11-01T15:20:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"jperry\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Felt like a hug in the form of words - Sassy Spirit","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/2014\/11\/felt-like-a-hug-in-the-form-of-words.html","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Felt like a hug in the form of words - Sassy Spirit","og_description":"Happy All Saints Day, folks!\u00a0 I had to share something I wrote on Facebook the other day.\u00a0 When I write in the flow like this, it&#8217;s is the best feeling in the world.\u00a0 Sometimes I write my fierce truth.\u00a0 Sometimes I let the Divine flow though me.\u00a0 This was a combo deal.\u00a0 I can feel&hellip;","og_url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/2014\/11\/felt-like-a-hug-in-the-form-of-words.html","og_site_name":"Sassy Spirit","article_published_time":"2014-11-01T15:20:23+00:00","author":"jperry","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/2014\/11\/felt-like-a-hug-in-the-form-of-words.html","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/2014\/11\/felt-like-a-hug-in-the-form-of-words.html","name":"Felt like a hug in the form of words - Sassy Spirit","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/#website"},"datePublished":"2014-11-01T15:20:23+00:00","dateModified":"2014-11-01T15:20:23+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/#\/schema\/person\/25e500bdf4d2fa825084977d8be536b2"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/2014\/11\/felt-like-a-hug-in-the-form-of-words.html#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/2014\/11\/felt-like-a-hug-in-the-form-of-words.html"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/2014\/11\/felt-like-a-hug-in-the-form-of-words.html#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Felt like a hug in the form of words"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/sassyspirit\/","name":"Sassy Spirit","description":"Beliefnet Voices - Jenny G.
