I Am Worthy

Let’s take a walk down Worthy Lane…

The New Year is upon us. Will 2024 be the year we own our worthiness? And more so, how do we define what it means to truly feel worthy?

As I took a stroll, something deep inside urged me to take my headphones off and reside in the silence. What happened after that was unpredictable.  I walked 3 miles down a lane of worthiness. I talked to myself out loud despite the glares. Little did onlookers know I was basking in my own worthiness. My mind, my heart and my soul began chattering with each other like three old friends. I felt like I was at the movies, witnessing a third-party dialogue … except it was happening on my mind’s stage.  

The result of my inner chatter is a whole lot of worthy! …  

• I am worthy of going on a date with myself.

• I am worthy of laying under the stars with a bottle of champagne.

• I am worthy of saying no without explanation.

• I am worthy of signing up for retreats.

I am worthy. I am worthy. I am worthy.
