   I needed that! My husband and I are going through a very rough time and I am feeling very unloved and inadequate. I need reminders that I am enough. No matter what. Thank you!

   it was good to read this on a day when the mourning of a passing of a friend’s child has made loving seem all that much more needed. as i was reading this a song was playing on my laptop entitled ‘held’. it is how the universe seems to work, when we need it, we find it. or it finds us.

    “Something happened, something broke, when I was in Grandma’s tummy,” I tried to explain to my nine-year-old son. “So now I’m just trying to fix it.”
    “There’s nothing wrong with you, you’re not broke,” he said as he compassionately stepped up to gently stroke my cheek. “And you don’t need fixing. You’re fine…just the way you are.”
    Your beautiful poem reminded me of just that day!

    this is lovely. once, a few years ago, i went to limantour very early in the morning for a run through the fog with my friend and there were so many sand dollars scattered on the sand it was like a small miracle; i have never seen so many — and so many that were still completely whole — before or since. but i took it as a very good omen 🙂

    The reason I am up so late is that I just finished making Valentine cards for the kids in my class – 31 of them. I wrote in them “You are loved.” I almost added “just the way you are.” Really! Now I can pretend I was quoting you.

    I absolutely loved this – how beautifully put. I think we all feel broken at times but need to remember how loved we all truly are. Thank you!

    I just read this today, and happened to notice the date it was posted. My world crashed down around me on Feb 1st for reasons of my own doing that stem from the problem I have accepting this idea. Thank you for the reminder. I am working on it.
