Every year I have lived has given me something I could not have learned any other way. I am not behind; I am exactly where my journey has brought me and I am ready. I forgive myself for the things that I did not know that I understand now. I carry my history with me, not as a weight, but as a wisdom. The 3 Daily Caring Tips The Small Ceremony: Write down one thing you are choosing to release today. Draw a line through it to stop it from running in the background of your mind. Gift of Knowledge: Spend five minutes reflecting on yourself from ten years ago. What would you tell them? That wisdom is a hard-won gift. Active Becoming: Remember that at any age, you are still becoming. One small act of courage is all it takes to keep moving with the river.
