Thank You for Loving Me on My Birthday
I frankly had no idea how much people cared about me
I haven’t written very much on Medium lately. Not sure why exactly.
But, I had to share with you what happened this past week.
I am absolutely blown away by the love I have received for my birthday this past Saturday. I had no idea that I was so loved. I mean that.
I just go about my day doing my thing. Teaching, writing, paying my bills, etc., and frankly am not conscious of the love that people have for me.
My birthday reminded me that I have no idea what’s going on. I’m simply not conscious of the amount of beautiful human beings that are in my life who care so deeply about me. I know some are there, but really….. I’m just overwhelmed and humbled.
I frankly don’t know why I’m so loved. I frankly could not give out enough love to all of you to equal the amount of love I receive back.
Maybe I should just start embracing this love I receive. It would probably be very healing for me.
Thank you for proving me wrong, and for humbling me with your unbelievable gifts of love this week. You have no idea how much it means to me. It helps me and sustains me. It helps me take my next steps in life. It helps me to give love back.
Thank you for being the blessing in my life!
