Treasure Your Time
Thank You Notes #32
“Time is the only treasure I have on earth.” ― Mitta Xinindlu
Dear Lovely Readers and Writers,
This week I learned a powerful life lesson. After I lost the writing contract I had for three short weeks, I felt defeated.
Yet, at the same time, I gained back a treasure, my time.
Never before have I valued each moment more.
I discovered three paramount things about each second on the clock.
- We are capable of achieving our dreams in the time we are given.
- We can organize our days to be balanced.
- My time is my own and I choose my own creativity.
In some strange ways, I am grateful for this short experience in creating something for others. It made me realize I can choose myself.
The time I have each day is precious, and I can use it to write something to help my only client: You. You, dear reader, are the one I want to reach out to, to let you know you are valuable.
Instead of giving away hours of my time to create one article for another, I can create something from my heart for you.
It is my wish today for all of you, treasure yourself, your time, and your talents. Nobody can judge or take that away from you. Know that you have everything within you to create the world you seek.
The theme this week is:
Treasured Time
How do you value time in your life? Share a poem, article, or story about what time means in your life and how you learned to value it more.

A Note From Your Loving Editor:
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the loving community of Thank You Notes for helping me through a tough situation.
It was painful to lose my writing contract, but I know I gave it my all.
Now I know the universe has so much in store for me. I choose myself, my talents, and my community here.
I am grateful at this moment, for my time is my own. You will see me here more often on Medium, sharing and supporting you more.
It is a joy to announce three wonderful pieces of news:
- I will continue to write and finish my book: Letters From Your Inner Being.
- I will have more time to dedicate to my newsletter.
- My husband is giving me his manuscript for a technical book to edit.
