Letter (poem) to past me… From me NOW!
mandygibbons
Beautiful, don’t be afraid to bring your fire. Your heart, your soul… it’s going to split wide open. Vulnerability… is more beautiful than you could ever imagine. Liberation… It’s not what you think when you’re on the other side of it. It’s more. MORE FIRE! MORE FREAKING FIRE! You’ll find the inner warrior. You’ll fight through the hurt and pain. You’ll tell “judgement” to f—k off. You’ll fall in love with yourself so damn hard… Going back to what you were, will be impossible. If you could only feel like I do now. I know what it took for you to get here. I’m so proud of you for where… and who you are. I’m waiting for you to rise with me. I’m here… My hands outstretched… Reach up to me… Let me take you in my arms… You’re safe in love… It’s time. I love you for not giving up on me I love you for reminding me of my purpose, my vision, my legacy Now that I’m here… Ascending, growing, expanding, intense pleasure, inspiration, determination… FIRE! MORE FIRE! It was you who got me here… You courageous, brave, extraordinary creature, you. Thankyou for believing in the unknown. For jumping into it. Thankyou for going through the darkness to bring me freedom. C’mon, my beautiful, everything you knew you could, would and felt.. That you were… You’re beyond that… and much more… FIRE! MORE FIRE! Beautiful, you’ve created a God damn uprising. A re-invention of yourself from the ashes that will blow your mind. Don’t ever fear for one moment what you’re capable of. Your crazy fun sexy ass unstoppable self… Hell yes… You’ve created a MIND TRANSFORMATION REVOLUTION.

Am empire of love… That feels electric to the skin That connects and inspires souls That moves hearts That sparks energy It’s YOUR SOUL! That creates divine, love, abundance, wealth, health, mindset… A higher consciousness of love… A beautiful impact for humans and animals. You’ve bought down mountains… Created awakenings… You exceptional, remarkable being of light and love. The moments you’ve designed, allowed, bought to me. How you hold your own, right now, with love and power. It’s going to leap you forward to experiences that are going to fill your epic soul. To where I’m standing now. I love you I’ve got you. I know what you’re made of. I know you’ll die for your purpose. For those you love. That’s how we got here, beautiful. To, the past me… Let this empower the hell out of you For what’s ahead… Soar through it, my love. As I stand here now… ME NOW! Being here is everything you dreamed of, and MORE! Know that You’ve (I’ve) stepped into your super hero self. You’re raising the freaking bar… You’re bringing the FIRE… MORE FIRE! MORE FREAKING FIRE! Keep stepping up, my love, I’m watching over you. It’s going to blow your mind when you get here. (Poem / letter to past me… From me NOW) Love you, Thankyou... Mandy xo RESILIENCE!
