With gratitude say yes to your amazing personhood. Yes without alteration or a nagging need for self-improvement. Say yes to loving yourself with all your stuff, because Spirit made you just this way. Know with me there is a reason for your being.

I have always felt that the first duty of a writer was to ascend -- to make flights, carrying others along if you can manage it. To do this takes courage, even a certain conceit. …E.B. White
