I Celebrate Me

July 1st, 2007

July 6th is my birthday. I mention this not

because I want a card or a gift, but to share

with you a gift of awareness I recently received.

I work with a professional coach. When I met my

business goals a few months back, she asked me

what I did to celebrate. “Celebrate?” I thought

with surprise. And then it hit me. If I don’t

celebrate myself, who will? 

So I took some time to pat myself on the back by

doing something I’ve always wanted to do.  I hired

a personal trainer to work with me a few weeks and

set me up on a organized fitness routine. 

It felt so good. It changed my perspective and

gave me the freedom to appreciate being ME.

The bonus was that I felt even freer to set new

goals that inspire me forward. Now I’m even more

excited about meeting them. I can’t wait to see

what fun I have in store for myself when I get

there!

In the meantime, I celebrated my 37th birthday by

inviting some friends to

Kensington

Park for the

morning. We rode our bikes and enjoyed a picnic

together. It was a wonderful day.

As the icing on the cake, I received this poem

from a dear client of mine. As you read it,

please put yourself in the picture. Because no

one deserves to be celebrated more than YOU.

  

I CELEBRATE ME

I am worth celebrating. I am worth everything. I

am unique. In the whole world, there is only one

me. There is only one person with my talents,

experience, gifts. No one may take my place.

God created only one me, precious in His sight. I

have immense potential to love, care, create,

grow, sacrifice, if I believe in myself.

It doesn’t matter my age, or color, or whether my

parents or someone else loved me or not. (Maybe

they wanted to but couldn’t.)

It doesn’t matter what I have been, the things

I’ve done, mistakes I’ve made, people I’ve hurt.

I am forgiven.

I am accepted. I am okay. I am loved in spite of

everything. So I love myself and nourish seeds

within me.

I celebrate me. I begin now, start anew, I give

myself a new birth today. I am me, and that is

all I need to be.

Today is a new beginning, a new life, given

freely. So I celebrate the miracle; and I

celebrate me.
