“The launch of a new chapter in the book of Kate”
It’s time to launch! The new you, the one who is continuing to heal, continuing to learn and continuing to find out exactly what you are made of. The experiences of your life have been tiny and mundane, big and disruptive, long and arduous, unfair and intense, joyous and unexpected, hurtful and sobering, magical and transformative, surprising and perfect.
Each of the lines in the story of your life have been necessary.
Each character has served a purpose.
Each surprise has brought you newness.
Each hurt has brought you softness.
Each plot twist has brought you an opportunity.
Each challenge has brought you strength.
Each disappointment has brought you tenderness.
Each win has brought you power.
Each choice has brought a turn and each lesson has brought wisdom.
You have been followed by calm moonlight, led by brilliant sunshine and kept safe by loving angels. You were named Kate by the universe before the foundations of the earth.
There has never been a moment when you were not loved, safe or protected by the love that spun you out into existence. There has never been a moment when you were not perfectly Kate, even before you knew that your story was indeed titled, Kate.
All of the steps and people that have brought you to this moment have molded you into the strong, soft, silly, wise, intuitive, confident, perfect Kate that you are.
Soon, in the seat of an airplane, a loud and definitive exclamation point will form at the end of a beautiful chapter.
You can be so proud of the chapter you intentionally and vulnerably wrote.
You let people in and you gave them your heart.
You tried new things and went to new places.
You took chances and learned how to hear your own voice.
You took big steps and felt proud.
You cried tears and let pain flow in and out.
You gained perspective, forgave and began again.
You drew lines in the sand and protected them.
You made a massive mark on hearts, changing them forever.
The next chapter begins as one ends and that same exclamation point energy propels you onto the fresh, white page.
What will you write?
What characters are waiting to inspire you?
What challenges are forming to show you the power of your foundation and the genius of your mind?
What adventures and pockets of joy are delightfully lying in wait to surprise you and fill your soul with awe?
Your launch from here to there gives you a fresh pen.
Grab it and let the universe and Kate write another epic chapter in the story of you.
