Believer

I remember when I went to pick up Lexi from school and I was late.  She texted me and told me she would go hide in the bathroom...I called her out for joking, saying she was giving me a hard time...but then I found out that she was being honest and had to stand on the toilet hiding until I got there...to make it all the "better", I did not text her when I pulled up on purpose, because I thought she was messing with me..so she had to stay hiding standing on the toilet for even longer...

 

Gosh how I love your little girl, to sum up her as a person in one word I can only say "Believe"

She believes in herself, and believes in the goodness in the world.  That is a characteristic that some lose, especially at her age, and losing that can change a person forever. Now back in Kansas City, I find things I wrote from when I was here age and I can't believe I wrote them.  She has a gift, I once had it too...what she is doing it with is much different than what I did with my gift.  I will always look up (yes she is probably taller than me, and metaphorically she reminds me of the true spirit I have inside myself).  Lexi is Believing...she is not one to want, she doesn't think about wants.  She dreams...and she believes and her dreams come true.  Lexi, you are a very blessed special person, who is no longer a little girl, as you grow up and grow into the "old soul" inside you, honor yourself.

Be strong, as you have kept your mother on her path and are a light to everyone who meets you.  I am blessed we crossed paths.  

 

In yoga, the term Namaste is said to translate to "The light I see in you is the light I see in me"  Thank you Lexi, for the light I see, for you, "The Believer" I will do my best to believe.  

 

Happy Birthday, Sweetie, I love you.

Blissfully,

Ashley
