So, dear friend, take a deep breath, knowing you’re not a minute behind schedule.
You’ve come so far, and have quite an adventure ahead.
Take a deep breath and release your heart’s tug towards envy.

Your story is a fresh expression of the Divine.
Take a deep breath and step forward.
Grace and glory will meet you at every turn.
