To Calm Your Nerves, Little Love by Elizabeth Neal
My darling daughter. I’m so proud of you. You were so brave and courageous in telling me you’re feeling nervous. It’s not always easy to name your feelings—and you did it with such grace little one.
I want you to know it’s OK to honor, feel, and lean into every single feeling that comes up little love. They’re all information. They’re all here to help us. We just have to be still enough to listen to the wisdom.
I want to reassure you, feeling nervous is completely normal. It’s a part of being human, a journey you and I are starting together little love.
Nervousness comes any time we’re about to do something great or magical. Stepping into the unknown can be scary. And that’s perfectly OK.
But that’s why you have me beside you darling daughter. To hold your hand. To care for your heart. To let you know you’re never alone. I will walk through the scary part with you.
You are safe. You are loved. You are held. Momma’s got you.
We will take on this journey, side by side, holding hands. And when you’re nervous, you can squeeze my hand tight, and I’ll hold you even tighter. And together, we’ll breathe.
My love will wrap around you like a warm blanket little love. And with that love, I’ll shield you with a golden aura of protection to keep you safe. To deflect any harm or negativity.
You can do this. You can do anything little love.
Together, we can conquer your nervousness. And as you get older, momma will show you how to embrace the shadows.
If you’re nervous, little love, it’s because you’re embarking on the greatest adventure a soul can take.
And it’s going to be filled with so many mysteries and treasures. You’ll experience a love bigger than you could ever imagine.
Because at the end of your adventure, little love, will be your dad and I waiting…
…waiting to hold you.
…waiting to love you.
…waiting for you, little love…
Our Treasure.
