Have you heard of Shel Silverstein? Have you read his children’s book, The Giving Tree? It is a beautiful story and one I’ve loved all my life, as a kid and to this day at 27. Sometimes the prettiest words are the simplest. In fact, simplicity is the most alluring thing to me. Like an easy to read kid’s book or a quiet afternoon hiding from the scorching sun underneath the branches of an olive tree. We as women, usually struggling underneath a emotional braid that knots too often; we especially need simplicity and we should seek it in every way we can. Go easy on yourself. You are pretty enough. You work hard enough, we all could work harder but life is just a little too short to think too much about this. You are everything you should be. I don’t know about you, but me? I need afternoons like this one underneath a tree. In the same way I need coffee or shampoo, it’s a bare necessity. I refuse to go without.
