With love from Little Me…

A letter of gratitude 🙏

Dear Reader

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being open to my story.

For listening to older me telling the story of how she found me.

How she overcame the disbelief

The fear

The incredulity of those around her.

When I had exhausted all avenues of attempted communication.

I thank you for accepting and loving her

.. and by doing so validating my very existence,

my presence within

my love for her.

I am grateful for those who suggested I may exist

That I may be the answer to her searching

For answers

For closure

For clarity

As to who she is

And who she could become.

Without your acceptance and

Willingness to listen

I wouldn’t be able to reassure

To inspire you, and others ..

to seek their own younger self.

For from that first willingness

To take me seriously

To hear my childish voice

We have grown together

We have assimilated

.. and become one being

Whole

Healed … and

Loved ❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined the LIVE conversation with @Caterina yesterday (link below) - the first but hopefully not the last opportunity to explore our joint experiences of being adopted and later discovering and understanding our inner child, a concept I didn’t even accept existed a few years ago.

Since then I’ve learnt to keep an open mind and to accept that there are truths beyond my understanding. Things and concepts that can exist without me being aware or believing in them, in the same way the earth was round when the vast majority of the population believed it to be flat.

None of us have a complete grasp of the truth, we all see things through the lens of our experience, education and environment.

If I hadn’t sat that day, pen in hand and asked my inner child, if she indeed was there, what she wanted me to know, I wouldn’t have discovered the key to eradicating the inner rage that used to pop up unannounced from time to time, causing me to feel totally out of control .. hurting myself and those that happened to be in my path.

This side effect of listening and responding to my younger self was totally unexpected, yet transformative. I live mainly in peace now, am aware when my inner child needs reassurance or an extra portion of love and am connected in a way I never was before.

I wonder at times if this experience is unique to me, surely others must relate or resonate to some extent to my story? Maybe you are nodding away as you read this post.

In a bid to remove the mystery surrounding the concept of inner child healing I decided to write about my journey in a short ebook.

You can read Finding Little Me - learning to ❤️ and live with my inner child here … available as ebook £2.99 and on Kindle Unlimited.

I’ve also created a simple guide to help you discover your inner child based on my personal experience.

It’s important for me to add a disclaimer at this point..

I am not a psychologist, psychiatrist or counsellor but merely share my own steps that led to becoming aware of my inner child and what she had wanted me to know for many years. My aim in so doing is to remove some of the fear and misunderstanding around this subject and reassure anyone seeking to engage with the younger version of themselves.

As mentioned in our conversation on Thursday @Caterina and I are co creating a joint post which is due to be published next week. It continues the theme of “Finding your Inner Child” and will be in the form of two poems. I’m excited to read Caterina’s contribution and bring this to both our audiences.

I am also eager to hear your own opinions, thoughts and personal stories on this subject.
