Pink Mare tag on back neck. I sewed the tag on slightly crooked, and went to fix it, but stopped myself. I think it fully embraces the concept of "as you are" and I like it that way.
Here are some words I wrote several months ago about this phrase:
(learning and learning and thinking and thinking)
show up as you are! have opinions, feel deep feelings, love others with every fiber of your being. change your opinions sometimes. you’re allowed! I’ve learned it’s easier to be grounded in what I believe if I grant myself permission to adjust and purify and chisel my opinions. It forges me into a better person. It invites curiosity. If every idea my mind created had to be permanent, I think I would hold back from thinking (and most of you know thinking is not something I hold back from doing lol). hold fast to your core beliefs, but allow new experiences and perspectives to shape you.
we’re all still figuring it out! that’s good! as you are today doesn’t have to be as you are in a year. we’re all still growing! that’s good too! In the messy, in the chaos, in the put together, in the victory, as you are is loved.
