I hope that your morning coffee feels like an “engle op your tong ge pipie het”

Loading player...
I hope today you feel loved. I hope you see kindness. I hope that your morning coffee feels like an “engle op your tong ge pipie het”. And every song you hear today makes you smile.

But if you don’t. If the world feels heavy or a little bit lonely, then I hope you know that it’s okay to take a moment. To breathe. To not have it all together. Sometimes (often) we get so caught up in trying to make every day perfect that we forget… the beautiful bits often hide in the imperfect ones.

Actually, I hope you have a completely beautiful, imperfect day. Filled with good things!

And I hope you find a small reminder that you matter. And that you are meant to be here.

Yes my friends, you have a purpose!

Maybe you'll find it in someone’s laugh or a stranger's smile. Maybe it’s your dog’s tail wagging, or a friend texting. Or maybe it’s just a thought. A beautiful, imperfect one… one where you remember that you’ve survived every bad day you’ve ever had. How you’ve rebuilt yourself more times than you probably give yourself credit for. How you’ve loved, lost, fallen apart, and somehow, you’re still standing.

Still trying. Still here.

The world has a funny way of nudging us back to hope, even when we’ve forgotten where we left it.

So today, please be gentle with yourself. Be present. Look up from your phone. See the world around you. Tell someone you love them. Forgive yourself for whatever you need to and give this new day a chance to surprise you.

And it will surprise you. Beautifully. Imperfectly.

Ja, I hope today you feel loved. I hope you see kindness. I hope that your morning coffee feels like an “engle op your tong ge pipie het”. And every song you hear today makes you smile.

I needed to repeat that.

Okay. Love you. Bye.
