Hello and welcome to You Are One of One,
Honoring the sacred wonder of being you.
I'm so grateful you're here with me today.
Just take a moment to settle in wherever you are,
However you are.
Allow yourself the gift of a pause,
A breath,
A gentle exhale.
This moment is just for you.
Let your body soften,
Your neck and shoulder area,
Arms,
Hands,
Fingers,
Chest,
Back,
Abdomen,
Hips,
Legs,
And feet.
Relax.
Take a breath in and slowly release,
Letting go.
Settle into this present moment.
So,
I'd like to speak to something we often forget.
It's something quietly sacred,
Yet incredibly powerful.
And that is this.
There has never been another you.
Not in the whole of time of existence.
Not in all the turning of the stars.
Not in all the places life has ever touched.
You truly are one of one.
Utterly irreplaceable.
Not because of what you do.
Not because of how productive or polished or perfect you are.
But because of who you are right at your core.
Your center.
There's never been another with your exact way of feeling.
With the particular cadence of your beautiful laugh.
Or the way your eyes light up when something moves you.
No one else carries your constellation of memories.
The way you've walked through grief or joy.
The way your heart holds both shadow and sunlight.
No one dreams in exactly the way you do.
No one else has your voice,
Your timing,
Your tenderness,
Your inner music.
And yet,
How often do we forget this?
We compare.
We shrink.
We doubt.
We try to fold ourselves into boxes we were never meant to fit inside.
We're sometimes told to be more like this,
Less like that.
And little by little,
Our beautiful bright light dims.
Not because it's gone,
But because we forget to look for it.
So,
Just for a moment,
Come back now.
Come back to your essence.
To the way you notice beauty in simple things.
To your way of loving people deeply.
To how you show up even when it's hard.
To the way your presence can soothe,
Uplift,
Or inspire often without you even realizing it.
So,
These are not small things.
These are the threads of your wondrous soul.
And when woven together,
They make something magnificent.
It's unrepeatable.
It's unique.
You are not here to be like everyone else.
You are here to be you.
In all your nuance,
Your wisdom,
Your curiosity,
Your wild compassion,
And your beautiful,
Quietly beating heart.
Maybe no one told you this lately,
So let be.
Your being is a gift.
Your sensitivity is a strength.
Your presence,
Just as it is,
Is enough.
You don't have to become anyone else.
You don't have to achieve something spectacular to matter.
Your existence,
Your essence,
Is already the miracle.
And yes,
There will be days you forget.
There will be moments when you feel too much or not enough.
But still,
You will remain beautiful,
Worthy,
Whole,
Held by something greater and deeply needed in this world exactly as you are.
So,
I invite you to walk gently with yourself.
To honor your way of being.
To stand with your own spirit.
You are not a mistake.
You are not behind.
You are not invisible.
You are unique.
You are here.
And that matters more than you know.
So,
Breathe those words deep into your heart and let them echo throughout your being.
Let this be your reminder.
There has never been another you.
And there never will be again.
So,
Thank you so much for joining me today.
And may this truth settle into your heart.
And may you carry it gently into whatever comes next.
And remember,
You are enough.
You are needed.
You are deeply loved.
And you are so unique.
Namaste,
My friend.
