The Blossoming You: Celebrating Who You Are Now On The Way On the Way to Who You Are Becoming

By Mahalia Jackson

Have you ever struggled with feeling like you just weren't good enough, no matter how much you achieved, how much weight you lost, or how many people said they loved you? Did you finally get that job promotion, new dream car or house, or just started dating the person of your dreams only to find yourself secretly still wrestling with thoughts that someone like you doesn't deserve what you have been given? Are you someone who is struggling to become the great you that you know you can be because of deep-rooted thoughts and feelings of insecurity? Be encouraged. You are not alone. In her book, The Blossoming You, Mahalia openly shares from her heart words of encouragement through personal poems and other writings that came out of her own personal journey that will help you to learn to love, value, and to celebrate yourself now on the way to who you are becoming. At each stage of your blossoming, you will wrestle with insecurities. But the more you learn to affirm and love yourself at each stage of your growth and development the more you will develop a greater confidence that will help you to become the best you. Speaking to the flower that is in you, get ready to blossom!

Blossoming Flowers

You and I are blossoming flowers,

Each with our own beautiful unique color and fragrance.

The Blossoming You

You are a beautiful jewel whose beauty is continually shining through.

Be patient with yourself, like you have been to so many others. You’ve given so much love; celebrated so many others. You are learning to give that same love back to you. As you are doing so, please be patient with yourself along the way. As you continue to grow in your understanding of who you are, you are going to feel more and more beautiful day by day, just like the blossoming flower you are.
