No More Lost Time: A Revelation Through “EZ Memories”

While packing for a new chapter in life, I stumbled upon two dusty boxes labeled “EZ Memories.” Inside, I discovered a treasure trove—cards, poems, and love letters that had been collected over 45 years. Each piece was a reminder of the love, joy, and impact I had shared with others. Friends, family, even clients—each note was a reflection of the light I had offered, the encouragement I had given, and the deep care and loyalty I had always shown.

As I read through them, I laughed until I cried, and then I cried until I laughed. The words were filled with praise, gratitude, and love. People shared how I had helped them see life more clearly, how I had lifted them during their darkest hours. It was overwhelming in the best way.

By the final letter, a different kind of tear was present. It wasn’t for the love I had given, but for the love I had withheld from myself. I grieved the years spent doubting my worth, silencing my brilliance, and believing I was too much—or not enough.

That moment became a turning point. I vowed that not another second would be spent in self-hate or self-doubt. I would stand fully in my heart, not just for others, but for myself. The love I so freely gave would now include me.

Because the truth is clear: I’ve always been enough. And now, I finally believe it. ~Elizabeth xo
