“I Am I’ve decided that I am free to be what and who I was created to be.
I am free to choose a path that honors my progress and stimulates my growth. 
I am free to love, forgive, and embrace all that I truly am. I am confident, joyful, and grateful. I am resilient, tried, and true to myself. I am ready to move forward. 
It’s time that I put down every burden, regret, and pain—and boldly walk into my freedom. It doesn’t matter who I was yesterday or who people think I am today. I am walking in my truth and standing in my authority. I am free to let go and move forward. My purpose and progress depend on it.”
― Morgan Richard Olivier, Blooming Bare
