INSPIRATION: SF Ali

Our Resident Cheerleader

The man who is always there (except lately because I think it’s hard to keep up with thousands of stories that come out each day on Medium AND the Medium algorithm people are all over you hahaha, and you are like the most sought after Medium celebrity…Not to mention the facebook, instagram, family and paying job demands)

Um ok, let’s start again shall we?

On your birthday,

We,

Celebrate You

We Celebrate,

That You Are Alive

You could have left us, and you didn’t. Thank you for that gift SF Ali! You stayed!

Good thing because we need you! Because your words resonate. You touch us. You help us. Someone needs to hear what you write and the universe will present it to them right when they need it most. You share. And oh how you share. The power in your sharing changes lives SF!

Know that you are loved and adored by your tribe, as much as you love us right back!

We hold space for you on your birthday and everyday.

For many of us your name was one of the first ❤️’s we ever received, blessing us with the affirmation we needed to come back.

We are grateful to you.

We are grateful for you.

Your story!

Your truth!

Your depth!

Your openness!

Your desire for justice for love, of love, with love!

It’s that abundance of passion, of loyalty for your family and your fans.

It’s the humbleness you walk in.

It’s the innocence you show, though you have seen the deepest darkness.

It’s the drive you carry.

It’s the passion you exude.

It’s for all that — that makes you the one and only beautiful SF.

A beautiful parfait of thoughts and emotions and ideas and smiles and skin❤️

(Um, ok had to add the skin part…like hello? fierce force and millennial dark skin?? #sorrynotsorry).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Thank you from all of us, your Medium tribe, for inspiring us- word after word after word!
