  Hello and welcome back to the Letterbox Podcast.
• 0:02
  I'm Lucy. And this is the place where real
• 0:04
  people share the real letters they've written about the things
• 0:07
  that mean the most to them. I'm really excited to share
• 0:11
  today's letter with you because Melody has taken the time to
• 0:14
  write and record her letter about hope after homelessness.
• 0:19
  She said she wanted the letter to be heard as a source of
• 0:22
  encouragement for anyone who might be experiencing
• 0:24
  difficulties in their life to encourage them to trust
• 0:27
  themselves, follow their inner compass, and listen to the voice
• 0:31
  of hope that it's hidden deep within.
• 0:33
  And I really think it does this. Just before I share Melody's
• 0:39
  amazing letter with you, I would love to ask for your help and
• 0:44
  support. I am doing all I can to grow
• 0:47
  this podcast, but I cannot do it without you.
• 0:51
  So to all of you listening, whether you have been here from
• 0:54
  the beginning or whether this is your first episode today, I
• 0:57
  would really love for you to press the follow button and tell
• 1:02
  somebody about the podcast, someone who you think might
• 1:05
  enjoy it too. I know you're already doing an
• 1:07
  incredible job of spreading the word because we are being
• 1:10
  listened to all over the world. I'd really, really love for you
• 1:13
  to help me get more people evolved, so if you can do that,
• 1:17
  it would absolutely make my day. But now let's hear from Melody
• 1:23
  and her letter to her future self.
• 1:29
  Hello Letterbox, dear future me, if you're opening this two years
• 1:37
  from now, I hope you're happy, healthy and living in your Oasis
• 1:43
  of peace. Right now, my life is quite
• 1:47
  busy, my career has made consistent yet gradual
• 1:51
  improvements and I'm working hard at reaching new goals.
• 1:57
  When I reflect on how far you've come from 2022, falling into
• 2:03
  harmlessness, innerness, and so many years of riding the
• 2:09
  difficult shores of life, I realise the struggles were worth
• 2:14
  it because I've learned so much about the insecure person I once
• 2:22
  was and the woman I'm becoming today.
• 2:26
  The lessons I learned revealed the old patterns that no longer
• 2:30
  served me except as companions that held me back from using the
• 2:37
  potential I was too afraid to recognise.
• 2:42
  And the deep sense of loneliness I felt was found in a people
• 2:48
  pleaser lost within a fragmented soul.
• 2:53
  Once I had time to think and see life from a new perspective, I
• 2:59
  could see things differently. I realised I had more power than
• 3:05
  I thought I had. I learned to trust my inner
• 3:10
  compass and move forward from a place of wisdom.
• 3:16
  As soon as I let go of old ways of thinking, I began to
• 3:21
  recognise the imperfect whole I've always been but wasn't
• 3:27
  ready to recognise before. My domain houses my soul,
• 3:32
  family, Psalm my cat, Labyrinth my dog and myself my company.
• 3:40
  Overflowing Life Coaching is making good headway.
• 3:45
  I'm happy to bear witness to the various levels of transformation
• 3:50
  in my clients. I am feeling quietly satisfied
• 3:55
  with myself, worth and my relationships with money.
• 4:00
  As this page of my life soars on the waves of life, I am learning
• 4:08
  to appreciate every day with gratitude the eternal and the
• 4:15
  external garden of my life. I love you and I wish you well,
• 4:22
  my empowered soul. Thank you from Melody Morris.
• 4:28
  Goodbye. Thank you so much Melody for
• 4:33
  such a lovely, amazing letter. I really love that you ended by
• 4:38
  saying that you love yourself because there are so many times
• 4:41
  our lives where sometimes we really struggle to say that to
• 4:44
  ourselves. I'm so proud and impressed by
• 4:48
  your journey and where you are today and the fact that you were
• 4:51
  able to look back and reflect on your life as it was and see how
• 4:55
  far you've come. No, this is going to be so
• 4:58
  inspirational to anybody who is having a hard time at the
• 5:02
  moment. And if that is you, I want you
• 5:04
  to re listen to this letter, find your inner hope and know
• 5:08
  that the future can be brighter. Thank you so much for everybody
• 5:14
  listening today. Your support means more than I
• 5:17
  can say. Until next time, keep that hope,
• 5:22
  love yourself and I am sending you all my love too.
