A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Connection’ that reads: Know yourself well enough so that you can weave love into every corner of your existence; cultivating a heart that recognizes exactly how it should be loved.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’A Path Forward’ that reads: We do not remain unchanged by the things that weigh us down; they alter how we carry ourselves as we search for settled ground. We live among our doubts and fears and the challenges we face; unsure about what might come next, blind to the good that awaits. But maybe these lessons are heavy because some nestle soulfully deep; they build a resiliency and wisdom that is forever ours to keep. Even when we feel diminished or lost to the stars and sun; new pieces of ourselves are forming, our healing has already begun.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’A Reminder’ that reads: You will find ways to heal; I promise. Heartbreak is not forever. Remember that.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Rise Up’ that reads: It takes boldness to remain open, kind and encouraged in a world that tells so many not to flourish. Stay determined, take up space, rise up despite the fear; believe in your voice, persist — persevere.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Voyager’ that reads: Navigate the stars and oceans of what was, and sail among what could be. Find yourself somewhere between longing and living; embrace the rough and the quelled sea. Taste the salt and chase the wind; sing with the birds at sunrise. Give time for cool mists to linger, but seek harbour under dark skies. Befriend the waves both high and low; let the cold dance over your skin. Warm yourself in fresh daylight; exhale the dawn and begin.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Listen When You Need It Most’ that reads: Do not believe the whispers; do not fear the cascade. Let it roar fierce and shifting; let it rumble on and fade. Know that it returns sometimes; know you can survive. You are made of forests green; you are lush and destined to thrive. Listen when you need it most; listen when kindness flows. Root yourself in gifted love; root yourself where it grows. It’s there that it will quiet; it’s there where you can breathe. You’ll find the sunlight shining; you’ll find your own reprieve.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Finding Your Way’ that reads: Listen carefully to what your healing is quietly teaching you.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Meadows’ that reads: My love for you isn’t conditional or only for when the sun shines; it’s a blossoming, full love; it’s luminous during dark times. I am your shelter, I am your soul, I am your peaceful rest and repose. I am a blossoming, full love of endless flower-filled meadows.

I write to empty my mind and to fill my heart. | Paulo Coelho

A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Moments of Rest’ that reads: I appreciate the gentle quiet that the snow brings as it settles, it’s like nature is reminding us to slow down and rest; to find comfort.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Renovation’ that reads: You are allowed to reintroduce yourself to the universe as you heal. The pieces you put back together; transformed, have much to reveal.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’A Journey’ that reads: To live an abundant life we must allow love to touch all the parts of our existence; where joy and purpose flourish, calling us home to ourselves.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Reconnection’ that reads: The fastest way to lose your sense of self is to set aside peace, purpose and joy for those who only see your value according to their own needs. Be intentional about who you let into your life; do not be afraid to reassert, reclaim and remind the universe who you are.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Renewal’ that reads: Let this season reaffirm that change can be bountiful.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Promise of a New Day’ that reads: You are the soft light of morning; the promise of a new day. You are fragrant mists and birdsong; you are rivers, moss and clay. You are everything you need to be; you are nourishment seed and sun. There is purpose in your rising; the time to thrive has come.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Love Yourself Enough’ that reads: While productivity can bring a sense of purpose, it is not a measure of your value or success. Love yourself enough to be intentional with your time and allow for recovery and rest.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Boundaries’ that reads: Rethinking how we approach something in order to preserve our own mental health isn’t quitting or failure; it’s survival, it’s resiliency and it’s necessary.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’Better Times Ahead’ that reads: Sunkissed days are not over when the frosts of winter come; the nourishment of root and bloom unseen, is never done. The storms and cold will calm in time as warmth arrives once more; new growth will flourish, renewed again of this you can be sure.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’When Change Comes’ that reads: New Beginnings and fresh starts don’t need midnight to prevail. A renewed shift blossoms when you decide to exhale.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’More to Come’ that reads: You deserve to see how much more love will come your way.
A poem by Molly from Transatlantic Notes called, ’After the Rain’ that reads: Watch how nature flourishes and grows after the rain - - you can too.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept love in return. | Maya Angelou
