I Love You

June 15, 2020 by Reagan Baird in Personal

If you’re reading this, I love you. I genuinely, truly, seriously, unconditionally love you.

No matter your religion (or lack thereof), I love you. Christian? I love you. Muslim? I love you. Jewish? I love you. Hindu? Buddhist? Sikh? I love you. Agnostic or Atheist? I love you. Whatever you believe in, I love you.

If you’re gay, I love you. Straight? I love you. Asexual? Lesbian? Bisexual? Intersex? Pansexual? I love you all! To my friends who are transgender, cisgender, non-binary, queer, questioning. I love you.

If you’re Black, I love you. White, I love you. Brown, I love you. No matter the shade of your skin, I love you.

Korean? I love you. Mexican? I love you. Kenyan? I love you. Whatever country you come from, I love you. If you are an immigrant or a refugee or are undocumented, I love you.

If you are a person who is deaf, I love you. Hearing? I love you. Sighted or blind, I love you. If you are someone who is neurotypical or neurodivergent, I love you. If you are have prosthetic limbs or use a wheelchair or have limited mobility in any way, I love you. If you are a person with dyslexia or ADD or any learning differences; a person living with any illness of the mind or body; a person who communicates differently or is non-verbal, I love you.

No matter what you believe, who you love, what you look like, where you’re from, what your abilities are... I LOVE YOU.

I want to know all about you. I want to celebrate who you are. I want to know how God created each specific part of your being. I want to know about your experiences. I want to know what language to use to best communicate kindness and respect. I want to learn how to love you well and how to be a better neighbor to you.

I am not perfect. I am sure I have ignorance that needs to be met with education. So have grace with me, if you can. Because I want my house & my heart to be a safe place for you. I will fight against any discrimination or hate. I support your right to live freely & safely. I LOVE YOU!


(The only exception I can think of is that if you pose any danger to me, my family, or to others. You are still loved by me, but through boundaries I will not be ashamed to use.)

Today, I’m meditating on my word for this year: balance. There is so much newness, so much uncertainty, so much sweetness, so many obstacles... so much to take in. I’m learning over and over again how important it is for me to seek balan
Listen, I’m a life coach. So much of what I’m trained to do is help people set and achieve their goals. But this season? This is weird. As soon as this virus started spreading, I took a big step back. So much of my market became immediat
