Because I AM





I will love you beyond tomorrow because I never thought I would have today.

I will love you beyond your expectations because I am always open to exploring on your behalf.

I will love you in the dark places and hold your hand until the light returns—because no one held mine.

I will understand you when the world does not, because I will never find time to judge you.

The exploration of who you are is a gift, not a curse.
The discovery of your borders is a glorious crusade, journeying between light and dark.
Your authenticity does not scare me; it magnifies me.

I will accept what you offer,
help heal what is wounded,
embrace your thoughts and ideas,
and support your gifts as we embark on strange new destinations.

I will… because I love you.
And because no one knew how to love me.

So as I sit here embracing today, preparing for tomorrow,
I will be your guard.
I will be your faith.
I will be what you need.

Because I am you.

So I took out the bat to punish myself, trying to fix all my flaws. I was trying to earn love— but it really wasn’t love at all. Pride fell, that’s for sure. Shame ruled. The lies conquered. And buried beneath what felt ...

Sit Down and Watch An Invitation to the Chair For those who are circling. For those who feel like they’re breaking. For those who’ve tried every strategy, prayer, and plea—and are still met with silence. This is not the end. This is the invitation. The Chair is where the becoming begins. This piece is the opening threshold to the book taking a lifetime to live and write.  No matter how messy or late you feel—if you’re reading this, it’s time. Sit down. And watch. from the book: The Chair, by Sunny Lancaster December 2025 There is a moment in every life—quiet and disruptive all at once—when the ground beneath you stops responding. What once worked no longer works. What once comforted no longer fits. The roles you wore—mother, partner, leader, survivor—feel heavy or hollow, sometimes both. The prayers bounce back. The stories crack. And before you even realize what’s happening, you’re no longer walking forward. You’re circling something. That something is  The Chair . Most peopl...
