Speaking Your Truth

Speaking your truth, and fully accepting and experiencing your true nature is a path to realizing your potential. It's also a way to stay on the path of owning your sovereignty. We are here on Earth only to bring to reality our true selves. We are not here to try to emulate others, or take on their truths as our own. Each of us has a job to do here: Be Yourself. In being yourself, as only YOU can, you teach the next generation that THEY can be themselves. When we live our truths, we add to the flavor of reality the special spice that is our personality, our beauty, our intelligence, our unique blend of so many experiences and discoveries... thus increasing the beauty of the Universe, the complexity and wholeness of God. If we are but spiritual individuations of God, experiencing Himself on all the various dimensional planes of existence, then by fully expressing ourselves in our own unique way, we are helping His grand design of expansion and growth and depth. I'm not able to speak for God, obviously, but if I were to conceive of a reason for the trillions of lives lived since the beginning of Time, this is what I would imagine was the reason for existence. 

 I'm sure that there is so much more to understand and experience to infinity, right? But is there a part of you that hears what I say and feels a kernel of truth here? My path in life has taken me all over. I have been a spiritual seeker since childhood, when I chose to attend a church with my best friend, at 7 years old, since my parents were of different faiths and didn't go to church. (One Catholic and one Lutheran, both based in Christianity.) I went to a Southern Baptist church! I didn't find what I was looking for there, although I liked it. I needed to know more about my place in the world, and my connection to God. I wanted to understand Jesus, and honestly, I wanted to learn how to be as close to God as I could be. However, seeded within the church was this underlying belief that I was not good enough, and that I needed to look to the church for guidance and validation. I also felt that my womanhood was at the root of “what was wrong” with me. And that slowly started me on a different path. I explored new ideas from then on that I felt were more empowering. I now see that as the start of my expansion into my truest self. 

For each of us that path will be different. Our highest truth is OUR highest Truth. We must discover this and we must speak it with others. I encourage people to listen with open hearts to what others say, but hold your kernel of truth within you. Let in that which resonates and release that which does not. Let us support each other in the knowing that we are all here to learn our lessons, which are going to be individual to each of us, and let us just hold space with love for the path others must traverse. It’s harder for some than others. People come into this life with baggage that can’t always be seen or even understood, so maybe we can honor that by just being loving, kind, and open. This could help us all on our own personal journeys. ❤️

Living Your Best Life… What Does That Mean? (Revised)

 

I have been absent for a long time because I have been working on myself. I have been digging deep and healing my past traumas, learning more about myself and the strength within me. I have expanded my capacity for compassion and love, and I can honestly say that this has led me to greater access to joy on a daily basis! Once I stopped filling my head with garbage from TV, and instead watching higher vibrational transmissions, I was able to raise my own energetic frequencies for longer periods of time. It’s both easy and challenging! Once you’re able to catch personal judgements and shift them in the moment, you’re on your road to personal mastery. It’s a freeing practice, too! Most of the time (not always!) I’m able to accept and move through negative thoughts and emotions more quickly and with more grace. Outer circumstances don’t upset me like they used to. It’s the type of freedom I have always craved for myself! I will have easier days and more challenging days, for sure. However, it’s much easier for me to dig for the lessons in the negative experiences, allowing me to move through them with positivity. 

When I was living in California, I was working in construction, making good money, with the ability to travel, pay for nice vacations and treat my friends & family to little trips, too. But I was working over 40 hours a week, and fatigued on the weekends, and I was pulsing with this feeling that there was more to life than living for the weekends. I could hear my soul calling to me, telling me that I needed to move to the east coast. Long story short, once I’d made the decision to do that, everything fell into place. True that my family and friends thought I was having a midlife crisis. True they maybe thought I was making a huge mistake. But it didn’t matter to me, because there was an internal voice speaking to me, and that voice was more insistent and held more power than any other voice outside of me. I’m realizing, some 15 years later, that my winding, weaving, convoluted path through my life is the journey I was meant to take. All the lessons in it were for my growth and expansion. I needed to learn A LOT! I still don’t know where my path is taking me, but it really doesn’t matter when you understand the most important truth: NOW is all we have to experience. NOW is when all things happen, so when we choose to learn and experience and grow in this now moment, we are living as closely as we can to our soul. And when we listen to the whispers of our higher self, our soul, then we are continually moving towards our best life.
