My inner world has been a lot like the weather these days. Warm, breezy and fine one day, then grey, cold and rainy the next. Then along comes a vicious wind storm that flings things all over the place.
But like the line in my favorite movie Moulin Rouge goes…”she made it through the wilderness, somehow she made it through”…( which is actually the song “Like a Virgin” )
I am here to say, it pays to take that inner journey of self-discovery (not that mine is all done) and to sort through behaviors and beliefs that have been holding you back.
It is an amazing feeling to be able to see life differently and with wonder and anticipation and to feel courage.
It takes courage to fully feel courage.
I have been on a journey to find and be the authentic me, learning the true meaning of nurturing oneself and relying on the Divine within, learning to operate from the essence of who I am. ( The essence of who we really are is always whole, healthy and without fear, did you know that?)
The payoff of taking the time to do that is huge. To be who you are without fear…..isn’t that what we all desire?
In our fast-paced, over-stimulated, crazy busy culture, taking time to go within is not at the top of very many To-Do lists. But I see more folks doing this and more women doing what they need to do to find their true essence.
I’m really grateful for women like Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres who don’t shy away from exposing us all to the things that really matter so we can truly enjoy all of the other stuff!
After some time of darkness, it feels so wonderful to peek out and see the sun, in a new way, with new eyes.
I want to thank all of the amazing women in my life who held my hand and supported me in this last ‘chapter’ of my life. You all rock and I love you!!
What would your life look like if you released all self-doubt and fear?
