Yesterday's blog was a little bolder than my usual......pushing the envelope for public content some but you know what maybe not......and who says.......? What makes a topic off limits......or taboo.........Especially relevant and honest ones......and I got quite a few messages yesterday about how that topic resonated with another.....touched them, and that my voice was their own.....and that is why I persist......why I persist in the truth......the truth of this experience as I see it.....and feel it....and experience it........ every single day.....my ability to articulate it, helps another do the same.....feeling heard through my words......that is so humbling......sometimes my love of words, and the expressing of them, feels like both a blessing and a curse;-) ......my mind and body and soul spinning in letters and words, and ways to express the music that plays in the essence of who I am.......and the people in my life need to have a high tolerance to absorb them and hear them lol:) and read them;-).......but sometimes I think of it as a video game of sorts......like we all come into this life armed with what we will need.......our gifts and strengths.......tools like in Zelda.......and the key is to maximize the use of them......honor those gifts and use them to walk our path.......that is also why I love astrology so much, because looking at a person's chart speaks to those things......all the little parts that come together to make up a person and their experience in this life......and for me, for sure my ability to speak and write has served me well on the path I am currently on.......one of the life rafts.......but as it has continued I have realized it is bigger than my sitting down and sharing my heart every day on my computer screen while sipping my coffee........it is giving a voice to others and that is humbling in ways that are hard to express.......so I persist......I get up every day and seek my truth and then sit down and let it flow through me and out my fingertips........and part of that needs to be tackling deeper topics related to my journey, and being brave enough to explore them out loud, and let their truth be known......so I am committed to doing that.....I have attempted since this blog began to be as truthful as I can be, while honoring some sacred places and some boundaries in this story......and I think I have done that......able to talk about what I need to within the confines of that......so I persist for the reader......for the women that message me.......for my own heart and soul, and its healing.......in the name of being authentically me......and not changing that for anything......I have often said I would write this blog and hit the publish button daily even if nobody read........but the fact that many people do and STILL do.......is such a gift to my life and so appreciated......I appreciate each and every one of you that have walked all this way with me! Have an amazing weekend:)
The reasons I persist........
