Dear friend, Our job in life: learn our Truth and then be our Truth. (with a capital T) Our Truth is who we are at our essence: the person we are before the world told us who we are supposed to be.Our Truth is what we truly believe, value.What we stand for and against. Who we love.How we spend our time and earn our living.How we dress.How we find fulfillment, joy, calling.And on and on… Our Truth will tell us all…
Dear friend, I used to try really hard to fit in, go along with the crowd, do what I thought was “normal”. While some people pride themselves on being different, I wanted so so badly to blend in. I didn’t want any sort of judgment coming my way on how I looked, what I did for a living, or how I thought. To me, if I disappeared into normal-ness, it’d make for a comfortable life. When I reached my early…
Dear friend, Have you ever followed someone’s advice only to discover what worked for them most definitely did not work for you? I’ve done this many times over in my life. Even when it comes to following a dream or “forging your own path”, as I like to call it, there are many, many “formulas” and fancy 7-Step Processes that promise success. I’ve invested a lot of money on these kinds of things only to discover these formulas were not…
Dear friend, This may sound cliche but please hear me out… I think some of the best life lessons come from our failures. We grow the most by not getting what we want or not having things work out in our favor all the time. This seems counter to what it should be but I’m beginning to believe that going after a dream is not actually about achieving the dream in a nice, easy, buttoned up way. The purpose of…
Dear friend, The world often laughs at phrases like “follow your heart” or “listen to your inner wisdom” and to an extent I get it. It sounds a bit silly and esoteric. I suppose I would laugh along if I hadn’t experienced these heart nudges and inner knowings firsthand. Maybe you’ve felt these heart nudges too? They often show up as if your whole body is saying yes; every cell in your body dancing with delight at the thought of…
Dear Friend, Sometimes I like to scribble little poems in my journal. Here is a recent one. Please always remember~ You’ve got a purpose on your life. Yes, YOU. Buried deep down. You do not need to look outside yourself to find this purpose, in fact you can’t. You must look inward. There are tiny seeds of wisdom within you. The seeds have been patiently waiting to be watered. Water them thru your stillness and your movement. Water them by…
Dear Friend, I used to be intimidated by words like purpose and greatness. These words equated to the pie in the sky idea of following my dreams and for most of my life didn’t think I had a purpose or a dream to follow. Sure, every so often I’d let myself imagine what could be possible, but deep down I thought following a dream or being “great” was for other people, not me. Life has a funny way about it…
