Have you ever tried to shrink yourself? To be less of who you are to fit into other peoples boxes? Have you ever been told that you are too much? I have, and that’s what brought me to starting this blog. For years I have been told I’m too loud, I’m too emotional, I’m too sensitive, I take everything the wrong way, no one can talk to me. For as far back as I can remember my primary goal was to be a “people-pleaser” so people would like me. In doing so I lost my authentic self along the way. I ended up in a co-defendant relationship that shattered my world when it ended. In hindsight it was the best thing that could have happened to me but I didn’t feel that at the time. I spent a year piecing myself back together. Turning broken into something that resembled beautiful. I am a continual work in progress. I have come to recognize myself as a highly emotional person, an empath, and I am learning to embrace that truth. My reiki practitioner told me at my last session, “You already know, you just have to embrace it.” Recently I was lucky enough to participate in two workshops. One was an End of Year Soul Reset and the other was a Start of the Year Soul Planner, run by S.C. Lourie of Butterflies and Pebbles. In the process of completing those workshops I started to write and the more I wrote the more I knew I had a lot to say. At the coaxing and gentle nudging of several people close to me, I decided to take the leap. So join me. I hope you can find comfort here. Let’s step into our truth together.
