My Why

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.
