Facing the Truth

-

 

Dear Me,

It's time to face the truth. The truth that you have been avoiding. The truth hiden behind the veil of unworthiness and preceived damage. As your soul.... I'm here to speak my truth....So here it goes.....

I just want you to know how special you are. You often look at yourself thinking you made bad decisions in the past. But you didn’t. You experienced situations that made you be you. We all make choices; some we love, others we hate. But that is not a direct reflection of you as a person. Your heart is pure. You do things from a place of love. You have always seen the best in people when others see the worst. You have always been the champion of the underdog because you know what it feels like to be the underdog. You wake up every day with an excitement of what the day holds. You spend your day filling people’s cups. Helping them see their value within themselves. You are the biggest cheerleader. You have always wanted to see people win. You never place judgment on an individual because you know that their experiences have created barriers, behaviors, habits and those things guide their decisions. Just as it has done for you.  Celebrate you. Celebrate what you have survived and learned. Embrace every part of you. Don’t just show the polished you. Show all parts of you. Your openness is your beauty. Your appreciation and gratitude for life is your badge of honor. When you look in the mirror look at the whole version vs looking at what you deemed damaged. There are parts of you that life did take a chunk out, but those scars made you whole. You are amazing. You are loved. You are appreciated. You are worthy. You are seen. You are heard, and You are understood.

  Dear Me, As I sit here on the back porch of the sanctuary I now call home, sipping on a cup of soul-warming coffee, enveloped in the soothing embrace of reggae music, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Grateful for the person looking back at me in the mirror, a person I've come to be genuinely proud of over this past transformative year. This year, I made a conscious effort to observe myself without the harsh lens of judgment. Judgment, I realized, was my signal that I had stumbled upon a trigger—an opportunity for self-discovery. Instead of condemning myself, I chose curiosity. I delved into the why behind these triggers and uncovered a tapestry woven with threads of self-abuse, rejection, resentment, guilt, and unworthiness. It was a daunting revelation, but one that I faced head-on. In the chaos of negative emotions, I learned the art of pause. Life, I discovered, unfolds more effortlessly when we heed the warning signs and allow ourselves redi

The Nagging belief of Unworthiness

  Dear Me, As I gaze at our reflection in the mirror today, I'm struck by the enduring desire we've always held—to be uniquely and unapologetically ourselves. We've consistently chosen the path less traveled, forging our own way even when it meant going against the grain. There's a certain exhilaration in being courageous enough to stand out, to articulate the unsaid with both grace and love. But there's a part of us that still lingers in the shadows, hesitant to emerge fully. I find myself wondering about the roots of that fear, and as I reflect, I see threads of it woven into the tapestry of our past. Growing up in a home marked by domestic violence, we learned the art of invisibility—stay silent, don't draw attention. Being a Native American brought its own set of lessons, teaching us to shy away from the spotlight for fear of danger, even death.   Childhood beatings and the echoes of being told that children should neither be seen nor heard added anoth
