I am writing this just as much for myself as I am for you. So allow the following to be about you even though I write it the way I do.
If I am to be dead honest, and ask myself: Am I showing up? REALLY, truly showing up?
Unapologetically? As my true and honest self?
Do I speak my truth? However imperfect, woo-woo or provocative it may be?
Or, I am making myself show up as “acceptable” to whomever bumps into my writing?
You know, so I don’t risk rocking the boat or ruffle someone’s feathers….
When, in all honesty, that is what I sometimes want to do.
"The worst thing that happens in life is not death. The worst thing would be to miss it. . . . I think the great danger in life is not showing up." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen
I want to rock the boat.
I’ll happily ruffle someone’s feathers.
Because it is time. We - our whole existence - is at a crossroads and being nice won’t cut it if I long for more people to wake up to the power they carry within - and always has done - to impact the world in a positive sense. To create the world, their existence exactly as they want it to be.
To the fact that no one is coming to save us. It is up to YOU. And me. And every other human being out there to be self responsible. To go a little bit (or a lot) more inward to tap into our awereness of what is possible and where we are going.
Relax, I am not changing into some version of Cruella de Vil. You won’t find me come across as evil or downright mean.
BUT: If you are like me, you probably have a little more to go on to show up even more as YOU.
You know, simply tell it as it is. From your heart and soul.
The world needs us to. AND, if you, like me, have something burning inside that still wants to come out, let us set it free.
Let people out there know. So there is no doubt around who and how we are.
And who knows…. Someone out there might thank you for it (of course they will)
"The laughter that happens when people are truth-telling and showing up and being real - I call that "knowing laughter." That's what happens between people when we recognize the absurdity of the belief that we're alone in anything." ~ Brené Brown
Now, I know that the saying “just be you” isn’t always all that helpful, because a lot of people these days don’t quite remember who they are. We have, after all, been trained for years who to be in this world. Also, HOW you are is perhaps even more important.
When I put fingers to the keyboard today, I didn’t know exactly what would come through and I certainly didn’t intend to ask you to go anywhere near my website. BUT, here goes:
If the part about WHO and HOW you are struck a cord with you, you can easily download your free Human Design Chart there.
I think right now I could probably write for a few hours. So many ideas, thoughts and insights are having a party in my brain and the wise thing to do is to stop here. And come back another day.
Hopefully some of all of this has the potential to be a contribution to you and I hope our paths will cross again some day.
Thank you for reading. And thank you for BEing YOU!
