AMOUR-PROPRE (French) - it begins with conscious remembering; a clear moment of recognition.
You stop waiting to be chosen,
and start honoring the truth you’ve always carried.
Not to prove anything.
Not to be seen.
But because you know who you are now.

This isn’t performance.
It’s genuine and conscious presence.
A return to alignment after years of shape shifting, explaining, and sacrificing energy, potential, time and parts of yourself just to keep temporary peace.
You no longer trade your truth for belonging.

Amour-propre is the way someone stands firmly within themselves.
Their posture isn’t for show—
it’s the result of self respect earned through fire.
The steadiness of someone who no longer abandons themselves to make others comfortable.

It doesn’t shout.
It doesn’t shrink.
It doesn’t chase.

This kind of self worth lives in the way you make decisions, in the awareness & boundaries you hold,
in the peace you no longer feel the need to explain.
It’s a strength that doesn’t require recognition— because it’s built on truth, not validation.

People who carry amour propre move differently.
They don’t compete for space.
They become the space.
They don’t justify their light—they honor it.

Amour propre is what emerges
when you stop betraying your conscience and your values and start walking in step with who you’re becoming.
It’s not ego—it’s alignment.
It’s integrity in its purest form.

Rising doesn't always look like a phoenix rising from the ashes...

The calmer you become, the closer you get to your truth.
In stillness, your soul speaks. In chaos, your ego shouts. And so many of us have made life-altering decisions from a place of reaction—only to wake up later wondering why things feel misaligned.

Clarity doesn’t come when you’re triggered, overwhelmed, or rushing to fix a feeling. It comes when you pause, breathe, and return to presence. When you allow the wave of emotion to pass without attaching to it. Because beneath every surge of fear, anger, or urgency… there’s a quiet knowing waiting to be heard.

The ego wants to react—it wants control, immediate resolution, or validation. But the soul? The soul wants to respond. It waits. It listens. It chooses not from fear, but from alignment.

Think about it: how many times have you said or done something in the heat of the moment, only to regret it later? That’s not failure—it’s a lesson. A reminder that decisions made from peace often lead to peace. But decisions made in emotional chaos tend to create more of the same.

So when life presses you, when situations feel urgent, when someone else’s energy is trying to pull you out of yourself—return to stillness.

Let the storm pass. Let the emotion move. And then decide.

You’ll find that your intuition speaks more clearly in the quiet. That your conscience becomes the compass. And that your life slowly begins to reflect the serenity you choose within.

So here’s the real question to ask yourself today:
Are your choices coming from fear… or from alignment?
And what would shift if you only moved from peace?

As if spoken from my own heart… and what is on my mind this morning. It gets heavy and can come in waves. It’s ok; that’s healing. It happens in layers, and sometimes as one peels back it exposes a new rawness where a bed of unresolved pain exists. For a moment, the judgement and self-loathing sit next to me, their long, familiar, spiny fingers reaching out to “comfort” me. But you see, I’m on to them. The thoughts of Truth come much more quickly these days to neutralize the chaos within. What is the Truth? For me, it’s knowing that nothing holds value except my relationship with my Creator. Perfect Love.

The past six years have been a blur but certainly the most poignant in my life. All that I thought was true about me and life and love and God and- just all the stuff- was turned upside down and its innards lay in the ground before me. What I’m learning is that to keep it simple, I only need to go back to the beginning of everything, which is my relationship with my Creator. I’m not the mess everyone told me I was. Sure, there was a lot I had to heal from. But I learned that I could change my thoughts around what happened to me, that I’m not a victim, and all that occurred and continues to occur is for me, not against me. Its purpose is to remind me WHO. I. AM.
Today, I’m remembering a song I wrote over 12 years ago, a song that reflected what I knew even then. I posted the song in the comments below. 💖
