I have, the gloves are off too.😏
Everyone who knows me, know I lead with love, but being a leader means you have to be wise, strong and bold too. I know why I was tired and anxious for so long and it was because I wasn't being authentic with myself.
Being authentic in the world is second nature to some, but it wasnt quite the case for me. In fact the first writing I wrote for myself ( not for a school or church assignment) was called "The Mask" when I was about 15 years old.
I can truly say, as of this moment, seeing my changes and progress these last 6 months, have me utterly stunned. I mean it. I am shocked at the things I'm saying, doing and accomplishing in a day. Who is this strong woman?
She is the result of pure labor. I've excavated my mind, heart and soul. Down to the very last cobwebby corner and I met and claimed my shadows. Bringing a loving light to all the scared parts of me which I hid along the way. I did not do this alone, it was quite the opposite. A community of family, friends, coaches and healers guided me on my way. This is how I became authentic with myself.
Once I reached that level of self-truth, It is up to me where I put my energy. There is no one to blame, not even myself. My current living and loving conditions are a result of my choices and lifestyle. Do I want it? If I don't, well then let's change it.
The effort I put in to be able to write these words is nothing to sneeze at. With the knowledge that I am living up to a greater potential than I believed I could today...my invitation to you...
"I dare you to take off the mask"
