Truth

Truth is a word I have been hearing a lot of lately. Whether I am being told to speak my truth or live my truth. It just keeps coming up. 

Keep in mind we are not talking about that surface level truth of being honest. That part I have no problem with. I am a very honest person. I consider myself an open book, and don’t hesitate to answer questions about myself. I want to be seen for who I truly am, and I want to see you for who you truly are. This is why I will ask questions, and I will dig to find deeper meaning in myself and others. 

You see I long to find my own truth as well. I want to digger deeper into my own being and figure out who exactly I was created to be, and what am I supposed to do with who I am on this earth plane. This goes deeper than “what do I like to do.” This is the “what can’t I keep myself from doing.” 

What I have discovered so far: I have to laugh as much as I can. I have to smile. I have to brighten up someone’s day. I have to make others laugh. I have to heal myself and those around me. I have to sing. I have to dance. I have to be on stage every now and again. I have to play. I have to write. I have to have music. I have to visit the ocean every once and a while. I have to love. 

I can’t go a day without loving. I have so much love to give that if I don’t give away as much as I can everyday, I will explode. 

This is the truth I am taking about. That inner truth. The truth that is purely yours, purely you. For a long time I was living everyone else’s truth (and I am still working on breaking that one). I tried to make my life look like what everyone else wanted it to look like. The more I break out of that, the more those people I was trying to please freak out. The life I was beginning to build did not look safe to them. These are the people waiting for me to crash and burn. To those I say, don’t hold your breath. 

I have a fantastic support system that believes in me and what I do, but most of all I have learned to believe in myself. The more I step into my truth, the better it feels. The closer I get to becoming who I truly am, the more peace I have. The more peace I have, the happier I am. The happier I am, the more I can impact the world. 

Why this desire to impact the world? Simply, because the world needs an impact like this. I have known incredible healing, and the freedom it brings. Through my path of healing, I have learned to help others heal. I am still learning. I want to learn everything I can so that I can pass it along to the rest of the world. 

I want you to know the freedom of being your best self. I want you to be able to give and receive love. I want you to be able to live your best life possible. Your truest life. Being freed from your junk, and everything that is holding you back is an incredible feeling. The healing process is so worth it. That is what I wish for the world. Love and healing. 

The key to that is as easy as beginning your search. Start a journal. One that no one reads. You can’t even go back and read it until at least 3 months later. No pressure, the spelling and grammar does’t have to be right. As a matter of fact, you don’t even have to know what to write about. Work your way up to at least 3 pages a day. If you don’t feel like writing, write it down, “I don’t feel like writing today, I am tired and this feels tedious today........” Usually, you can end up getting an entry out of even that. 

It is important to express yourself and give your thoughts and feelings somewhere to land outside of your body. You will get to know yourself in a whole new way. The more you get to know yourself, the more you will be able to discover the truest version of you. This will help illuminate your purpose as well as where there might be blocks happening. What do you need to heal? What is keeping you stuck? How can you step out of these old thought patterns and free your body, mind, and soul?

Find your truth. Seek your purpose. Once you figure out what you are supposed to do, you will find that you do it a way no one else can. Your gift, your purpose, your true self are yours and completely unique to you.

The Opposite of Love

The opposite of love is not hate. You have to love something in order to hate something. For instance, if you hate child abusers, you most likely love children. If you hate animal abusers, you most likely love animals. If you hate brussel sprouts, you may very well have a love for, let's just say, key lime pie (one of my personal weaknesses). To hate a person you have to care enough about them to actually hate them. If you don't care about a person, no fiery emotion will be attached to them. If you feel like you hate someone for no particular reason, then it may be time to do a heart check. This often happens when you see something in this person that either reflects something in you that you don't like about yourself, or they are reflecting something you fear becoming.

Which brings me to the true opposite of love, fear. Fear can counteract anything that love can accomplish. It can be created by pain, rejection, or even old thinking patterns. You may have been taught to live fearfully. You may have been taught that the world around you is unsafe. You may have been taught that you are not worthy of all of the good this world has to offer, that you are not good enough, or maybe even just not enough. None of this is true. Not only are we all (yes, each and every one of us) a child of God, but we are a part of God. This means that you have no reason to fear.

Fear can be subtle, or it can be debilitating.


We know most of our bigger phobias such as heights, snakes, confined spaces, spiders, things like that. It's the subtle ones we need to watch out for. They are not always easy to see, but they are blocking us from becoming our best selves. They block us from our highest and best good. They block us from our bliss.

These are the sneaky little bastards that like to get in our way on a daily basis. That fear of abandonment that turns us into a clingy girlfriend or boyfriend, or on the other hand could keep us from allowing anyone to get too close to us. It's that fear of rejection or not being good enough that keeps us from sharing our gifts. It's that fear of failure that makes us into workaholics. The fear that comes with living up to someone else's idea of success that keeps us from doing what we are meant to do, and being who we are meant to be.

More often then not, we see the blocks before re realize the fears. Sometimes, though, the fears have been there so long, we don't know what it is like to be without them. It's all we know. The trick is not to be afraid of facing your fears. They serve the purpose of protecting you, however that is not the kind of protection you need. You have to realize that not everyone is going to do what that ex did to you. Not everyone is going to treat you like that one friend. Is there a chance that history could repeat itself? Possibly. However, you have to be mindful of yourself. You could very well be blocking the good out with bad. I don't normally like to define things as "bad" since everything is meant to help us grow and learn, however, I felt in this case it got the point across more clearly.

Fear is the shackles that bind you, and Love is the key that frees you.

Your fears must be faced with Love. Just as fear counteracts love, love counteracts fear. This is how we can heal, grow and become the best version of ourselves possible.
