In truth, this has been a really vulnerable time for me, I’ve shared more than before, heart of my sleeve, processing as I was going through it. I’m sure a psychologist would recommend resolving everything before you put it on a plate for the public, but something otherworldly felt like it was guiding me to take this approach. It wasn’t even like I ‘was compelled’ but like I was driven to. My ego kicked up an almighty fuss, with terrifying tales of that one would ever want to learn from me after so much struggle and that I would certainly live to regret it. Once I reconciled that what other people think of me is none of my business, and aligned to the path of authenticity and going by what was guiding me rather than the other option (pre-empting what people might and then attempt to mitigate this – a sure fire path to madness) it all flowed.
The most incredible support and grace has come from this path, this on the ground story telling. The gratitude I experience is something I would never have known if I had chosen not to share. The relationships that have grown, the kindness shared, the lessons gained.
So I implore you to check in, and see if you’re shading a story in an attempt to receive a glowing review, to ensure you’re never acting from a place of protection of the ego, of fear. Because when we are aligned, truly aligned, and get out of our own way, the experience of life is truly marvellous.
Written with love,
