This is a Heroine’s Journey
Choose freedom. Do not let fear or limited perceptions keep you bound to a reality or story that is no longer true for you. Acknowledge the lessons of your past and release the rest. Recognize where you have failed, where your choices have been flawed, and where your actions have been weak. These are your gems, for they exist in all of humanity, and provide a clear and compassionate understanding of the Nature of ourselves and how we connect to others.
My history is complex, overflowing with moments of wise and confident choices, successes, and hurdling over obstacles with resilient determination. It is also muddied with insecurity, self-doubt, and searching for love that led to self-sabotage and poor choices. This is wholeness. This is our soul’s evolution, the path to transformation, and a wisdom and understanding that arises from ALL experience.
I grew up surrounded by disempowered feminine presence, models of the destruction that happens when we spill woundedness on everything around us. The lessons of a fearful life instilled in me an obstinate rebellion to become the exact opposite, and also a deeply hidden fear that I would become exactly that; a fragmented soul that denied anything in myself that appeared weak and vulnerable. My denial allowed me to outrun ancestral wounds for some time, only to discover that they had played out unconsciously in my life in a magnitude of catastrophic ways. A certain relief and healing flowed in when I realized I didn’t need to escape them, I needed to embrace them. When that call comes, it is also a fierce reckoning, a battle that rages within and demands that we see.
The truth of this journey is the ebb and flow of raging resistance and battle-worn surrender. This is a heroine’s journey, a call to heal, to transform, and to rise up into our power. It is a return to truth. In many ways we become unrecognizable even to ourselves; a soft creature emerging from a hard shell of illusion. Patience is necessary. We are re-learning ourselves, a new self that is somewhat familiar, but also completely unknown. Give it time, my love. This vulnerable newness is emerging to gift you with mountainous strength. Resistance only delays a process that is inevitable. Let it all go, let it just be an old story.
Be present in the beauty of your newness, a blank slate of infinite possibility. What new story will you Craft and Create? Make it one that embodies your feminine courage and strength. Make it a story you have never known. Does this Creation story seem impossible from what you have known? Choose it. That is the one that is meant for you, your soul’s longing for your own greatness. Playing small is no longer an option. See your own beauty and wholeness, your own infinite potential, and your priceless worth. Embrace your flaws, focus on your gifts, acknowledge your choice, and use your voice.
The Universe is waiting for you to say yes. Our world needs you. We need your story, your tragedy, your rise to your own power, and the truth of your wholeness. You are a beautiful jeweled piece in the global puzzle of transformation. Shine brightly and share your unique beauty with the changing world. You are the artist of what our world will become. Create yourself with bold glittering Magic. YOU BEcome your own dream. And so it is.
