I am so present in this moment as to why I do what I do, writing and speaking so vulnerably. Sharing the things I dont want to speak out loud. Writing whats alive for me in that moment and pressing post when my heart is beating fast and I am afraid. I do what I do to inspire other women to tell the truth. I want every woman to have permission to be fully self-expressed and not hold anything back. So she feels free and alive and powerful in who she is. No apologies. No conditions. No masks. I received a heart-felt email from a woman today whom I met 3+ years ago. She had been wanting to write this email for a while and kept putting it off. Little did she know that in her acknowledgements of how Ive inspired her, she would give me one of the greatest gifts I could ever receive. I dont need the acknowledgements because I dont do what I do for validation. I allow what wants to come through to come through with as little censorship as possible. And I trust that it will be received by exactly the right people who need the medicine I am sharing. The best part of her email: while she was in labor earlier this year, she asked her sisters to light a candle for her. She hesitated in asking me because we werent close. And of course, she said she regretted it. Tonight I light my candle for her and all she is birthing in her life. And I hold the intention for her and every woman to ask for what she needs and wants, knowing she is worthy of receiving all that and more.
