Hi friends! I know it’s been awhile but as many of you out there, summer was crazy for me too. But, the Fall is upon us, with the leaves already changing colors and dropping to the ground. I know I’m not alone in being happy that the hot is gone. Bring on the sweater weather!!
I’ve been wanting to write a post for a few weeks now. There is so much to talk about, I was at a loss as to where to start. But then last night happened and I then knew exactly what I wanted to say.
First, give this a listen to.
This song says it all doesn’t it? No matter the trials and tribulations we face I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that I have people in my life who will stand beside me offering their strength and love to help me make it through the dark and into the light again. I have placed these people in my life for reasons that I may not even fully understand yet. Man am I smart or what?
And just as I have placed these amazing spirits where I need them, they have done the same with me. They have me just where they need me. Whenever and wherever, I am there!!
No judgments. No snide remarks. No phoniness. Real life. Real friends. Real hearts.
There is one catch though. You have to be willing and open to accept the help. Let that person help you carry on. Don’t push them away. You need them. This is a lesson I had to learn. I felt that if I gave in and admitted I needed help I was a failure. Failure was and still can be sometimes one of my biggest fears. I felt like I was claiming defeat, like I had no power. As a child, I had no power, so naturally, as I got older I had to have the power always. I had to be the one in control no matter what. While other areas of my life suffered, I was determined to make it seem like I had it all together. It thought I was ok with hurting on the inside as long as people thought I was strong and happy on the outside. Boy was I foolish. As Iyanla would say, ‘Let’s call a thing a thing people!!’
After I finally admitted to myself what was really going on and finally allowed the true healing to begin, I was able to welcome the love and support from others. I knew I wasn’t alone. Being alone can be so completely debilitating. No one should have to live like that.
Be honest. Speak the truth. Be the light.
Once you release all that tension and let go of the barriers you insist on carrying with you, I promise it be so freeing. You will free your mind, free your soul and free your future. All of the possibilities can unfold right in front of you just by swallowing some of that pride!!
Have a great day lovies!!
