Authenticity

For your consideration…

No one can do you like you. And you can’t do someone else like they can. Each of us is one of a kind. It is Divinely mandated.

We know this. But we don’t always remember that we do. All too often we get caught up in the drama of other people, events, the media, and instead of being our authentic self be become “cling-ons.” Too late we realize the investment of these outside influences are a waste of our time, energy, and spirit.

Our authentic self has everything it needs for us to be all that we are meant to be. We don’t need permission. Other people’s opinions do not matter. At the same time ours should not matter to them. A crowd does not make our authentic self ‘s beliefs more powerful. Only we can do that. At the same time lending our energy to someone else does not make them more powerful. Bluster does not equal authenticity.

We are asked today to go within. Tune the rest of the noise out. Get in touch with our own authentic self. Commit to doing this each day.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Remember..You are the keeper of the light. Wherever you go there can be no darkness.

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Let your authentic self shine.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A crazy weather day.

-A trip to Home Depot and picked up everything to start our garden seeds.

-Catching up with Mary and Alex.

-A weather alert sent me to the basement. I got some card making done.

-It took some creativity but I was still able to get the blog written last night even with no power.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
