The Magic In BEing YOU

One of the most challenging and life enhancing lessons I’ve learned is:

I am enough.
I am worthy.
I am loved. 

I didn't always feel that way.

And honestly, it's an ongoing lesson. One that is helpful for me to keep learning at deeper and deeper levels.

I believe the not feeling that way was a combination both of an upbringing with parents who did their best but didn't have a lot of emotional intelligence or maturity, and being born into a culture where thinking too much of oneself made you arrogant and making mistakes made you stupid.

And I learned very early that it was not good to be either - arrogant or stupid!

I worked really hard to show how smart I was. How capable I could be. But it never felt like it was actually enough.

I learned to be incredibly independent - and even when I felt alone or overwhelmed, it was soooo hard to ask for help

!I also developed a strong sense of humility. So much so that I never wanted to stand out. I got embarrassed if anyone noticed me. I shrugged off compliments (though if I'm honest, my heart would sing a little before I shut it down with negative self talk).But that all changed. 

When? 

There wasn't a single moment. It's been a change more like a river has on a landscape. Little by little, the currents of my thoughts have created new channels of belief. My intentions have carried me into an ocean of new possibilities. The practices of self-care, reflection, and embodied spirituality have held me up through some dark nights of the soul.

And there are still the eddies of old patterns that I can get stuck in sometimes. But also a lot more "paddling" skill for getting back into the current where things flow. 

There is fast moving water, even rapids where I feel I might get swept away or thrown overboard. But also a deep trust that if I simply keep my seat, and keep on paddling, everything is going in exactly the right direction.

It's a special kind of magic, the magic of being me. And I have come to deeply value that. To find joy in my uniqueness. And to cherish the time I have to do what I'm here to do.

And my passion is to help you to find that special magic for yourself too.
