As a little girl, I wondered if anyone could see me? Or hear me? . . I felt invisible. I WAS invisible. . . My little voice was ignored & silenced repeatedly. . . Some months back, at the age of 42, I saw someone who had been a constant throughout my childhood. . . She leaned into me & said “Were you ok?” . . I blinked & stared at her for the longest time, before tilting my head to the side & saying “No. I was repeatedly abused. In every way as a child” . . She smiled a tight smile & uttered “Damn, I thought so” . . 😳🤦🏽♀️ . . I think this is what I need to work through & the universe is showing me every sign of ‘not being heard’ & ‘being invisible’ at the moment. . . This is why I held rage for so many years. People knew? People knew???? And did nothing? 🤷🏽♀️ . . Nothing. . . And the slate of the child I was...was shattered into a million pieces repeatedly, by the people who were meant to love me & complete strangers who didn’t give a damn......& that was meant to be my life...because adults who suspected....said & did nothing? . . Because I was invisible? Because I didn’t matter? Because I was silenced, repeatedly, even when I tried to speak out. . . Its no wonder I held such rage & got SO loud as I grew older. . . But here I am, re-living it. Turning back the pages to go deeper. The universe is calling me to finish the work. . . And its painful my friends. So painful my heart aches in my chest. My husbands eyes fill with tears, as he gazes at me, while I try to make sense of it all. And unravel all the ends... . . I waited a long time for this man of mine. Its no surprise that he is the kindest, gentlest, most loving man in the world. . . My soul so desperately needed his softness. He see’s me. He looks into my eyes & see’s the wounded child, the tortured teen, the lost young woman - he see’s them & loves each of them with such tenderness, he makes me weep. . . You are not ever invisible my friends. You are not alone. You are so worthy of being seen & heard. . . I hear you. I see you. I honour you. . . Get loud. Get messy. And don’t you ever apologise for who you are. Not ever. . . The world needs you, exactly & precisely as you are❤️
Sacred spaces. . . Meditation nooks . . The utterly breathtaking Goddess Arinna (Goddess of the Sun) hugging my floors. . . My living room is slowwwwwly going through the motions of massive change. I am desperately impatient to get it done, but alas, the more frustrated I become, the slower it goes 🙄 . . I hear you universe. I hear you. 😂👌🏼 . . So this morning I created a sacred space, overflowing with beauty...& gave all the frustration over to the light. . . Soon it will be done, but for now, I have transformed my energy into beauty. And its flooding my soul with joy 😍✨👌🏼🍃 . . Happy Wednesday my friends! A full moon is coming....I can feeeeeel her pulling at me. 🌕 🧘🏽♀️✨ 🔮 🍃 . . Can you? . . . . #energyhealer #lightworkers #bealighthouse #instagramforbusiness
There is no right or wrong. . There is no success or failure. . The only thing we MUST do is, try. . And keep trying. . For that flash of wonder, or that life altering break... . We must often suffer through a million disappointments, mistakes & failures first... . But all of it, all of it, is of earth & delight my friends. . . I am the total sum of all of my failures, flaws & mistakes & lawdddddd are there MANY! . . The climb is so tough. . But it makes you tougher. . Your bones become laced with fortitude & persistence bleeds through your wounds, leaving distinct footprints on the world, as your marker, your barometer. . . YOU EXIST. YOU PERSIST. YOU TRY. . . Resilience is a magnificent virtue, life aint all rainbows & canoes afterall, my friends... . . But thank God for every challenge, flaw, mistake & failure. . . THANK GOD, because in the breaths between....lies the magic, . . And they’ve all led me here 😍🤗✨🍃 - Me
