Our Stories

Most info here from: Brene Brown- One of my many angels




Courage: In latin, means KUR. Which translates into heart/speak your mind, wth your heart.

Alhough most people do not translate it like this these days. Most say that this word mens BRAVERY. Which yes, is basically the same thing, and I will explain why...

It's all about telling our story... We, as people are wired to tell our story. We were not born to keep secrets. It's sad, but our culture has made us afraid to tell our stories.

Our culture is full of fear.  The media has done this to us, along with too many bad opinions from society. Way of thinking. 

We don't tell our stories, because we are afraid of not fitting in, beng accepted.

You have the media, trying to tell us how we should look, feel,  walk, talk, jobs we should have, how many babies we should be having, what kind of house we need to live in, etc.. The list goes on and on.

It's a shame, it's sad.

It's a shame, because society is getting more and more depressed , more and more teen girls, are not only committing suicide, but cutting, rebelling by running away, getting pregnant, quitting school, etc.. Why?  Because not only do they not feel good enough, but because they are having a hard time " speaking their voice".  Why ?  No-one listens anymore...

We feel like communication on our feeings, is a weakness. We hold things inside, that shouldnt be held there. It not only messes with us mentally, but physically as well.

So how do we overcome this fear of speaking from our heart?  Telling our stories?

Courage... We need to get thru to our culture and let everyone know, I am PROUD of my stories, I am Proud of who I am.  Listen up!

Don't be afraid of not fitting in... What IS fitting in?  The house, the car, the job, the clothes, the body???

Let me tell ya a little secret, If you are not happy with yourself, if you aren't LETTING it out, your story, than believe me, none of that material stuff matters. None of it.  You can be SUPERFICIALLY happy, sure... But you are letting your soul suffer... For what?  Acceptance from society.

In the end, none of this will matter.

Share your IMperfections, embrace them.

Believe you ARE enough!

Discover the Joy, the happiness, that you deserve.

Stop trying to be like someone else. You are unique and you have gifts, that were only given to you, to embrace, to share.

Live out loud!!!!!!!!!

Say " hell yes" to life, to your stories, to your heart.

Leaps of Faith

I have to tell you, If it wasn’t for HAVI and Selma, I would not be where I am today. Not only where I am as in VIRGINIA, but a lot of where I am, emotionally. Thru my life coach training and lots of books, I have always been bombarded with “leap, and the net will appear” kind of stuff. But like Havi says, thinking about jumping off clips, taking leaps of faith, etc… Is well. Freaking terrifying.

It’s not really helpful, or necessary…. Those words burned right thru me, and left a permanent TATOO on my soul.  She is so right, its NOT necessary. What good is it, to have that feeling of fear. Hell, For so long, I have been afraid to take any LEAP. Sure, people say, that the NET will be there, or have FAITH.

Honestly, there is no reason that I can think of to have to work through that much fear. It just doesn’t make sense — and it’s totally unfair.( this is Havi, talking again here)

 It’s unfair, to feel so damn AFRAID of making a next step, especially when your internal or external angels and guides are telling you to get off your ass and just do it.  They are behind you all the way.  Trust them, your feelings and your intuition.  That’s the only faith I have now, my own intuition.

I look back at myself,  look at myself just a month ago.. scared to death, depressed, anxious.  All because I was afraid to trust my gut and just leave. “what if the net wasn’t there? What would happen? 

Now I just laugh at all that worry and anxiety and all the tears of being PETRIFIED, to make the move out of such a toxic place for me.  Faith didn’t get me here, the airplane did, my motivation did, my CHOICE, my decision, to finally get up the nerve to leave my comfort zone.  I did it.. ( My angels are partying hardy right now)

I am  not saying here, to have no faith, I am not saying that at all. I am just trying to tell you, the FEAR… Of leaving your comfort zone, the fear of not knowing what may happen, or if you will be able to survive and go on…Is Bullshit. Look that fear in the face and tell it to go straight to Hell…

That fear is your INNER vampires, just fucking with you.

You have the RESPONSIBILITY to be all you can be., right here, right now.

Go for It. Life is waiting for you. Give the universe a reason to sit up and party!

SO I leave you a quote from my cosmic twin, Sera Beak:

“ To all, who are afraid to show their true self- their true spirit that pulses passionately and playfully within, I have something to relay:  ECTASY CALLED… She wants her energy back.. with interest.
