Live your life in your truth confidently, and with conviction. Take the time to explore who you are, and even when your circumstances change around you, continue to be that person. Continue to stand firmly in your truth…your power, regardless of the circumstances or opinions.
This is the inner work that guides you, and builds character, strength and self awareness. It leads to healthy living through choosing healthy practices and loving relationships.
When we are rooted in self-discovery and personal growth, and we recognize the positive ripple effect it can have on others, we create a space of empowerment…
For everyone.
My reflection:
Being on my own for so many years has given me the opportunity, time after time, for self discovery and exploration.
And just when I think I “get it,” I am given another opportunity to go deeper and to learn even more.
Being a lifelong spiritual student is not for the faint hearted. However, it creates such a deep sense of self and connection to Spirit that builds resilience.
When I look back on my 12+ years of recovery from substance use disorder and mental health disorders, and I recognize where I am in the present moment and how I arrived here, I am in awe of how I have embraced the lessons and have empowered myself to become the woman, mom, grandmother, and friend who I admire, who I depend upon, solely, and most importantly, who I love.
There have been so many times where I became so filled with anxiety and felt hopeless, but when I pause and reflect, it reminds me of the many times before that one where I felt the same way and used my knowledge and experiences to help me take another step forward.
I speak up. I advocate for myself. I live my life as me, for me.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
