What’s Really Behind the Facade… The Importance of the Love Below

“Know Thyself” seems self explanatory right?

While most all of us have heard this aphorism and we still continue to underestimate the importance of what authentically “knowing” truly means.

We spend more time on other people’s priorities and far too little scratching the surface of knowing who we really are or truly taking into account what we have the potential to become. Don’t get me wrong, being selfless is how we live and lead with our Love, but it’s time to take inventory of ourselves.

No matter where you go, there you are. What happens when the mask chips?

Fertility Health aka The Money Shot

Those of you who watched my docu-series, Love In The City on OWN, caught a first hand glimpse of how absolutely painful, destructive, and spiritually draining the journey of trying to start a family and not being able to do so was for my self-esteem and marriage.

Admittedly, deciding to share this experience with the world was a terrifying one. But, after many teary nights, prayer and conversations with my ex-husband, I understood that sharing this chapter of my life might possibly be the very thing that could empower another.

You see, for three-years, I went through the ups and downs, weight gain, needle probing and prodding of trying to conceive all alone. Always the optimist, I put on a hot shoe and a smile and proceeded every day “as if” everything was A-Okay, the good ‘ole smile through. The truth was, I wasn’t okay. Hopped up on hormones, I was an emotional rollercoaster filled with a deep sadness. And no one, not even my (ex) husband had a clue of the deep psychological impact of what I was enduring.

The Ring of Fire, Birth Hurts Like a B*TCH (So I’ve Heard)

I wish we could break through (our moments of trial/limitations/issues/stagnation/stubbornness/ego) without the pain. It’s unfortunate that sometimes lasting transformation and the courage to get there only occurs when we’re knocked off our feet and doubled over in pain.  But, hey, if that’s what gets us there, why question it? So, in hindsight I guess those moments are fortunate. You’ll be surprised what the universe listens to and responds to when you’re finally available and committed to fight for your desires, to let go of all that’s holding you back. It is those times of truth that birth the desire to love self.

If you’re at that moment in time when your soul is screaming, “enough of this shit!” and you are truly ready for that next level of life, love, career, success or whatever your heart desires….then say this with me….

Living MY optimal life starts NOW!!!

No longer will I accept the unacceptable. No longer will I allow myself to be lead by others ideals or expectations of me. No longer will I judge myself or live by the judgements of others.  No longer will I feel guilty for doing what is needed to be the BEST version of me. No longer will I let my fear, disappointment or my pain put boundaries around my future or choke my desires.  No longer will I allow social conditioning or rules that don’t apply to MY truth dictate how I dress, love, create, dream or Live my life.

No longer am I willing to be a limited version of myself period!

Write this down and post it in a place you can see clearly and often…

Today I CHOOSE to Live Limitlessly!
