You Have the Power. You Have the Choice. November 2024
Awakening this morning, I have a deeper awareness of my feelings and surroundings. After a fitful sleep and intense desire to stay in bed, I have a deep recognition that on the most profound level, I am OK. I am safe. I trust. The universe brings amazing gifts in sometimes unwanted packages.
I grew up the child of two immigrants in a city with wildly vast cultures flanked in historical strife, in a country learning and believing in freedom. A child who learned that being different was frowned upon. A time in a country where people noticed you first for the texture of your hair and the hues of your skin color. Having the right shoes, car, house, and friends mattered. Where you are from matters. A time where you had your place and you had to stay there. Don't aim too high, don't go too low. Praying on Sunday, judging all those who don't. A time where if you had a cold or flu, ignorant children would point fingers saying you have that deadly disease spread by "those people" even before you'd understood sex or had a first kiss. A time where I learned to hide my feelings, visions, and insight because I wasn't safe. It wasn't OK to see what I see; feel what I feel; think what I think; friend who I friend; LOVE how I love.
I grew up different. Feeling on so many levels. Feeling fear. Aware of the roots of shame, guilt, rage, joy, bliss, and LOVE. Knowing without understanding. A minority on many levels.
Today I remember all that I have experienced. Today I remember all that I have attracted to remind and teach me how to LOVE. How to be compassionate. How I am safe. I know and trust that I am OK. My being different serves me well. My ability to feel helps me help you. Who I am and how I LOVE is a gift. I am blessed to know that whatever stands before me is an opportunity to grow. I choose to evolve using the environment I am in.
Join me.
Today I remind you of what you have lived through and how you have prevailed. Today I ask you to awaken to the you who can rise up and choose your future. The you who can choose the world you want. I know and trust that you are OK. I have felt your passion, strength, and LOVE. Choose to remember to LOVE.
Attract what you need, to create what you need, to be more than safe... more than OK.
Choose to create a New Day to Empower a New Tomorrow.
I'm here for you. You've got this.
LOVE your way!
Create a beautiful day,
T
