Have you ever felt like speaking your truth will hurt other people or destroy things that you have created?

I’ve felt this.

Filtering what I think I should say, or not say to someone.

Feeling myself holding things back for fear of the outcome.

I don’t believe that everyone needs to know everything about everyone!

There are circumstances and styles and all sorts of things going on.

On one side there is respect for other people’s experiences, preferences, and possible existing traumas.

On the other, there is full transparency, radical honesty and full self-expression.

I’ve been searching for the sweet spot, tentatively stepping toward opening more and more.

The spot where I can show up and my true self.

Where I know I have reached inside myself and pulled out my Truth.

Found my desires.

Listened to myself and then share from that place.

Share it with honesty and vulnerability that will connect me to the people that I love and that I will love.

As I grow and share my desires, I choose to hold you as the sovereign, powerful being that you are.

I choose to show up as myself and hope you will do the same.
