I AM A FREAKIN QUEEN!!
Chanellie is BACK! It is time to stop playing small!
This life is not a dress rehearsal. It is time for me to come out from the rock I have been under. It is time to come out of this hibernation of the soul. It is time to step back into the light again and SHINE like a freaking diamond again!
Wow its been a bumpy road the last few weeks/months! Has anyone else been feeling it all too? Like absolutely everything from the depths of your soul rise to the surface? Ever since I was in Peru this year, it has opened so much up for me. It's like I let the flood gates of pain, grief, loss and heavy emotions open and flood into my life. It has been a huge time of healing. I needed to fully feel all of them to then let them go with love and acceptance. Like the Phoenix, we must first burn to then rise.
Emotion = Energy in Motion
It is time to clear the way.
I have never allowed myself and given myself permission to feel in this way... so this was HUGE and I am so happy I had the courage to do that. I am such a being who loves to bask in the light and the sun. However this contrast of diving deep into the shadow and into my pain has been hugely healing and so necessary.
At the age of 26 I am having a huge reality check. What is it that I REALLY WANT in my life! Who do I want to surround myself with? I have realized for me these times are to become so clear on my desires and what I want to do with my life and how I want to make a difference in the world. What is my legacy as Chanel Baran?
My family I ask you... what are you desires? What is it that you really want in life? Have you been playing small? What is holding you back from truly shining?
This life is so fragile and can go by soooo fast! Like the blink of an eye. You never know what can happen. It's time to tell the people you love that you love them and to start really living your life. No more hiding and no more playing small!
Let go of all the shit! Let go of all other peoples shit! Let go of the pain! Forgive yourself and forgive others. Shake it off baby! Time to purify the soul and move forward.
Show me your shine! I want to see images of you all being your fabulous selves and ROCKING LIFE! Go on I dare you to try and capture your radiance!
