Anyone that "truly"knows me and has been in my presence knows that I've been referred to as a go getter, trendsetter, motivator, cheerleader or lol the strong one( I hear this one so vividly in my head), ect., ect. You know the one that is always making a way for others, or supporting or making others feel ok whether I'm ok or not. Many times I've taken on mine and many others issues, needs, goals at the same time. I thank God for who I am. I'm also glad I chose to STOP and DO THE WORK.. I sometimes cry at the drop of a dime (my kids say I've gotten soft) because I'm so passionate about what I do or the ones I love no matter if it's good, bad or a life changing experience. You know sometimes my emotions get the best of me because I love hard and transparently. It hurts when the people you give that love to give you less or not even the equivalent back. They lie on you, try and degrade your character, secretly wish for your downfall, fake support you,talk bad about you and the list could go on and on. However, I have learned to forgive and move forward, not always easy but eventually it all works out. Everything just seems to work out for me. For that simple reason.. forgiveness always brings me back to love. I've learned some valuable lessons The last 5 years, one being it's ok to FEEL. Feel, embrace, check it out, manage the core belief, and fix it. You know.. DO THE WORK! The best lesson I've learned recently is that a little (self)ishness is ok. Do what you need for you as long as it reflects what you would want in return. So yes I cry but you better believe there is strength in balance♥️ #startlingilluminations #stilllearning #stillgrowing #stillloving #stillcrying #stillhealing
