Show Them the Way

I often find inspiration from the wisdom of others, the collective and integrated parts of our humanity inextricably linked together helps us expand individually as well. Today, that wisdom comes from Eve Ensler, playwright and author who said: "When we give the world what we want the most, we heal the broken part inside of each of us."

I suppose then, this is what I am hoping to do with my upcoming memoir, Every Day, I'm Brave. As I work to finalize and piece together all its parts, I've come to a deeper knowing that what so many, including myself, really want is to be seen, heard, and loved both as we are in our full expression and through the work we do to better ourselves.

We are not broken, but parts of us feel deeply broken.

The parts that are afraid or constantly worry so much so that we are paralyzed and stunted with inaction. The parts that are unwilling or unable to open more fully to receive love because it's been hurt before. The parts that are sabotaging the dreams and goals we have to be the best version of ourselves and be accepted.

So we create that which we need. We give from our hearts so that together we can love and heal those shattered bits. To acknowledge that we don't have to do this life alone, that we can build community and share our experiences and build upon our creativity both in service to others and to ourselves.

You see, that's what I've always known deep down. That we have to do the inner work to see the outer change. 

So give from that place that desires to create what you yourself need, because I guarantee you are not the only one who needs it and others are here, waiting for you to show them the way.
