Choose Life
I received another apropos message, given the idea that in the past I have not fully brought forth all of my gifts and strengths. I have been afraid to be big. To be powerful. I have done so in many areas of my life; I have done this in my relationships. I have behaved in certain ways, as if I were fully myself, there would not be a container large enough to hold me.
Choose life! Only that and always! At whatever risk. To let life leak out, to let it wear away by the mere passage of time, to withhold giving and spending it...is to choose nothing.

My time of waiting is over. In my assessment, I said that I wanted to step fully into my own power. But it’s not something that is out there, in the distant future.
I am doing this now; I am taking the first steps to bring forth all of who I am—at whatever risk.
I choose life.

I'm priviledged to be a witness to your growth.
You're able to put so many of the same feelings I'm having in such a beautiful way. Thank you for that and more.
Marlane,
Thank you so much for your comments.
It’s been a real learning experience for me to see that the more I show of myself (all of myself), the stronger connection I have with others. Your appreciation means the world to me—and I’m grateful that you are walking the path with me.
