Embracing Authenticity in 2024

Hello Beautiful Souls,

As we step into 2024, I am thrilled to share a profound shift in perspective that has changed my approach to being online. 

For the longest time, I grappled with the notion of putting myself out there on social media, feeling it came across as "salesy." Toward the end of the year I mentioned to my husband that we could each choose a Word for the Year. He got his right away but I didn’t, so I asked him to wait to share until I had one. As I meditated on this, what I heard was that one Word cannot express the sense of motion that would keep me inspired. So then I asked myself, what phrase might work for me. Immediately my phrase for 2024 came in for me – “authentically creating and publishing”  – and is guiding all my creative expression.

This phrase has ignited a newfound enthusiasm within me to step out of my comfort zone and share more of my journey, experiences, knowledge and wisdom. I've come to realize that social media can be a canvas where I can creatively contribute to the collective well-being.

Sharing from my heart . . .

Today, I want to take a moment to share a piece of my heart with you. This morning, as the sun highlighted my desk and my dad's clock ticked away, I found myself in the present moment. I wrote a poem that reflects this appreciation for the NOW – for being right here, right now.

Taking My Time

Morning sun highlighting my desk

Dad’s clock tick tick ticking

This is the NOW 

Right here, right now.

Time to decide which action to take

The Not Here, Not Now

Things To Do

Rise within me and up my spine.

Eyes closed, warm sun on my

Hand and arm

Pulling me back to the

Sounds of clicking, the NOW.

What shall it be?

Things To Do or Me?

Allowing a Shift of Perspective

This poem encapsulates the essence of my journey – the struggle between the demands of daily life and the beauty of being present. It's a reminder that in the midst of our busy lives, we have the power to choose between “Things To Do” or “Me.”

What once felt like a daunting task of writing social media posts has evolved into a beautiful and fun opportunity to add light and hope to others. I'm here to share my authentic self, and in doing so, I hope to inspire and uplift those who come across my posts.

Life has a way of surprising us, and sometimes, a shift in perspective can change everything. I want to encourage you to embrace those moments of change, to explore new avenues and to discover the joy that comes with expressing your true self.
