There is a global communal shift taking place….a conscious awareness towards
love and spirituality that is more prevalent than it has ever been. Even admist the economic turmoil, the constant conflict of war, the subliminal seduction of
fear induced media, the distraction of technology, the plague of independence,
success and wealth……beyond that…..there is an overall feeling that our world is
moving towards a place of love, a place of community, a place of well-being. It is all from the
Divine Spirit, regardless of the label you may choose to give It, I say it is
Heavenly Father, to others it has many names. Religion is only a vehicle to the
true essence of the Divine, regardless of how one may associate and recognize It.
The
majority of us go through life pleasing others…our parents, an idea of what we
had about ourselves, an idea of what society had about us. We are emotionally,
mentally, unconsciously bound to that expectation….…so much so that we rarely
ever sit back and genuinely explore who we really are and what we genuinely want….what
our spirit calls to us to fulfill. Usually, it’s not until life's experiences set
in and we have had enough..... aka “mid-life crisis”. It’s a wakeup call to live
authentically. And the earlier in life you become aware of it, the better. The best way to change the conciousness of others is by your example. It begins with you. Everything. All things.
Growing up in Alaska where strong women were revered, sought after, empowered it was culture shock moving to the Lower 48’s. It took me at least a decade and a half to understand how the culture down here really worked and it was like stepping back in time 40 years to the Stepford Wives. Suppressed. Especially in the career and dating arena. In general, men down here are threatened by a woman who knows who she is even though they may verbalize the opposite. In my experience as a woman in her twenties, thirties and forties having a career in restaurant, golf, finance, mortgages and law enforcement(which was the only exception because they were ALL protective), believe me, I have seen the entire realm professionally and personally.
It wasn’t until moving to the United States (Alaska and Hawaii are only annexes of the United States and actually are governed under International Law) that I felt the full impact of being a woman. I began to second guess everything about me and tried to conform to other's belief systems. My self-esteem unknowingly plummeted and the standard I had held for myself did as well. If there is one thing I can offer to anyone, it is the empowerment of being authentic, genuine and true to yourself. One of my most favorite songs in the world is by Neil Diamond….it’s “I Am, I Said”…it resonates deeply with me…saying…” LOOK at me….I AM! I AM someone, I feel, I laugh, I cry, I hope, I dream, I am a child of God...just like you, I live..…..SEE me for who I am and not what everyone wants me to be”. Live your life authentically, without fear of repercussion, be true to yourself, always, no matter what the consequences because you will be leading the way and HE will make THE way. By doing this, we WILL change the world. :)
