My thoughts and feelings about being 'strong'

-

I think, sometimes, being strong all the time keeps us from feeling our real emotions, thinking our real thoughts.  Being strong, all the time can for me can create a rigid way of being, like I would crack at the slightest storm.  

 I also think - being 'strong' can have the same badge of honour as being 'busy'. 
I think being real, authentic and moving even when afraid - is a healthier way {for me} than being strong. 

I think being in a fluid & an adaptable awareness about what I am feeling is healthier for me than being strong, all the time.  

I also believe - we can make a more heartfelt decision when are our hearts are shattered, broken or cracked open -- then we need perseverance and strength of mind to carry it forward. 

Paying attention to our feelings, our inklings and our desires when we feel we are at our most vulnerable can serve us well.  

Anyway, I feel being 'strong' all the time is a dis service to our hearts.  

Soften, feel and allow the light to enter the wound and heal it.  
I love this time, just as the sun reveals itself

As Rumi says; 'the wound is the place where the Light enters you' 

Feel free to feel as you wish -- strong all the time is not required.  

These are my own thoughts - you of course are invited to think, feel and know your own mind and heart.  Please do.

Today is also the first day in a long while, perhaps a month, since I sat down with the healing, nuturing power of my journal.  I wrote intentions for moving forward, I wrote about desires I want to see come into full being.  I wrote. Is there something from your past, something from your wellness care that has worked and yet you have dropped it or it has slipped from your daily round? Is it time, now, to begin, again?

Today, I was honoured, again.

Today I was honoured, again.  I was honoured last week as well.  How was I honoured?  I have had two people on separate occasions ask - 'how did you begin, I want to do what you do'.  I am honoured.  Thank you, for asking.  There has not been one course or one school I attended to become or to be what I am now.  I feel my role is to support people as they remember happiness is their truth - and I support people to be happy in all they do.  Simple.  Maybe?  I do this through of a variety of ways. Mostly I do it by being me.  I started all of this really in the early 1990s as a volunteer fitness instructor with our local YMCA because of a fitness class I attended in the late 1980s {baby making years} - I thought, 'I could do that' and I did.  I took all the required courses (I believe proper training is important) and I began teaching classes, I then saw a need to do one on one training and began that -- at the time there were no real courses to support this desire,
